download latest release as .zip file (Windows)
or as .tar.gz file (Linux / Mac)

Only compatible with version Alpha12d of Rimworld.
Needs to be run in English.
Using additional mods is not recommended.

Installation Windows:

  1. Go to the folder you installed the game in. (gamefolder)
    Delete all mods inside your Mods folder except Core.

  2. Open up the downloaded ModPack .zip file. Open the ModVarietyPack-x.xx folder
    Extract everything in there to your gamefolder (2 folders (Mods + SaveData) and 2 files (readme + setup file)

  3. Run the Setup_ModVarietyPack file. This will create a new shortcut for you.

  4. To play with the modpack enabled, start the game with the new shortcut. Your savegames for the modpack will be in the new savedata folder. If you want to play vanilla RimWorld, start the game with the original .exe file. Your savegames for the vanilla game will be in C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\LocalLow\Ludeon Studios\RimWorld as usual.

  5. Exit the game and restart it.
    Unfortunately this is necessary after a change to the mod order. The game needs a restart for all mods to function correctly.

  6. Have fun

If (for whatever reason) the shortcut/script does not work for you, you can copy the modconfig.xml from the savedata folder to C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\LocalLow\Ludeon Studios\RimWorld\Config overriding the one that is there. Then just start the game with the original .exe file.

Installation Mac:

  1. Delete all mods inside your Mods folder except Core.
    You can find your Mods folder by right-clicking on your application - Show Package Contents.
    The Mods folder is in there.

  2. Delete the Saves, Worlds, and Config folders. (Warning: This deletes all your previous colonies!)
    You can find these folders here:
    /Users/[username]/library/Application Support/Rimworld

  3. Run the game once without any mods installed to make sure it is running properly, this will also generate a fresh Config folder.

  4. Open up the downloaded ModPack .zip file. You will see a Mods folder and a SavaData folder.
    Extract everything in the Mods folder to your own Mods folder.
    In the SaveData folder you can find a file named ModConfig.xml.
    Extract that to your Config folder found here:
    /Users/[username]/library/Application Support/Rimworld
    This will override the old ModsConfig file with the one needed to run this modpack.

  5. Exit the game and restart it.
    Unfortunately this is necessary after a change to the mod order. The game needs a restart for all mods to function correctly.

  6. Have fun
