Adding or updating mods might break the pack. Modpack authors try to make mods in their pack compatible with each other.Mods that add functionality to base game things are compatible but usually won't include the things from content mods.Mods that change the same base game files, such as combat overhaul mods, are usually incompatible.Many content mods - such as Weapon, Apparel, Faction or even Hair mods - are compatible with each other.Not all mods are compatible with each other: It is also very important to never delete the ThingCategories.xml file in your mod pack doing this will result in a black screen when trying to start the game up. This way, you will always be able to undo a mistake that may occur. In case your game stops running after you installed a mod, it's useful to have a backup of the mods folder somewhere.

Some mods require a fresh world generation to work.

For Steam users, the directory is typically: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\RimWorld.This might be useful in saving historical versions or for playing offline. If you want to install a Steam mod manually, can help. Once you find a mod you like that is compatible with the version of RimWorld you have, you can download them from their individual threads. The main source for finding mods is the mod release section on the forums. Look online and find a mod that you want to try out. You'll learn where to install your downloaded mods and how to activate them, along with some notes on compatibility and backups.
