Q: Is this mod complete?
A: Yes and no. Yes, everything we want to do works, and we've supported all the mods we set out to. No, we may still sporadically add support for new mods.

Q: Save game compatible?
A: Safe to add. Not safe to remove unless none of the animals touched by this mod are currently in caravan mode (loading, travelling, unloading).

Please note: some animals we support packs for have rather slow movement speed and will slow down your caravans. However, we wanted to extend options to players in difficult biomes with limited animals.

  • We are currently done with this mod, with no further planned content additions. We may still add some down the road.


  • The pack textures on some animals, including the Lynx, display incorrectly if you are not playing with Vanilla Textures Expanded. We strongly recommend but do not require this mod.
  • For best results, load this after any mod we support. Caravan Packs will automatically ask to be below any known conflicts, such as Barky's Caravan Dogs & Warg Pack.
  • We did not experience any errors regardless of load order with any other mod, including Giddy-Up. Do let us know in the comments if you experience any errors!
  • Visiting traders will not use any animals we've added support for unless designated to by another mod. We considered adding this, but due to the way trader caravans are spawned it never worked as intended.

Is this mod safe to use?

The mods are repacked as is, without any additional software, malware, or bloatware added. To check for viruses, use a reliable antivirus or upload the archive to a website like virustotal.com. Anyway, It's always a good practice to keep backups of your saves in case of mod incompatibility .

There is a folder in the .zip archive. To install the mod, move the entire folder (not just its contents) into 'Mods' folder located under your RimWorld root isntallation folder.
So, for steam version of the game, the path would look like this: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\RimWorld\Mods
For any other distribution, firstly locate your rimworld installation path and then unpack the archive into the 'Mods' folder.
Then enable the mod in the game mods menu by double clicking on its name and restart the game
