Mod May Not be Working
I think this mod may not be loading correctly. I have it "switched on" under the Mods tab in the pre-loading screen. I have a Guerilla Tactics School built and several soldiers at the Sargeant rank (as well as one at Lt.). When I go to the GTS, there's no option to buy or activate the Leadership training slot/option.

Are there are additional activation requirements? Some documentation on the mod's description page would help. Maybe there's some way to manually install mods or force them to load on launch?

Also, I'm running the game on a Mac. That should matter for a game with a simultaneous PC/Mac release, but I noted someone in the comments had a similar problem and was running on a Mac.

Check for Upgrades in the upper right section of the Tactics school. There should be the "Promote to leader"-button. :psi:

If you mean the Upgrade button like on Power rooms, I don't have that on mine.

I'm also seeing over in the comments complaints that weapons disappear when you send someone for officer training. Is anyone else experiencing this? If that's true, I kind of don't want to get the mod working right now.

I'm playing on a Mac too and it seems like no mods work for me whatsoever, even though i have them checked in the launcher and the game seems to acknowledge their existence. :steamsalty:

yeh im having the same issue, im on mac, mods are downloadable, they are clickable (as in i can turn them on and off) but they arent applied in the game itself, it is day one of the game so this sort of thing is expected i just hope they fix it soon!

That's very true. Considering this was a simultaneous Mac/PC release, I've not much to complain about.

Having the same issue, but I'm on Windows 10.

If you are playing on a Mac, try downloading the mods from the Nexus and following the install instructions there. There may be an issue with Mac <> Steam Workshop mods, which will have to be fixed by the developers who did the Mac port.

I am not on a mac, and cannot get any mods to work, absolutely no idea why.

My thread has been blessed by a developer - awesome! Thanks for the suggestion. I'll go look at Feral's (?) support forums and see if they know about the issue.

I've also been seeing bug reports that sending a soldier for leadership training strips all their weapon mods. Is this a consistent issue or just a random bug some people are seeing?

We haven't been able to reproduce any issues with customized / upgraded weapons being destroyed when leaders go into training.

When you go into leader training, the soldier's customized weapon is unequipped. Anyone can equip it via the weapon selection UI. Unless someone can provide a path to reproduce an actual lost weapon, I can only assume this is user misunderstanding.

I cannot get this mod to work. I'm on pc.

While this has mostly become a Mac thread, I can make some broad suggestions. If you downloaded the Mod through Steam, try downloading and manually installing it from the Nexus web site, as suggested above. The mod description has directions for installation. You'll probably need to find the SteamApps/common/XCOM 2/ directory on your PC. Not sure where exactly that is, though (maybe My Documents?).

It works. You need to be a certain bit into the game.
