Thanks for the feedback. I'll give additional icons a fair shake then. Thank you.

I have my eyes on the 'new' Gotcha mod. Will probably test it.

To be honest. I find Numerical Health incredibly ugly with many units on the screen - something that happens frequently with ABA in the mix. I greatly prefer Additional Icons, it's much less visual clutter, the loot indicator can (and should) be disabled in the ini.

Just in case anyone reads this: The mod conflict that absolutely murders Geoscape FPS is "Upcoming Events in Hours". Apparently it has a conflict with LWToolBox from reading the comments on that mod's page.

Disabling the mod and relaunching the game immediately brought my Geoscape back well above 100fps.


Finally, "Gotcha" in this list should be replaced with "Gotcha Again" (https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=866874504) , the spiritual successor to the original mod (which hasn't seen an update in over a year).

On a cosmetic/personal note, I like Numeric Health (http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=621376448) over grimy's "Additional Icons". Looks way better. Side bonus is you dont get the cheaty loot-is-on-this-unit icon that Additional Icons has.

Can also confirm that there's a mod somewhere in this pack which is crippling my geoscape FPS down to 10-15. Battlescape and skyranger are fine (60+), just Geoscape.

Thanks for ABA2 and putting this list together. I recognize you from the xcom subreddit! Anyways, I'm getting off of LW2; hopefully this modlist can get me back in the groove of kicking some alien ass and get XCOM back to being XCOM!

Yes, of course.

Are these mods free of charge?

Severe FPS losses with these mods, but I'm not sure which ones. I'll probably stick to some ini edits, A Better AI, and some other stuff. ABA2 and LW/Shadow Ops adds so much to the game I'm not sure they're even that necessary. Thanks for the awesome list, though!

This modlist rocks. Just trying to decide if I want to go with scanning sites, fatigue and more soldiers or not.
