Description
Please bring any technical issues to my Discord:
https://discord.gg/fkreDYG
This allows us to look at technical logs, give clear instructions on fixes, and link to relevant other mods/files!

1: Graphics & UI Upgrade Pack
This is a collection of only GRAPHICS mods with NO new mechanics or content that you can't recreate in the base game.
Recommended that you pick and choose for your own use!

Highly recommended that you do not use the majority of these mods on a laptop/lower-end system, lots of texture mods which can consume a massive amount of memory!

I have included various prerequisite mods (such as Harmony and VE: Framework) only for the graphics mods that need them, nothing mechanical is added by these.



2: Load Orders

Pick ONE of EITHER the RimPy load order, or the Rimworld built-in default mod manager load order!

RimPy Load Order (highly HIGHLY recommended!):
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ykqSxtZ6ReWBDwYT98W3Qff1Kmyfz87x/view?usp=drive_link

Rimworld built-in default mod manager Load Order:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1f5xjRUNDZwkQ7mfM_MKFVkZQhDorYD-f/view?usp=drive_link
(Place in AppData\LocalLow\Ludeon Studios\RimWorld by Ludeon Studios\ModLists)

Please note, the above load orders assume you're also running the "Bare Essentials Pack" available here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3146453018



3: Installation Guide

For any new complex mod pack you should FULLY reset Rimworld, and all related files, to ensure no old, outdated, or incompatible mods are left behind. Reinstalling Rimworld or unsubscribing from mods WILL NOT fully reset your reinstallation and old files can still persist!

Folders that should be reset fully before beginning a new modpack:

Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\RimWorld\Mods (Manually installed mods folder)
Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\294100 (Steam mod download folder)
AppData\LocalLow\Ludeon Studios\RimWorld by Ludeon Studios (Your user configurations, saves, etc)

RimPy:

1. Follow the above steps to clean your installation
2. Subscribe to all with the button above
3. Open RimPy
4. Press "Sort"
5. Press "Save"
6. Press "Run"

I would highly recommend optimising textures too!
