Made it work with Alternative Mod Loader [github.com].

Install it, start it.

Then resolve the missing dependencies in the orange "Missing dependencies" tab.

Next I disabled all non-WOTC mods that didnt explicitly say that they are WOTC compatible - were all just cosmetics. Just click on the "For WOTC" field (right most field) to sort it by "false".

Be aware that the Mod "One Million Colours Plugin For WOTC" requires "One Million Spark Colours". They probably work, but as I wasnt interested in them I disabled them both.

Lastly, go into the workshop and subscribe to the mod [WOTC] Alien Hunters Community Highlander if you have Alien Hunters DLC.

I started a new game and played the initial mission, without problems. Cant say anything about bugs later on.

maybe a link to video "the abc of modding wotc'?
all the comments are about that!
just saying.
anywho thx Mr Odd this is really fun

Should i play legend or i can play any difficulty ?

Hey, if anyone still cares about this modlist, the mod "Resistance Weapon Upgrades WotC" was causing guaranteed crashes if mod config menu was opened, it may also be the culprit of random crashes when in missions or when missions end.

Hey All

Had some of the same issues that a lot of people in this thread have been describing frequently an was able to solve them without fiddling with config files, but did require the AML.

1. Unsub your current mods.
2. Sub All to these mods
3. Close steam
4. Download the AML, get the latest version!
5. Start Steam
6. Launch AML
7. Select all the mods in the AML
8. In the AML you'll see WOTC True/False as a column, use this to get rid of all of the False ones
9. Now hit the missing dependencies button, there were about 8, use steam to go sub to what it missing, and add them in, some of these exist in this list as Non-WOTC mods, which is weird, but seems to work.
10. Once you have 0 missing dependencies, hit run, and the game should launch and run your mods.

Hope this helps anyone who was having troubles, my guess is that some of the mod updates have made this list a bit outdated.

I got the mods working by running the Alt Launcher (old launcher) and loading the mods I wanted and then running the new Launcher.

Was really excited to try and play with all of these mods but my game wont even launch and the alternate mod launched didnt fix it either,

Hi, is it possible to get the AML profile file for the modlist? Please and thank you

If y'all are having problems making mods work, try using the Alternative Mod Launcher- that fixed the problem for me so far as I can tell

none of these mods seem to be working and im really lost on how to even get one of them to work. Ive subscribed to the entire list and nothing is working.

Hate to bother you guys, but I searched and tried for about 4 hours yesterday morning(5-26-2020) to get mods to launch. I was playing WotC with the DCL that came from the steam collection. I only grabbed 6-7 UI mods from the workshop and enabled them, but they don't work. I made sure they were all WotC compatible. I noticed the launcher in steam changed the other day, is this the possible issue? I have tons of mods from the workshop for Darkest Dungeon and never had and issue. I read tons of threads yesterday and didn't seem to find an answer for this. Any help would be great. Now that I finally cleared the game the stop wasting my time mod is screaming at me lol.

When i try to load the mods, i have subscribed to them on the workshop, but nothing seems to be working in game. I have tried making a mod folder instide the XcomGame folder inside of the WOTC folder in my documents, but that didnt work either. I cant find anything to help.

@Nasty Mack the folder in question is in the My Documents folder. My Games\XCom 2\XComGame\Config.
Delete the whole config folder (it will bring everything, wiping the config files for every mod you have or deleted, sometimes old mods config files stick in there, so the configs override one each other and it messes with the game).
Dont worry tho, when you launch the game again it will create all the config files for all the mods all over again.

@Obi-Wan Tennobi Unless i need to remove all mods from the list do the config thing and get this list again?

Config wipe is just deleting the config file in my documents xcom 2 wotc am i correct

@Obi-Wan Tennobi i deleted the download file in workshop>download and was able to update all the mods. Now launching the game i get a crash with an error about "One Millions Colours plug in etc"

Will check for a config wipe i guess?

@Nasty Mack do a config wipe (delete all your pre-existing mod configs) and then get this modlist again. I played at least 3 times with this list, zero problems.

Just tried this collection. I clicked subscribe to all. I managed to play the game once. I didn't have all the advanced options as ChristopherOdd had in his videos.

I get often this error when launching the game "an error occurred while updating"

Also in my download window, i still have XCOM 2 updates "missing files" even if i clicked on it, does nothing, doesn't update.

Now i wonder if i should just subscribe to them all one by one... read if there's any conditions to enable them

*****TLDR Do play this collection do i need to just click subscribe to all or i should click on them one by one***********

I really want to play a fully modded game so i can get the most of it

i cant select camos or change colour of the armour on all of my soldiers.

I was really enjoying this and something updated. Now it's crashing every time I try to load a saved game.

Which one of these changes it so that instead of having to choose between three Guerilla Operations you just get one at a time?

The list is awesome. I did one playthrough on commander, which is too easy and the mods do not really Shine. But now I am on legend and here it is really great!! The Hive is brutal, Aliens (like biozerker) and Advent (ie Custodians) and MOCX are brutal. crashes are not more than I had on the PS4 with xcom 2 WOTC. The SPARK seems a bit overpowered and the MEC also. I also start to get used to the new classes, which are also really well done. the mod list makes a balanced and really challenging experience. Unfortunately all my soldiers die instead of bleeding out. Only at the last Mission the first bleed out occured.

While I'm here since I forgot to unsub from this thread, mods do update so sometimes what previously worked for the season mod list might no longer work together.

Not a helpful tidbit but still a tidbit none the less, so if the mod list doesn't work then tweak it until it does by removing mods and whatnot.

If you are having problem with crashes I recommend removing the World war L mod. Worked for me.

Seems to just be a user by user thing, the collection works for some players but has issues for others, it's not entirely consistent.

i crashed the first time (after clicking play from wotc launcher) with an error for overwatch all. The next time was for rocketlauncher mod error... I'm guessing this collection is no longer working? I do have all dlc btw...

My game is crashing straight after the launcher, is there anything I need to do before running the modpack as I only recently picked up the game. Thanks

Crashing on retaliation? Make sure you have all the DLC, this mod lists requires all of them and I've gotten crash reports from people using my Militia Overhaul + mod because they did not have all the DLC.

What fixed the crashing for me is reducing the graphics setting to high (instead of maximum)

Gingja did you figure out how to get your game back up and running with these mods when it would crash on the retalliation mission? Mine is constantly crashing there :/

My game has started crashing on the load in to a retaliation mission. I've tried lowering the graphics settings but nothing has helped :/

I'm doing a reinstall of the base game.

Yeah I'm crashing on the load to the first mission to. I stripped away some mods and then it works (sometimes) but then when I load into the next mission it crashes again. WHY.

yeah not only blacksite its every mission now both trying to start and finish missions and maybe 2-3 crashes before i can even do anything removed the tactical overhaul it was a fresh install no setting changes exact replica of Odds campaign yet perma crash WEIRD!

im getting a weird crash ? cannot finish the blacksite mission at all evac into instant crash ?

What mod shows the gear created from items while viewing the Black Market? I thought I had that mod from this list but it doesn't seem to be working and now I can't figure out what mod it is.

welp, i'm now having the same issue as Lipshawitz

Huh, that's strange, quite lucky with that first run then!

You don't need to purchase that dlc if you follow the instructions on the mod page.

NEVER MIND DEADPUT! I'm a bit dense. I was missing one DLC and the Resistance Warrior One was the one missing. Problem solved. Don't know how I finished a full playthrough before this though. Dumb luck I guess

I do have all DLC. I disabled tactical overhaul and it crashes less but still crashes when launching some Retaliations. I've noticed it will always crash when finishing a Retaliation mission if there are advent looking guys in the Resistance.

Well for completing elimination mod influence, besides full on installing things the other thing to do is clear the configs from your MyGames folder on windows

\Documents\My Games\XCOM2 War of the Chosen\XComGame\Config

I just read that moving your old saves out of C:\Users\mirag\Documents\My Games\XCOM2 War of the Chosen\XComGame\SaveData might also help but I don't know if that truly works or not.

That's all I know besides completely uninstalling the game.

thanks dead I completely understand. can you at least tell me where I can go do make sure I strip all the mods out?

With the current Odd season now being over I'm no longer going to be providing support in this specific mod list, my apologies.

If anyone has issues with this mod list, searching through this collections comment history might yield some answers.

Don't really know what to do, I only know general mod conflict problems but am otherwise not a reliable crash investigator.

If anything I've said in this comment section in the past helps you in any way then that's good.

This mod list seems to work for some people but not for others, it might be best to try another mod list or adjust this one.

i can post more of the string

this is the error i get

I did. and it does run fine but the second I install this mod pack I get the small window saying the game crashed with the yes or no to upload a log file

You should first try to see if the game runs normally on it's own before trying with mods.

dead I added you as a friend. So we can just chat. I decided to completely wipe and reinstall the game.

ok I am still crashing on load i will let it build the file... and post it here

I am trying that now I had to work a long shift. Sorry I was on my phone when I posted.
