Removing mods mid story? (wotc)
I was just wondering what if i unistall or desable mods during my story or save. if they are just cosmetic would it mess up my save or corrupt anything if they are just costume mods?

Just make a seperate save beforehand only save outside a mission and be sure nobody is using any of the modded items. Then disable the mod in the launcher and load up one of your two saves and see if everything is fine. If you can play as normal good if not and the save becomes corrupt, well then you can re-enable the mod and use the other save you made, that way at least you won't have to start all over again.

If you wanted to load a save where say elite soldier pack in XCOM 1 was on the save, and then you removed the elite soldier pack, the game wouldn't let you load the save.

so yeah, he's probably right, the saves probably wouldn't be loadable. but that was XCOM1, and official DLC.

In XCOM 2 originally you couldn't load saves either if you removed something, it was changed at one point; still a bad idea though.
