Delete %localappdata%Low\Ludeon Studios\Rimworld by Ludeon Studios\Config\ModsConfig.xml

Not sure what deleting the above does as I am a computer noob but I just changed my mod list by deleting a few and adding some and it works again. I guess it does the same as above potentially but hope this helps anyone else :)

It basically just resets the entire modlist to absolute vanilla

oh I didn't do that I just removed a few mods I didnt use and added some to change it around and it loads fine now, thank you though!

I wasn't able to resolve this issue for myself just deleting the config file, what fixed it for me was verifying the integrity of files. It redownloaded the entire game, but now it works modded.

This problem is an indication that your mod loadout isn't compatible with 1.4/biotech. pre update I smoothly played with 535 mods active and it took me the better part of a month the troubleshoot, debug and find patches for everything to run smoothly with a high framerate.

Since the update I've got 99 mods working properly and I'm probably not going to get 200 working in total until modders get more familiar with 1.4.

So my advice is threefold:
1. be less ambitious with what you want in terms of modding
2. give up and play only the vanilla game
3. if you're willing to spend some time loading 1 or 2 mods at a time, trying a dev quicktest and then taking note of what functions and what doesn't, you can download Rimpy mod manager and do the work of figuring out what's broken and what's useable.

go to the subscribed by you tab then press the minus next to the newest version(1.4)and now everymod thats not for the newest version is wont be displayed

I wish that these fixes worked when you play purely vanilla.

Having the game work, but no map shows up at all. Then after a while the pawns die off.

So it's nothing to do with mods.
