Steam Community :: Advanced Career Start

Can confirm the following work around from Dalinar917 works for this mod.

The best work around is to enable it for a fresh career start. Pick or customize the career you want to start. Once in the Leopard save your game, quit, disable the mod and restart your game. When you load in everything should work properly.

This mod crashes my game during mission screen.

Came here to increase comment count so the author can notice and probly fix like 1 line of code due to the new DLC.

For now until (or if) this mod is updated. The best work around is to enable it for a fresh career start. Pick or customize the career you want to start. Once in the Leopard save your game, then disable the mod and restart your game. That's what I did and it worked, I have a custom career started at 3048.

Thank you first. This mod needs an update.
I've noticed that after the DLC"Shadow of Kerensky" update, this mod causes to crash when entering the mission preparation screen after accepted the contract.
But it has no problem in "Instant Action" mode.

Hello, this mod seems to need an update. With it on the new dlc start is not available and i am having crashes. With mode disabled no crashes.

Ritter 4 Sep @ 12:26pm

Hello!
It is good to use with last DLC?

mrw 10 Jul @ 12:27am

For some reason mechs that shouldn't be invented yet for centuries are available when I pick early start years. I tested with 2000, 2500, 2900, and mechs which shouldn't exist yet are in the mech markets and I even start with some.

stop99 17 May @ 2:08pm

any one has an idea on how to use this mod to force a starting lance?
I have see some video off it done to for example have a starting lance consisting off only a legendary mech variant for all 4 mech

"A little more"

Would be cool to have a guaranteed X2 medium and X2 light mechs option.

antipothis 7 Nov, 2024 @ 5:18pm

It requires Inner Sphere because that DLC adds the custom career campaigns. This mod just adds more options to the campaign that DLC adds.

BYKmatty 23 Oct, 2024 @ 10:48am

WHY DOES IT REQUIRE THE IMechWarrior 5: Mercenaries - Heroes of the Inner Sphere DLC TO RUN?

phfor 14 Sep, 2024 @ 7:41pm

Winterbloom - yeah that's an annoying limitation in the game engine. Import will always put you at 3015 start.

Winterbloom [✚] 21 Jun, 2024 @ 5:15am

most annoying bug i could find, if you import and old career, it doesnt change the start date you select, and it forces you to start in house davion every time if you import. even if thats not where the imported save is from.

Blackforestguy 13 May, 2024 @ 7:36am

Would be nice if there could be a Option to start with Medium Mechs. The Option "A Bit More" gets strange results like 2 Assaults and 2 Locusts

R4v3n-45 7 Apr, 2024 @ 11:34am

deleted message since you have to actually pick the "Custom Career Start" option for the mod to work (didn't pay attention when I made one)

1inchGrinch 27 Mar, 2024 @ 3:13pm

@ahedgcoth you can check the patch notes on the right side of the mod page under the date where it was published and updated

ahedgcoth 16 Mar, 2024 @ 9:38am

not sure how to do that but thanks for letting me know

KharnTheKhan 16 Mar, 2024 @ 3:22am

@ahedgcoth read patch notes, It was updated to dlc6

ahedgcoth 15 Mar, 2024 @ 5:23pm

I hope this mod gets updated for DLC6

jg9142 14 Mar, 2024 @ 11:13am

Since the latest DLC update. You can turn on this MoD to start the game. Once you're in, make a save game. Go out turn off MoD, restart game. Works fine then.

Ketchup_Stain 13 Mar, 2024 @ 6:31pm

I don't know if it's been reported but the mod causes a crash when entering the deployment screen prior to mission start since the new update. Took me a while to isolate this because I didn't think the mod had any effect on an existing save game.

Ciaran Zagami 9 Mar, 2024 @ 10:09am

Is there any way to set it up so I don't have to start with a junky mech that does no damage like a locust or a vulcan? I'm sick to death of going on my first mission and watching my teammates try to face tank a hunch back in their locusts.

Holycannoli 7 Mar, 2024 @ 9:10am

Does this add any starting faction options such as Perifery states? I.E. the Marians or Canopus?

SirFallsDownALot [author] 30 Dec, 2023 @ 11:45pm

this mod does not change anything about the game itself, just the career start. So, no, mech spawns are not modified.

Easy AI 30 Dec, 2023 @ 11:02am

Does this mod stop spawns of later year mechs from other mods?

Silver Wolf 15 Nov, 2023 @ 10:01pm

problems with install. Menu indicates it is installed yet it doesn't function. Menu shows its load order as 0. Other mods listed as active seem to be functioning properly. Any ideas?

YxSleepyheadxY 28 Sep, 2023 @ 5:39am

Thanx alot for the extremely fast update to DLC5.

SirFallsDownALot [author] 25 Sep, 2023 @ 9:31pm

Does not disable anything.

Lupercal-16; Hivebane 24 Sep, 2023 @ 6:33pm

Does this disable campaigns and faction missions?

√t0rk 8 Aug, 2023 @ 5:51am

Thanks for the tip. 👍

SirFallsDownALot [author] 8 Aug, 2023 @ 2:44am

create your new career with this mod, then save and deactivate it since its not required anymore then. Even though the conflict with PO should not be an issue this is always a valid approach.

√t0rk 3 Aug, 2023 @ 5:52am

Conflicts with Pilot Overhaul mod. ☹️

Tirith Amar 21 Jul, 2023 @ 7:19am

Thank you very much that was what i meant. what moogly said is true, a coop buddy still outperforms them, here is how i would phrase it:
lt are braindead
Captains are terrible
and majors are somewhat competent, but they still dont understand what it means to spam attacks
wasnt at home for a while.

SirFallsDownALot [author] 16 Jul, 2023 @ 12:48am

New version allowed to set ai level. That is what major means: highest ai level. Nothing else.

GreatGooglyMoogly 7 Jul, 2023 @ 5:00pm

https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2834500688 : reference

I've only had 1 Major like ever in any of my playthroughs and that dude was as good as my buddy in Co-op

SirFallsDownALot [author] 6 Jul, 2023 @ 2:29am

oh, i see. tbh I dont even know what those tiers do. I guess I could set them but does that really change the AI behaviour?

GreatGooglyMoogly 4 Jul, 2023 @ 3:20am

No I think they meant that, since AI pilots come in 3 tiers (LT, CAPT, and Majors) they want their companions to be majors.

SirFallsDownALot [author] 2 Jul, 2023 @ 9:40pm

Do you mean all should be level 10 at the start?

Tirith Amar 27 Jun, 2023 @ 12:58am

Could you add the option to have all the starting pilots be Majors?

Mr_Tea_Rexx 10 May, 2023 @ 9:56am

@Hit by a Parked Car - if your playing the Free Rasalhague Republic you have to set the year to 3035 as all the other factions start 3015

Mr_Tea_Rexx 10 May, 2023 @ 9:49am

Just want to say thank you for this great addition, is it possible to have the Default Faction Logos?

Theorden 27 Apr, 2023 @ 6:01am

So this won't work with the campaign?

Fuhrer_51[RUS] 17 Apr, 2023 @ 4:20pm

Just start a new career (not a campaign) and you will be able to choose custom start settings, in addition to ready-made presets. ¯\_('—')_/¯
Also note that the mod requires you to have the Heroes of the Inner Sphere DLC (just in case).

natewarrior 17 Apr, 2023 @ 4:10pm

next question how do i use this mod

Fuhrer_51[RUS] 16 Apr, 2023 @ 1:24pm

All mods are activated in the corresponding section of the main menu of the game. Or using the Load Order Manager [nexusmods.com].

natewarrior 16 Apr, 2023 @ 12:40pm

how do i activate the mod

SirFallsDownALot [author] 29 Mar, 2023 @ 12:13am

indeed, importing a save will overwrite the starting year. not sure if I can fix that.

Hit by a Parked Car 28 Mar, 2023 @ 11:50pm

Ah, sorry, I meant the starting year combined with importing a previous save.
