First up, my collection only has UI and QOL mods in it. And is considered by some (mostly me) to be the go to UI/QOL collection for LWOTC. You don't need to subscribe to all, so pick and choose. All have been tested to work with LWOTC mostly without issues. See below.

PLEASE NOTE: Extended Information mod will cause the shot hud to show 0% hit chance. To fix this go in mod options ingame menu, look for extended information and disable Aim Assist.

Also Unit Flag Extended will show loot icon on enemies: "Loot can be toggled to only display after scanning protocol, battle scanners or scouting by Reaper target definition. Defaults to shown, no scanning needed."

And finally, [SOCI] Rusty Barracks Status Display, will not display soldiers in the correct status. This is known and is expected to be updated to support lwotc at some point in the future. But I still find it very useful and included it in the collection.

Could someone LWOTC-savvy please take a look to see if the Core Collection has any mods that would clash with LWOTC?

No, it is not compatible

im guessing RPGO isn't compatible with this.

It kinda, sort of is.

If you just launch it as it is, it wont crash, but alot of features aint gona work or some unintended things will happen, like getting Master Sergeants in first month because XP gain is conflicting with how Long War does it.

Because Musashi... isnt around to fix it (break from XCOM modding ?), either someone creates a giant patch for others to get or you can simply do it yourself.

Thankfully, all that needs to be done is pretty much editing ini files via AML and requires no actual coding skills or you having to download the + 50 gig SDK.
Because i was among the first to play RPGO with LWOTC, i made a thread about it and i gathered fixes guys brought up in the original post.

Edit: For those curious about Raider Factions and if they work.

They do, but without additional patching, they will get absolutely trashed by Advent and XCOM due to them using vanilla-esque stats (And everything in long war has been juiced up)

But the biggest problem you will find is.... luck.
Because how LW2 changed how you get corpses (You only get them from full salvage missions, which are rare). Its almost bordeline impossible to get something like troop collum ambush AND roll a sit rep on it with a Raider faction that actually drops something.
You will be lucky if you will get atleast 1 gear piece across the entire campaign.

And there is no actual fix around this aside from cheating. Multiple Sitreps mod does NOT work with LWOTC. The only thing you can do is to up the sitrep chance via spelunking in files of the mod. But you will crap yourself first because sitreps will make alot of missions absolutely nightmarish.

And then there is the problem of the stats of the gear (being balanced around vanilla). So what you might get might be hot trash. SCP foundation and GOC though have gear thats worth it even in LW2 enviroment.

do you know if its compatible with Mechatronic Warfare: Total SPARK Overhaul and additional mission types?

Spark overhaul probably not. You can grab Kiruka's version for lwotc. And additional mission types i'm guessing would also need a bridge mod to work properly.

I can't see an in game mod menu anymore, only in the 2K launcher and it doesn't seem to have any options to speak of. Does this way of sorting out the extended information mod not work anymore? Everything else in that collection is working great, I just have the 0% hit chance thing.

To fix this go in mod options "ingame" menu, look for extended information and disable Aim Assist. Check [WotC] Mod Config Menu workshop page to see where its located.

Hey man, thanks for this. ill certainly check it out

Do Allies Unknown mods work with LWotC?

I've made my own collection of mods I've tested for the past year or so along with LWOTC; I've played without any problems so far, for close to 1000 hours, but it all may depend on your hardware configuration, loading 200+ mods does take a toll if your system can't manage:
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1924996470

A lot of the mods (A LOT) are soldier cosmetics, weapon cosmetics (to replace "vanilla" LW2/LWOTC weapon skins with ghost templates through Iridar's "XSkin" mod, and voice packs. For a more "tacticool" experience, if you're into that sort of thing (I am!). If you have a low-end system, I would suggest to do without the voice packs, because they seem to cause the bigger slowdowns, followed by some or all soldier cosmetic options.
It's always a good idea to add a few mods at the time, test, then add a few more, repeat.

However, for the map mods, you need to take care to apply the FX_Billboards fix found here:

You'd also want to apply this fix

as explained again by RustyDios, if you want the fix for "Floating Advent Towers" in City and Slum maps; this fixes like 99% of all towers (I've noticed a floating one maybe twice in over 800 hours of LWotC)

edit: I don't think the link works on mobile; it works for me if I click it and open Discord in the browser; since there is a rar of files to download and then place into \content\pcp\citycenter of map packs to fix the floating towers, I assume one isn't on mobile anyway; if it were so, RustyDios provided the link to the files that fix the floating towers on the discord in 10 December 2020, a quick search should find the conversation.

Finally, several of the UI and gameplay-altering mods have Config files, where you can switch features on and off. What the various options are is most often explained in that mod's own page or directly in that mod's Config file.

Remember, always use the AML, and enjoy! ;)

Allies Unknown doesn't work well. It has a tendency to lag the strategic layer and has a non-LWOTC type mission without infiltration. I suggest using Playable XCOM 2 Aliens For LWOTC instead, then if you want more get Mod Jam and some of the multitude of mods it supports.
