Description
My essential mods list for RimWorld v1.1/v1.2 that creates an amazing experience while maintaining it close to vanilla. Note that this is made mostly for me to keep track of the mods I love :)

This list DOES NOT contain (and WILL NEVER contain) mods that employs any kind of user tracking capability (such as those that "ping a server")

Load order:

Load Harmony BEFORE core.
Load HugsLib immediately AFTER core.
The rest have no particular order, but load Ry HD Pawn Textures BEFORE Vanilla Textures Expanded.
