Ludeon Studios’ Rimworld is a colony simulator, where players build a sci-fi colony and manage the colonists, with unique AI-driven stories. Although Rimworld offers a wide and expansive content, the mod support further elevates the interest and excitement among players. Installing and using these mods allows players to tweak the gameplay settings and mechanics as they like.

Although Rimworld features numerous mods that elevate the gameplay, most of them become incompatible with the recently launched update 1.6 and the Odyssey DLC expansion. Here we have brought you 5 best mods that you can try and enjoy with Rimworld’s latest version.

Orion’s Hospitality is one of the classic and amazing mods for Rimworld. Originally developed by Orion, the mod allows players to interact with visitors in numerous ways, like hosting, entertaining, and recruiting them. In addition to inviting visitors to join your factions, you can also provide rooms, guest beds, and joyful activities for them.

This not only increases your faction relationships but also helps you complete daily chores effectively. Fortunately, the mod can be installed and used mid-game, removing the need for a fresh save. Zaljerem continues the Hospitality mod and optimizes it for the latest version. 

Allow Tool

Symbolic’s Allow Tool mod includes a set of tools that streamlines your colony’s workflow. You can perform actions like forbidding and unforbidding items, selecting similar things, and hauling things—effectively with a single click. Whether you are mining ores, harvesting ripe plants, hunting animals, or rearming traps, this mod makes your job quick and easy.

Fortunately, you can add the Allow Tool mod mid-game to your existing saves. However, note that you must also install the HugsLib library mod to use the Allow Tool mod.

Interaction Bubbles

You can read the in-game interactions between different characters via the social log. However, if you are annoyed or tired of checking the log, Jaxe’s Interaction Bubbles mod is your go-to choice. With this mod, the conversations between characters appear in the form of traditional interaction bubbles.

This makes it easy and immersive to follow social interactions, removing the need to check the log often. Additionally, you can click through the objects underneath the bubbles by hovering over the dialogues, which makes the bubbles fade. You can simply add or remove the mod to an existing save without any issue. 

Common Sense

If you’re frustrated by your pawns’ irrational behaviors, avil’s Common Sense mod is for you. The mod teaches some common sense (pun intended) to your pawns and makes them act rationally.

The Common Sense brings various new behaviors for the pawns, such as not stacking food with bad ingredients, cleaning rooms where they’re planning to eat, avoiding bad weather, and putting items into inventory if interrupted. You can add or remove Common Sense to your existing save. 

Dubs Bad Hygiene

While Rimworld provides expansive options for managing and monitoring your colonists, it lacks a hygiene system. If you thought about how Rimworld would be with a functional hygiene system, you should try out the Dubs Bad Hygiene mod by Dubwise.

The mod adds a functional hygiene system, including a sewage system, toilets, and bathing, emphasizing the importance of cleanliness. It also introduces hygiene-related needs and mood effects, irrigation, fertilizer, hot tubs, and kitchen sinks. The Dubs Bad Hygiene works effectively with existing saves.
