10 hours in—any must-have mods? Also, my villagers literally just freeze and die during fires lol

Hey everyone, I’m about 10 hours into Banished and loving it so far. Are there any fun mods you guys would recommend to add more content or spice things up?

Also, I’m running into a super weird bug. Whenever a house catches fire, my villagers just stand there completely frozen. The game keeps running normally and time passes, but they just stay stuck in place until they eventually die. It’s like they’ve completely given up on life lmao.

Has anyone else dealt with this? Is it a known vanilla bug?. Any fixes would be appreciated. Thanks!

Laborer idling issue

2 Upvotes

I've been using a mod called RK Editor's Choice 1.3.1 - Full. However, laborers are just permanently idling. Their health and happiness is max, there's resources set up for them to gather, and space in stockpiles to store them. I've tried various resources, cycling who's laborer, clearing resource requests and adding back but nothing seems to work. Does anyone happen to know of a solution to this?
