Vehicle Seat UI (KI5) - Improved Vehicle Seat Interface for Project Zomboid B42

Vehicle Seat UI (KI5) is a small visual improvement for Project Zomboid Build 42 that makes the passenger seat interface of KI5 vehicles look more consistent with the vanilla game.

KI5's vehicle collection introduces numerous detailed cars, trucks and other transport options. However, their seat selection interface may lack the corresponding vehicle-specific illustrations.

This modification adds those images, providing a more recognizable and immersive interface when switching between seats.

Main Features

The addon focuses on improving the appearance of vehicle seat selection.

• Vehicle-specific illustrations - Adds appropriate images to the seat interface of KI5 cars.
• Improved visual consistency - Makes modded vehicles feel more integrated with the standard Project Zomboid interface.
• Broad KI5 support - Covers all KI5 vehicles available for Build 42.
• Lightweight interface improvement - Focuses on the seat UI rather than introducing additional vehicle mechanics.

Although the change is relatively small, it is particularly noticeable in heavily modded playthroughs featuring numerous KI5 vehicles.

How Does It Work?

When opening the vehicle seat selection interface, the game displays an illustration associated with the corresponding KI5 vehicle.

This helps make the menu more visually consistent with the standard vehicle interface.

The modification is intended as a visual enhancement, not a complete overhaul of vehicle handling, passenger capacity or driving physics.

Requirements and Installation

The Workshop item lists that DAMN Library as a required dependency.

You also need the KI5 vehicle modifications whose interface you want to improve.

Recommended Load Order

Vehicle Seat UI (KI5) must be loaded after KI5 vehicle mods.

For example:

1. Required libraries.
2. KI5 vehicle modifications.
3. Vehicle Seat UI (KI5).

Following this order allows the interface changes to apply to the supported vehicles.

Compatibility

Vehicle Seat UI (KI5) is a simple quality-of-life addition for players who want a cleaner, more consistent vehicle interface. By adding recognizable illustrations to KI5 seat menus, it helps custom vehicles feel like a natural part of Project Zomboid.
