Hi, can you suggest me good mods for Xcom EU CP?

The Long War is famous, but I hope that it won't make the game frustrating (too difficult, too long).
There are also a bunch of secondary mods for it (LW Rebalance, LW Enhanced Realism and Tactics, etc).
Has anyone tried these?

And what about other mods?

Try Long War it has settings to make it shorter.

Simple fact is the vast majority of mods are not made for EU

I'm still downloading this so my info is based on the Steam Complete Edition, which I assume is the same

EU = Enemy Unknown (Original Game)
EW = Enemy Within = EU + All DLC (Actually a Stand alone game despite requiring EU to play it before Complete edition released).

LW = Long War = EW +LW Mod

Not many mods foe EU, more for EW which is Feraxis' Complete edition.
However the vast majority of mods are made for LW, not the Feraxis game.

So don't be put off by the LW Very hard and long rep.
It adds an immense load of depth to the base game, and their are many mods that tweak it to be shorter, and easier.
I never played the base game, before LW, and found it extremely limited in comparison.

I actually have never found LW too long, or too hard, so have never used those mods.
I have used many of the Quality of Life mods though .

Long War was only beaten by the Witcher 3 as my GOTY for 2015, it's that good.

Oh god, I expected like 5, not 40 (+_+)
With too many mods, the chance of incompatibilities skyrockets..
I'll check some of these though.
Thanks

Pao, as long as a mod says its for LW 1.0 or any of the LW EW Betas, it "should" work.

Could you slap this mod manager + mods in a zip and upload it somewhere?

There all on NexusMods XCOM Section, and many more than what I used

XCOM Enemy Unknown Nexus - mods and community

My old Steam setup isn't working currently, and I haven't figured out exactly why.
Probably the bane of all Steam game modding forced updates, breaking the game.
I can't get the Manager to install the mods, and I'm not planning a playthrough yet, busy playing/modding other games.
So no point providing a non working selection

XCOM EW was never intended to be modded, and the mods are basically text files that instruct a tool called
PatcherGUI part of UPKUtils at XCOM Enemy Unknown Nexus - mods and community

Long War Mod Manager at XCOM Enemy Unknown Nexus - mods and community

While PatcherGUI is a very good one by one mod installer, and can always be relied on, LWMM automates the process, and workred fine for me when I last modded the game.
One or the other will make gameplay modding much easier than the hex editing of the exe needed to create mods initially.

It's not the easiest game to mod, but worth the extra effort

Yeah, any time you're dealing with mods for XCOM 1, you need to keep in mind it is _not_ mod-friendly by any means; that was one of the big changes between it and XCOM 2.

Right now, im running Long War with LW Rebalance on normal difficulty.

I have over 300 hours on Steam with XCOM EU/EW but never had the guts to start a Long War campaign. :)

As it is the first time im playing LW i turned on the second wave option: cinematic mode. So far it feels too easy, but it might change further down the road, as the LW Rebalance Mod Author states it makes the starting game easier but mid/late game harder. However, i think i might start a new campaign without cinematic mode.

LW Rebalance has some other mods allready integrated and so far everything runs smooth without problems.

One of the complaints a lot of people have about XCOM:EU (and maybe even more EW) is that it starts comparatively hard, but gets easier over time as you accumulate special abilities and tech. That mod is supposed to invert that so the end game stops being kind of the cruise-control thing it can sometimes be.

Hi,

Just to be sure, the mods from the Nexus, and specifically the LW mod, works fine with the GOG version?

Personally I use LW Rebalance, which adds a lot of the mods mentioned above to LW. It's still in active development though, and significant things seem to get tweaked between versions, so it may be best to either ignore new versions or deal with those changes if you update while a campaign is in progress (or restart every new version).

If you don't use LW Rebalance, I'd suggest to definitely get Squadron Unleased (for LW) - this allows sending up multiple fighters against UFOs (instead of just one at a time), which makes the air game MUCH better. Your pilots also attain ranks (which level up as they gain kills), allowing even more planes per squadron (starts at two per squadron, can get up to 5 I believe).

NexusMods appears to require payment to access the downloads. Is this correct?

not correct. all mods are free, all that's required is to setup a free acount. I've been using the site for years and have never been charged for anything.
