Description
A pack of compatible War of the Chosen UI/visual mods for players who haven't played XCOM 2/WotC before, or are returning to the game after a long hiatus! Check out the master collection with the practically-mandatory XCOM WotC Community Highlander mod and links to other types of mods for new players as well here:

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2099299329

Mostly a subset of Shingen's Ultimate Gameplay Mods but tailored for new/long-lapsed players:
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2045565544

This collection includes both quality-of-life style UI fixes, and UI updates that make the information you need to play the game easier to find. It also includes various visual enhancements, all of which I recommend if you have a machine that's more powerful than the recommended specs for XCOM.

Mods that fix UI bugs

Quality of Life mods that make your squad and the Avenger easier to manage

Mods that give you better tactical-layer information

Mods that give you better strategy-layer information

Misc. UI improvement mods
