It took longer than I meant it to, but Cottage World 1.3.0 is finally out. The pack is updated and much more optimized.
Cottage World is still the large, wandering pack it has always been, complete with more than 240 mods and a suspicious amount of furniture. It should just be less determined to fight your computer now.
I have also started something new: a smaller, more focused pack with no Create this time. It is not ready for a name here yet.
