RimWorld: 8 Mods That Increase Load Times

RimWorld is a complex and highly customizable game, and as such, it can be susceptible to performance issues. Mods can be a major contributor to these issues, especially if they are not properly optimized. The following mods are known to significantly increase load times:

1. Dub's Bad Hygiene
   This mod adds a lot of new content to the game, including a new hygiene system, new diseases, and new items. It can also be very performance-intensive, especially on larger maps.

2. Realistic Rooms
   This mod adds a new system for room quality, which can be very performance-intensive on large maps. It can also cause problems with other mods that add new room types.

3. Combat Extended
   This mod completely overhauls the combat system in RimWorld, adding new weapons, armor, and mechanics. It can be very performance-intensive, especially on large maps with lots of enemies.

   

4. RimWorld of Magic
   This mod adds a new magic system to the game, complete with new spells, rituals, and artifacts. It can be very performance-intensive, especially on large maps with lots of magic users.

5. Vanilla Expanded: Furniture
   This mod adds a lot of new furniture to the game, which can increase load times, especially on larger maps with lots of buildings.

6. Vanilla Expanded: Props
   This mod adds a lot of new props to the game, which can increase load times, especially on larger maps with lots of objects.

7. Vanilla Expanded: Plants
   This mod adds a lot of new plants to the game, which can increase load times, especially on larger maps with lots of vegetation.

   

8. Vanilla Expanded: Animals
   This mod adds a lot of new animals to the game, which can increase load times, especially on larger maps with lots of animals.

Tips for Reducing Load Times

If you are experiencing long load times, there are a few things you can do to try to reduce them:

• Disable unnecessary mods. The more mods you have enabled, the longer your load times will be. If you are not using a mod, disable it.
• Reduce the number of pawns. Pawns are one of the most performance-intensive aspects of the game. If you have a large colony, try reducing the number of pawns you have.
• Reduce the map size. Larger maps are more performance-intensive than smaller maps. If you are experiencing long load times, try reducing the map size.
• Use performance-enhancing mods. There are a number of mods available that can help to improve performance. Some of these mods include Performance Optimizer, Dub's Performance Analyzer, and RocketMan.

Conclusion

If you are experiencing long load times in RimWorld, it is likely that one or more of your mods is the culprit. By disabling unnecessary mods, reducing the number of pawns, and using performance-enhancing mods, you can significantly reduce your load times and improve your overall game performance.
