Description
Hello buddies,

These are the mods that I use in my XCOM 2 playthrough on YouTube which is currently being recorded LIVE on twitch.tv/GamekNightPlays every Wednesday at 8 PM CEST!

Common for these mods are that they are game improving - but not game changing
Put into easier to understand terms I never add mods that make the game easier or mods that add items that are different from the vanilla version.

It will consist of mods that makes your life as a player easier and better or mods that gives you more customization options!

Check out my let's play series here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZnpvI8M83Y4Jhb71kVzHraCE-fJAr7mb

DISCLAIMER: Remember that there's always a chance of mods breaking your game, not being compatible with each other, or otherwise bugging out. Backup your saves before installing anything if you want to be safe, and check the workshop pages of each mod for important information on configuring them or discovering important notes about their use. Have fun!
