WOTC International Character Pool

Description
UPDATE 2024:
Fixed Typos and Gear

Check new required versions of mods, please.
_______
WARNING:

It seems the mod not showing on the Import tab. Not sure why. Must've been something recent. I would suggest checking the mod download location Steam - SteamApps - Workshop - Content - 268500 - 1797353035 and copy the esp to the Character Pool folder. I know it is not optimal and sorry for inconvenience.

This mod adds a CharPool named WOTC International Final.bin, including 35 new operatives, spanned across all types:

Contents

- 19 soldiers
- 5 VIP
- 5 Dark VIP (Check pics for a couple of them in action. Find them in the character pool with names - Domenico Corvi/Ruben Muller)
- 2 Templars
- 2 Reapers
- 2 Skirmishers

ABOUT THE PICS: You can see in some of the pics the custom DARK VIPS in action working for MOCX

(NOTE: Please, check Creation Version for compatibility details.)

Multiple nationalities and each of them have their own detailed Biographies and customization.

Lore Friendliness

Certainly. Some have a bit of mystery others more light hearted, but I didn't go for the heroic thing. Aimed for some ground in reality. To me, ADVENT are a worldwide totalitarian regime and my inspiration went toward that. Tried bringing some dynamic to the relations between the aliens and humans, instead of straight up fighting.
I also think soldiers, in (such) “reality”, are not always picked randomly or singular. They come in groups, so you will see some relations between characters.

At the very least, I hope you enjoy playing them as much as I enjoyed making them. Bringing some history to your Long Wars for example. I also thought of the MOCX Initiative mod, so you might see some references there. I do like to think Humans can, for whatever reason, ally with the aliens. It just makes sense.
Either way, its fun to world build sometimes.

Creation Version

Test update - (My other mod) [Character Pool] Vanilla International works with WOTC and MOCX Initiative Mod.

They were made with WOTC in mind and with WOTC versions of the aesthetic mods. They should work with Vanilla of course, after all, they characters. However, if there are no aesthetic Vanilla versions, you will not see them as intended. Same goes if you don’t have the WOTC mods installed.

Of course, these mods are not necessary, but they do bring the characters to even more life. Everything was personally selected. Besides, I’m sure most have at least half of these mods. The biographies remain, so there’s no problem. Try it out on vanilla if you wish. (At your own risk of course.)

NOTE: If XCOM doesn't generate substitutes for any of the mods you don't have, you'll have to customize some Torso and Arms.

For aesthetic purposes, some mods were involved in many characters, some more heavily than others, so you might need these to have them look exactly as the pics. They were necessary to bring more “legitimacy” to the soldiers, instead of just bland XCOM armor:

Ah no wonder, I'm using AML instead of the original launcher. Will report back if things work again on my end.

@LA MUERTE tried the other method? I know it is not optimal. However, I used the original Mod Launcher, ticked the mod and then clicked Play, and it worked. Try that if you didn't. Otherwise I have no idea, and I can only apologize for the inconvenience.

Unsubscribed and resubscribed. Nothing on my end.
iggy1eco  [author] 12 Dec, 2024 @ 2:28pm 
@LA MUERTE it is supposed to, yes. Otherwise you can check the mod download location and copy the esp to the Character Pool folder. I just checked and it worked. But First, try unsubscribing and subscribe to the mod once more.

Hey question. Does the character pool appear on the import tab? I clicked "Import Character" and none of the characters here have ever showed up. Just Developers.
iggy1eco  [author] 11 Nov, 2024 @ 6:27am 
@LA MUERTE Yes, will look into it. I also talked with him about it :) I've just been working at one thing at a time. Thanks for the sugestion

Hey, since you updated this, could the Capnbubs Accessories be changed to Max's version? That one reduces filesize immensely.

Regarding another batch: I know of no other "grounded" character pool for WOTC. Which is sad, as I like these "realistic" characters. And customizing myself... I'm not that good at it.

I did a quite faithful version of Annette Durand though. I think. 😂

@rene.ganke Thank you for feedback. I prefer more grounded characters and hoped to bring that but with flair. Considering to bring another batch but not sure how starved for content is the community after all these years. I've been away myelf.

Thank you for your work of nice soldiers who aren't over-sexualized.
