The George Romero Riptide Mod was made in honor of George Romero, considered to be the "Father of Zombie Movies". This mod aims to replicate the behaviour of the Romero zombies, which means that zombies are mostly slow and can only be killed by destroying the brain. There are also other optional features included in this mod to satisfy the cravings of Dead Island players.

What is the George Romero Mod?
This is a mod named after the "father" of the zombie genre, George Romero. In modern times, there are all sorts of zombies, ranging from the the normal slow shambling types to the more imaginative hybrid zombie types that sometimes are powered by science and technology. The classic Romero zombie is the slow and typically dumb zombie whose only mission is to eat the nearest living flesh available. These Romero zombies don't care if their body parts get chopped off or whether they are headed towards the edge of a building. They will usually head straight towards their victim unless their path is blocked, and that's the only time they would either find another way around or just continue walking forward even though they can't make any progress. This mod aims to get as close as possible to Romero's vision of zombies within the limitations of Dead Island Riptide's design.

Hi, thanks for leaving a comment! Although all the mod features are now available as separate things that can be installed according to how the player wants the experience to be, I still included some pre-configured Data0.pak files. I think in the next version I'll go make more variations of the Data0.pak files for the easy one-shot installation style that we've been using before.
It's gonna take some time because the mod has gotten bigger with more features than before, but I'll go include as much as I can for the next iteration of the mod (which would hopefully be soon) :D
Oh yeah, I also made a No HUD Riptide Mod that you can use with the George Romero mods -> Moddb.com
Have fun!

For the XP mods, cutting off arms and legs are defaulted to 0. They have to be changed to 1.
ParamBool("arms_can_be_cut_off", 0) //-> Can't Cut Arms
ParamBool("legs_can_be_cut_off", 0) //-> Can't Cut Legs
ParamBool("arms_can_be_cut_off", 1) //-> Can Cut Arms
ParamBool("legs_can_be_cut_off", 1) //-> Can Cut Legs
Don't worry, setting up the mods at first might seem complicated, but it only looks so, once you get the hang of it, it'll be very easy (it's just about copying a .rar file and extracting it in a folder anyway).
For a quick game with pre-configured settings, just use the files found in 06-OptionalDataPakInstallation folder, it contains the Data0.pak files that you can put in the Dead Island Riptide\RI folder :D
