Glad Someone made this mod! I just wish I was born in the 70s, for a more authentic gameplay experience. No biggie diggie.

my life simulator

Hey, I've spent the last year living with extreme cataracts, Went from normal vision to nothing in 2 months. have recently had double surgery and am on the mend, This mod hits home for me as i lived it in RL, i love trying to RP ingame so this is perfect! Please consider updating for B42

this is a sick mod! i was so annoyed when the only good looking glasses didnt work for some reason!

Can you make another mod that includes more traits??

2 points? It's literally unplayable without glasses and all I get is 2 points

@WildWitchoftheWest All these are very good points, I decided to draw the line at the simple principle "glasses = normal vision / no glasses = problems". Being myself myopic, I can read a few words up close but surely reading a full 500 pages book would make my head hurt a lot, but we all have a very wide range of eye impairment and I don't think it is worth the time implementing that range to fulfill that fantasy of being visually impaired in a Zombie Apocalypse, current simple game mechanics I think is enough.

Also, all Zomboid mods have their code open and can be recovered from, if you think there is a better version of it somewhere, update it to make it your local/private version fitting your need!

You know that people that are Nearsighted see things up close just fine, right? Why does this trait add the fact that they can't just like people that are farsighted? Also, why not make varying degrees of severity, aka multiple traits? Some people (like myself) have a minor Myopia where it would blur things further away, maybe affect aiming, etc. but I can still see up close relatively well. Then a version like what you have already that you basically couldn't see anything that gives more trait points?

glasses are to hard to find considering how many people have them

def needs to be worth more points than short sighted which only has a fraction of the downsides lol

please, continue the mod!!

is posible to add a patch to reduce the chance or the damage of droping the glasses to compensate the usage the tripping mod (its playable but a bit to extreme)

Wait, so myopic characters (those who can see fine up close but not far away) CAN'T read or forage without glasses? Do you see how this doesn't make sense?

"Benefit from +2 points from the Myopic trait" for just 2 points its not worth it at all, it should gives at least 6 or idk, its very hard to play that way sometimes (specially at the beginning)

I'm suffering from this error, I don't know if it could be your mod or someone else in my pack. The strange thing is that it only happens to me, and it doesn't happen to my friends. When I leave the server and re-enter my character, my character gets sick as if he had been bitten and it dies, I already uninstalled the game and reinstalled it, I restarted the server and reinstalled it and the same thing happens to me, I don't know if it's a bug or what I'm doing wrong, the strangest thing is that I host the server from another PC but with myself Steam account, I shouldn't have a problem being me, am I supposed to? If you can help me, thank you, it's ruining my ability to enjoy and enjoy a great game.

here I explain more about my case
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/app/108600/discussions/6/4353365802913064673/

May I add this to my modpack?

I have pretty bad Myopia IRL but I can still read. I mistakenly began my run without selecting glasses on my character creation >_< but I've scrounged around probably about 30 houses and not found any. Figured someone would have left them on the bathroom sink, or bedside table, or even in their wardrobe (I keep my oldies/spares in my closet). But I've committed now to the playthrough and just to continue suffering in hopes to find some :( Just stinks to be "illiterate" and unable to forage.

Is it compatible with https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2459400130?

i think the best trait for myopia is that trait from the more trait mod that makes you find less items

been searching and havent seen a "missing an eye" trait, would be intresting to see.

The feature that myopic characters go illiterate without glasses is inaccurate. People with myopia cannot see clearly within distance, but are able to see detail close to their face.
A person with severe myopia here.

can u add that when the glasses break you can wear them but theres shattered lines on the screen wich is where the glasses broke

Hey Onkeen, I don't know if you still check comments or whatever, but I've been encountering this weird issue with both these traits where taking off the glasses produces this weird flickering effect on my screen. Not sure what's causing this, could be a conflict with another mod, but honestly I have no idea. Thought it was worth pointing out.

They should give slightly more points than the basic Short Sighted (+3 or 4), other than that great mod.

I love this mod so much. I am in agreement with some folks here that considering how impairing to game play it can be, there needs to be more trait reward points for people to be willing to take it, though. 4-5+

Just to be sure, this mod cannot be used on an existing file, does it?

why does myopia make me temporarily illiterate? im reading the book close to my face right?

Hello! I’m new to mod making and was wondering if I could potentially build off this mod in order to make “gas mask inserts” so players with these traits can still wear a full gas mask. Is this something you would allow?

I'd like to throw my hat in for some split-screen support if time and the code permits. I love this mod, but it stops working when split-screen begins. My wife and I play, and we have different computers, but sometimes she prefers to split-screen and we have two kids that like to jump in as well. I would actively help test any updates, if that would help any.

Epic...

is there a way to change the value of the traid points?

so I have the mod enabled, but I can't find the traits anywhere?

I agree with Abrasyve. I'm near-sighted and reading a book or looking for items near me is possible but may take a bit longer as I may strain my eyes a bit. Perhaps doing this can give your character some head pain?

Very clever!

Wow! <3

short sighted fella here

this is good mod

would also be interesting if there were several variations of glasses, and several strengths of Myopia / Hyperopia, a strength being randomly assigned on character creation, so you have to find the *right* set of glasses for you. maybe also have zombies spawn with glasses more often to make this search less of a pain

i like input from Abrasyve, reading speed or exp gain from reading should be reduced. also i would say all the glasses should just have the same name, as you would not be able to identify if the glasses are right for you until you try them on

hi, is there any way to fix co-op play, where if a 2nd player joins in split-screen with myopia while player 1 also has myopia, player 1 goes blind and the blurred play area instead turns full black?

same as the comment above, you should put that the trait gives you a little more points for the dificulty

muy pocos puntos para lo jodido que es cuando se te caen lo lentes

I am short-sighted and I can confirm that reading is possible. I mean it isn't the best experience since I would need to have my face about a hands length away to see it. Maybe a better way to do this would be to reduce reading speed by a bit? Also tripping when sprinting would be more likely.

Just what I was looking for! But I think you should still be able to read without glasses - if you're myopic, since it effects long distance - while foraging should be slower, but not impossible. Not sure if severity is adjustable, as I'm yet to test it, but if it isn't it would be much appreciated. I also agree that the points could do with balancing.

Really cool mod, but agree with the guy below that it might new a cost tweak. I could never see myself taking this versus other traits like high thirst or weak stomach for instance, as they not only give more points, but also have a much lower chance of biting you in the butt.

Might I suggest giving more points for both traits? Not in the since that I want more points lol they have a setting and mods for that. But in the since that without the right glasses, some settings making these pretty rare, the game becomes incredibly hard. Not complaining about how hard it is, love it. But feel the risk vs reward isn't really there. Hardly being able to see anything and only getting +2 points, just doesn't seem right. Wouldn't go too high, I'd say like 6-7 most. At least in my opinion lol Or maybe if possible add setting so people can customize the points themselves.. Idk not trying to tell you how to make your mod lol Just a little suggestion

Just wanted to say thanks for this mod!

Update 25/09/2022:
- Fix issue with duplicated traits upon new character creation
- Fix issues with server not recording properly the traits
- Fix issue where traits were lost on MP

@Improper_Sandwich I'm looking into ways to flag glasses as one type or an other. What you are proposing with "all glasses correct all impairment" could be a possible fallback but I'm not so fond of it, maybe as a side-mod? I need to look more into all this but it's time consuming and not sure I'll achieve a satisfiying result so I'll push the update-fixes first.

@UattO There was a desync between client and server (mainly the server was unaware of the traits) which led to some traits dropping off in MP. Next update will correct this. Keep me in touch if you still encounter some issue.

@Opos I still provide support for my mods in my free time, it’s just that between work and life you have to understand that it’s hard to find time for extensive debugging, especially for the 7 mods I maintain!
