I see. I suppose he can just edit the database file directly. He can delete lines 320,921 through 320,947, and that should fix it, seeing as the Author has not been active an many months now.

@vita
If rinpys database has a rule that a modder has removed
Rimpys app will still think it's there months after the modder removes it till paladin updates this database

@qux, Each mod authors adds the dependency when they write the mod. You need to ask them to remove it, or just ignore it since all it does is cause a warning. It has no effect other than informational.

can you remove the dependency for Van's Retexture : Misc. Training
please

我该如何完全卸载rimpy这个应用程序

@Big Head Zach

You can manually find the mod in the json file and remove the dependency section, check the discord for more info.

What's the protocol for clearing the dependency cache? Got a few mods whose dependencies have changed and RimPy still complains those dependencies are missing (they're not).

@灵能猫猫

Are you subbed to over 1000 mods on steam? Even if they aren't enabled in your game, as long as you go over 1000 subs, it will do that. Rimpy doesn't count local mods towards the 1000, so you can convert some to local mods and then unsubscribe from them and it will work.

There's always gotta be someone like @boerge.s anywhere that involves a download. FFS.

It deletes my mods randomly when I change my modlist，I have to redownload the mod that rimpy said missing again and again,that is really exhausting.

this is a json file and nothing else
"refuses to show the code"
People opened the app and looked in it several times
closed sourcing it doesnt stop it

Don't use this. The companion software is really suspicious. And the author refuses to show the code.

We really need a public git of this so it can be updated.

For now I just keep a local copy that I try to update manually.

why i using RimPy change the mod it always get black screen when i finish launch?

it still doesnt specify how to use it, this isnt a crazy thing to say when all the other tutorials would use .xml files and load them in rimpy etc it was confusing

it was not clear that to use this mod you keep it unloaded and click sort in the rimpy tool, this isnt an insane thing to wonder, and vitakaninen replied to my question and it was done

@Wilihey Pretty sure that in the description, a mere scroll up from here. There, right beneath "Questions" is are two very simple sentences that, as a mod user, tells you everything you need to know about this specific mod. Two. Sentences. I KNOW those two sentences were there prior to 2025, because I myself questioned the purpose of this mod back in 2023.

Read people. It causes you absolutely no harm and only serves to better you understanding.

It's not a mod
You leave it inactive
You download the app listed in the desc
The app uses it
Not the game

i read it 3 times actually and researched online for about 2 hours and i had no definitive answer on how to actually use this mod, its just second nature knowledge that you're supposed to leave it there unactivated and not load it as an xml or whatever in rimpy

Guess reading the description is too hard for people. Smh

alright thank you, thats what i was doing but i wasnt sure if it was working

@Wilihey Yes. You just subscribe to it, and leave it inactive.

You would need to download the RimPy program and run that in order to sort your mods.

how the hell do i use the database? do i just leave it as an inactive mod and click sort in rimpy?
i've been searching online but i only find outdated tutorials

idk if rimpy caused this but the moment i try launching a game with 146 mods or more it crashes

why is the game only launching properly when i run it from rimpy? i get a black screen when i launch from other apps like Special K or even steam

thats cause
this mod isnt a mod for the game to read
its a json file for rimpy to read

that error always showed up if you loaded this thing

Mod RimPy Mod Manager Database did not load any content. Following load folders were used:

Getting this when i am not even using Rimpy at the moment. Rimpy feeling more like spyware in the last year

因为数据库长时间没有更新，存在一些问题，而且现在99%的mod排序规则都写在about.xml文件里，所以完全可以删除过旧的数据库和社区规则，方法：打开RimPy\database\db.json文件，删除所有内容，写入
{
"version": 27996795,
"database": {}
}
打开RimPy\database\communityRules.json文件，删除所有内容，写入
{}

Because the database has not been updated for a long time, there are some problems, and now 99% of the mod sorting rules are written in the about.xml file, so you can completely delete the old database and community rules. Method: Open the RimPy\database\db.json file, delete all contents, and write
{
"version": 27996795,
"database": {}
}
Open the RimPy\database\communityRules.json file, delete all contents, and write
{}

Good day, Ive been having issues. Apperantly Rimpy does not sort my list properly.
https://gist.github.com/HugsLibRecordKeeper/a57c0b026e46605704f34d6a4bf1d97d
I get from the mod maker to hear the order is not correct. from VFE.
Anything im doing wrong?

Not sure what the right place is to post this, but posting it hoping the right person will see it.
The dev for Realistic Rooms Rewritten commented on Beautiful Outdoors saying his mod was what was causing issues and RRR needs to be loaded before BO.
I tried to just add the sort rule for myself locally but it won't let me without a comment even if I don't share it and just save it, and it also won't let me write a comment in the comment section.
I'm guessing it's somehow protected in a way that also doesn't allow users to locally edit their loadlist, not sure why or how it works but just thought I would mention it in case someone who updates the sort list sees it.

What menu

how do you load that menu up

bro how do you import from rentry? it is not like pastebin. rimpy doesn't seem to recognize anything I can get from that site.

@EnderSlend thank you very much! I removed it and thankfully my save is okay.

@Hashlin I assume the files are only relevant to RimPy, removing it should be 100% fine... I'd back up your save just in case

So I accidentally enabled the database into my active mods? Will that mess anything up? Or can I safely remove it without breaking my game? The Rimpy app didn't tell me there were any errors when I did so inside it by accident

@Flurbel - You are not. Download it and keep it inactive.

Am I supposed to enable this mod or no?

oh thanks goodness he is alive <3

Thanks for all your hard work! This is easily the best RimWorld mod manager out there.

LOL @Lightfox exactly, could not have said it more succinctly

Tried using rimsort and it was like falling down a flight of stairs. Thanks for the great program.

I feel like Rimpy does it a little better than RimSort, I atleast have a more stable experience with a 500+ Modslist in Rimpy than in Rimsort, I run them both an parallel. Also RImsort does some weird things with local mods, when I update them naually RimsSort sometimes forgets they exist so yeah thats a thing as well.

RimPy still does a much better job sorting my 300+ active mods than I did in the past :D
@Paladin great job - thank you!

Lots of people still use rimpy

We've all switched to the other opensource mod manager anyway.

It will be, my friends. Give it some time.❤️❤️❤️

Sad to See that Rimpy Itself has not been Updated for 2 Years.

the base functions work
the version trackers wiki thing is broken
the rules are a bit outdated due to the database being outdated
reentry sometimes crashes dont know why

It still works for me

RimPy was written to handle most situations even outdated database and new game versions. I will rewrite Steam parser to rebuild database soon and test most functionality. Till that time you may try it yourself. Thx to all who support RimPy all that time!
