Thanks for posting this, Kregano. My original assumption was that cosmetic mods would work fine with WOTC. This shows otherwise. Thanks!

A lot of people in various places have been asking if cosmetic mods would work okay with WOTC, so I figured I'd test it out and see what happened.

Kind of surprised that so many mods worked right off the bat.
What about Titanfall gear? Any news? This mod is not being updated so if its not compatible with WOTC it is gone. I know nothin about modding but is there any way to mod the shaders itself without updating every single cosmetic mod?

Well, you don't need to fix every, since there's a whole bunch that work fine. The thing is that it's probably easier to fix the textures/texture settings once people know why they break.

Thanks. yeah so its hit and miss. I'm afraid about this particular one because this is my favourite and despite its popularity seems abandoned. We'll see, fingers crosses

I take it Capnbubs' accessories are broken?
Maybe the mods are trying load textures from the base game ?

Some of them are, some aren't.

Nobody knows, since there's no redscreens to show what's broken.

I've tried this photo booth demo and all my soldiers appeared in vanilla tier 1 gear despite the fact that originally they were in modded gear. It just replaced automatically all modded gear. Dunno if it proves incompatibility or not. For some reason it also changed races of some of my soldiers

I think this was done with the method of putting mod files were they were suppose to work with the propaganda center for photobooth.

It was shared on the sub reddit how to do it.

@PerpetualSunset Thanks for info. we'll see in four days (fingers crossed).

Huh... Do we have any idea why those mods stopped working? I wouldn't have expected Firaxis to change much in the way cosmetics are handled.

Hows destroyers hair packs? I have alot of soldiers who use them.

From what I've heard, it might be related to shader changes in WOTC vs the base game.
Malidictus 12 25 Aug, 2017 @ 10:29am 
Hmm... So any cosmetic mod with textures in it might be problematic, if War of the Chosen has a different means of handling textures. That would probably fall under the "optimisation" banner. Well, let's hope mod-makers return to update those, because the extra hair and armour colours are pretty important :)
