Required
- State of Decay 2 Mod Manager
- Hades Mod Menu by Lucifer You don’t need to download every menu from the optionals. Take just the ones you need.
- Enable Developper Console y Lucifer
- ReShade with Addon Support (NOTHING ELSE!)
- ShaderToggler from Frans Bouma
Installation
ReShade
After you have downloaded reshade, start the installer and follow the installation steps.
Once this is done, extract ShaderToggler in the same folder as ReSahde along the game exe. It should be something like steamapps\common\StateOfDecay2\StateOfDecay2\Binaries\Win64
. This is how it should look.

Download this file file and place it in the same folder as the game exe.
Mods
First thing is to extract the Mod Manager in a folder or somewhere safe as it will be used to add and inegrate mods to the game.
With that done, and the mods downloaded, start ModIntegrator.exe
. Once the Mod Manager is loaded, click on Add Mod
. From the window that open, select the mods you need.
You should end up with something like this.

Green means that the mod(s) need to be integrated. This is the case for the dev console. Click on Create Integration Pak
.
You are done with the mods installation.

Hades Mod Menu
This mod will let you by example change the time of day, add fog, change character appearence etc. What I recommend is to only download the menus you need. Some have more features available than the default ones (top bar).

The World Menu, will let you change the time of day. A value around 1200 and 1300 will give you midday. to change from day to night, simply click on the DAY
box.
Be carefull changing the world gravity as it will impact your jump ability. The Global Time Speed
is your Slomo
command. So, if you need to take an action shot, I recommend usig this.

The Zombie Menu will allow you to spawn multitude of different zombie types. Just choose from the list and press Spawn Zombie
. You can also change the spawn position.
