Project Zomboid VHS stores and tapes: Locations and how to use VHS tapes
The Project Zomboid VHS stores and tapes allow players to level up their key survival and crafting skills, allowing you to become more effective at surviving the horrors of the zombie apocalypse.
Project Zomboid is a hardcore survival RPG set during a zombie outbreak, and gives players plenty of useful skills to level up. While you can level skills by performing certain actions, another great way of earning XP is watching specific VHS tapes that relate to certain skills.
So, if you're looking to find out how the tapes work and where to find the VHS stores in Project Zomboid, we've got you covered.

Project Zomboid VHS Tapes: What Are VHS Tapes For?
Click to enlargeIn Project Zomboid, watching television shows can improve your characters' mood and give them levels in various skills that are imperative to survival.
To start with, you can access these shows via a TV and the Life and Living TV channel, but only for the first eight days of in-game time. After the channel goes off-air, you will need to find the VHS tapes instead, which perform the same role - rewarding you with skill levels.
There are many tapes in the game, and they can be littered across the in-game world, either in random buildings or the VHS stores.
To use a tape, find a TV somewhere and then click it, but instead of messing with the channel settings, drag the tape into the TV, and it will begin playing.
