We all love a bit of personalization in our favorite games, right? The ability to insert yourself, or a highly altered version of yourself, via character creation and customization allows for a greater sense of purpose and connection with a playthrough. But does 7 Days to Die have character creation?
Can You Create a Character in 7 Days to Die?
When you start a new game in 7 Days to Die, you may find yourself overly excited. You just want to jump straight into the game world and start slaying zombies. But hold on just a moment! If you hit “Create” on the “Player Profiles” menu that appears after selecting “New Game” for the first time, then you can create a character.
But this menu doesn’t appear every time you select “New Game.” It’s only the first time you boot up the game. So, to create a new character at any time and delve into the character creation toolset in 7 Days to Die, from the main menu, select “Options” and then “Player Profile.” From here, navigate to the “Create” section once more and start working your way through a new character!

7 Days to Die Character Creation Explained
You have plenty of options regarding character creation in the game, including:
- Gender
- Skin Color
- Face Type
- Eye Type
- Hair Style
- Hair Color
- Facial Hair
It’s not the world’s largest selection of character creator options available, and you can’t tweak minute details, like in Fallout 4 or Starfield, but you can create a likable character. Let me tell you, these character models are significantly improved over the game’s original models, which were downright ugly.
However, keep in mind that you’ll spend your time in 7 Days to Die in first-person. You’ll never see your character beyond the inventory screen and character creation, though if you play in multiplayer, everyone else can see you.
