SimWorld

A RimWorld mod that adds Sims-like skills and lays groundwork for deeper life-sim features.

• Game: RimWorld 1.6
• Dependency: Harmony (Steam Workshop ID 2009463077)

Build

Requirements:

• .NET SDK (7 or newer recommended). On Windows, Visual Studio 2022 with .NET Framework 4.7.2 targeting pack helps.
• RimWorld installed (the project references game assemblies relative to the game directory).

Steps:

• From the Source folder, run build.bat (Windows), or run:
  • dotnet build SimWorld.csproj -c Release
• The compiled DLL outputs to ../Assemblies/SimWorld.dll (relative to Source). RimWorld loads it from the mod's Assemblies folder.

Folder Structure

• About/ — Mod metadata (About.xml).
• Defs/, Patches/, Textures/, Languages/ — XML defs, patches, assets, and translations.
• Source/ — C# project targeting net472.
• Assemblies/ — Build output (SimWorld.dll).

Notes

• Ensure Harmony is installed/enabled. The project checks for 0Harmony.dll under the Harmony workshop or a local Mods/Harmony/Assemblies path.
• The project references RimWorld and Unity assemblies from the game install; keep the mod folder inside the RimWorld Mods/ directory.
