Long War of the Chosen is a port of the Long War 2 mod to War of the Chosen. It's a full overhaul of the game at both the strategy and tactical level, making campaigns longer, more difficult, and more interesting. The gameplay will be very familiar to Long War 2 players, but with much of the WOTC content integrated. Gameplay tweaks; By paledbrook. Xcom 2 How To Install Mods Minecraft Always check the workshop descriptions for details on bugfixes and additional mods you might need to keep things working smoothly, and bear in mind that turning mods on and off in the middle of a playthrough can cause problems with the save, as you might expect.

Mod stability and compatibility

The vast majority of mods are made by amateur developers: many mods have not been thoroughly tested, and some may cause crashes or other stability issues.

Many mods are incompatible with each other. Enabling incompatible mods may cause the game to crash. If you plan to enable multiple mods at once, we recommend checking the mods' documentation for information about their compatibility with other mods.

Saved games and mods

It is possible to add mods to a saved game: you can enable mods and load a saved game made before those mods were enabled. However, we recommend enabling any mods you want to use before starting a new game, rather than adding them to an existing game.

It is not possible to remove mods from a saved game: if you save a game while using one or more mods, you must always have those mods enabled while playing that saved game. If you disable any of those mods, you will be unable to load the saved game.

Installing mods via the Steam Workshop

The easiest way to install mods is to subscribe to them via the Steam Workshop. Subscribing to a mod installs it automatically.
