- For the international version, see Modern Day.
Modern Day (摩登世界; pinyin: Modeng Shijie, translation: Modern World) is the 13th world in the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2, It is set in the present, more precisely a few moments before Crazy Dave eats his taco (and further begin his time travel journey), and features Dr. Zomboss trying to negate and alter history. The lawn is the same as the Player's House and the music is a combination of themes from the first game with instruments from every world. There are no features from Kongfu World or Sky City or any other Chinese-exclusive content.
This world is a mash-up of every time period encountered before (except for any Chinese-exclusive ones), the main environment modifier, portals, reflect that. Portals summon special zombies from any time period to the lawn. The tiles where portals appear and the zombies summoned are scripted and never change.
Exclusive to this version, Blooming Heart and Caulipower from the international version are world-obtained plants. Three zombies (in which one of them is a returning zombie from Plants vs. Zombies) are Digger Zombie, Riot Police Zombie and Solar Car Zombie are exclusive zombies in this version. Sunday Edition Zombie (an upgraded version of Newspaper Zombie from the international version) also appears in this version as well.
World Description[]
The end is also the beginning, now we are back to the starting point and fight with the modern age zombies. The timespace is getting more and more unstable, are you ready for it?
In Chinese: 结束亦是开始，回到最初的起点，和现代的僵尸们大干一场。时空正在变得极不稳定，你准备好了吗？
Difficulty[]
Modern Day in this version has its difficulty nerfed and become slightly easier when comparing to the international version despite having 3 additional zombies. Here is the list of many positive changes:
- Gargantuars are absent in normal levels. He can only be fought in Ultimate challenge and bosses.
- The number of levels has Brain buster is decreased. Regular levels appear more than they do in international version
- Zombies from another world can only appear via portal, mean that some level only have regular zombies in Modern day.(Day 4 and 5)
- Zombies from China's exclusive world are also absent. In some level, difficulty has been nerfed(Day 9 as an example).
However, keep in mind that hard mode still possess level-4 zombie, which is very tough and hard to beat. Bosses will only spawn these aforementioned zombie unlike international version. Therefore, it is still recommended to upgrade your plants to play hard mode.
Easiest level: Day 4
Hardest level: Day 25 ), Day 26 , Ultimate Challenge
