Steam Workshop::X-Com Recommended Mods (In my opinion)

A collection of mods which i feel enhance the X-com experience while staying as close as possible to the original game, providing a believable realistic gameplay experience. The majority of these mods are lore-friendly and aim to enhance the experience as opposed to dumbing it down.

Not all mods have to be used together and can be selected out of the collection or used by sub to all if you want them all.

Have a go and enjoy.

All modders who are featured respect to them :)

Will be updated over time as more mods are released that I feel should be added to the collection :P

WARNING: Please note that due to the way in which Xcom behaves, once a mod is enabled and a savegame is made with said mod then it becomes mandatory to keep said mod enabled should you wish to continue your campaign. So make sure that you backup your saves in case you don't like a particular one or want to test.

EDIT: There is now a mod within this collection which attempts to bypass this should a save be affected.

NEW: - To see what mods I currently use in my list have a look at my new collection here - http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=662448789
