Yes the game is moddable. There are many players that have 100s of mods without issues. I'm currently using over 100 myself and by some people's standards that's "lightly modded".

The problem is likely the mods you have chosen either don't play nice together or don't work with the version of XCOM you are playing. Make sure you have mods for WOTC if playing WOTC and do NOT use mods for WOTC if playing the base game. Read the descriptions of the mods carefully and make sure they don't conflict with each other - the modders often note potential or known conflicts. If you're using the default launcher, try the Alternate Mod Launcher (downloaded from github), it has much more functionality and has some quick troubleshooting features - for example it will tell you if you are missing dependencies, or if you have certain direct conflicts.

I am currently using 147 mods and I know there are people who have more. Use the "alternate mod launcher" available on github. It requires some setup and works much much better than the built in game launcher.

OMG Thank You! Its been years and I totally forgot about the AML. You both saved me a lot of irritation XD thanks again!

Ok, I d/l'd the AML and while I can actually get into game now with mods, it doesn't stay open and still crashes constantly. I am trying to use modpacks though, so I don't know lol this game is so hard to mod

Thank you ill give it a good look through lol It's starting to erk me how ridiculous it is to get mods to work with this game XD Again, Thanks ^^

XCOM 2 is one of the easist games to mod, mods are installed in one click and are managed automatically, no need to worry about load order or max number of mods or other similar things. The only difficult part is getting the right mods that won't conflict with each other and the game version and are not broken.

Yeah adding mods is easy but finding any modpacks without having to reload the game a billion times or tik mods on/off one at a time to see which random combination works is annoying and unnecessarily time consuming

It's really not that complicated, observing simple rules like actually reading descriptions of mods you're getting and avoiding using vanilla mods with WOTC with some rare exceptions, and applying some common sense like *not* combining multiple big overhaul mods will prevent 99% of mod-related issues.

Yeah the first two guys helped me with that but I noticed it must also be something else wrong. I uninstalled all the mods and only installed the Highlander mod only and my game still crashed -_- I am unsure of what to do from here so I am doing a fresh install of the game and putting it on my SSD

Installed mods,
Installed AML
Installed Highlander.
All mods active in AML
Mods still dont work/show-up ingame
What am i missing?

Make sure you're using the right version of the Highlander for the version of the game you're running.
