Detailed Vanilla Models - Part 8: Smoking improves the appearance of cigarettes, cigars, lighters and related accessories in Project Zomboid. The collection replaces simplified shapes with more detailed 3D models, making small objects look more natural when held or placed on the ground.
The addon covers 16 existing visual models while preserving their original textures, labels and gameplay properties.
What's Included?
The eighth installment focuses on four groups of items.
| Category | Models | Included Items |
|---|---|---|
| Cigarettes | 5 | Handheld cigarette, lit and unlit ground versions, rolled cigarettes |
| Cigars | 4 | Cigars and cigarillos, lit and unlit |
| Packaging | 4 | Cigarette pack, carton, cigar box and matchbox |
| Lighters | 3 | Zippo in hand and on the ground, disposable lighter |
| Total | 16 |
Cigarettes and Cigars
The updated geometry gives tobacco products more rounded bodies instead of the visibly angular surfaces found in some original models.
Different states retain their distinct appearances:
- Cigarettes held by the character.
- Lit and unlit cigarettes on the ground.
- Rolled cigarettes in both states.
- Cigars and cigarillos before and after lighting.
The changes improve their physical representation without adding new smoking mechanics.
Packaging and Lighters
Cigarette packs, cartons, cigar boxes and matchboxes receive smoother edges and more refined shapes.
Both Zippo and disposable lighters are included. The Zippo has separate representations for being held and placed on the ground.
Original branding, textures and recognizable colors remain unchanged.
Optional Vanilla Models
Players can decide which equipment groups use the new appearance.
Open:
Options > Mods
Each category provides a Use Vanilla Model option.
You can keep the standard cigarette models while enabling redesigned lighters and packaging, or choose another combination.
Restart the game after changing these settings.
Project Viewpoint and Item Positioning
The pack was designed with Project Viewpoint in mind.
First-person gameplay places handheld objects much closer to the camera, making improvements to their geometry easier to notice.
However, Project Viewpoint is not required. The models also work in the classic isometric perspective.
Original hand positions and attachment points are preserved, so items remain positioned as before.
