what mods do you guys use with BEX

[LeviathansWrath]

Like the title says, im just curious as to what mods can be ran together with the BEX mod, also should be noted i am running the CAC mod and flash point mods i could run with it, example the big deal. However i cant ask the devs directly since for some reason i cant rejoin the discord server for BEX. Anyways i havent tried anything other than bex at this time should be noted.

I like the occasional "Career Leopard Start" mod addon, requires a little tweak in the save game to make it work but fun struggle.

In addition to some of those Dragon32 mentioned if you are into BT lore - I would recommend News Events Expanded (linked to by the BEX dev on his announcement page on the discord) which fills in the gap of the Comstar News once the vanilla news dry up in 3030s and 3040s.
That would round off content mods you may already have (CAC, The Big Deal, Flashpoints of the Inner Sphere). Perhaps take a look at
BTX_ExpansionPack by AkiraBrahe.


Since you cannot rejoin the discord - link to github repository of News Events Expanded): https://github.com/Warenwolf/News-Events-Expanded

BTX_ExpansionPack by AkiraBrahe mod on github:
https://github.com/AkiraBrahe/BTX_ExpansionPack

Would also add ColourfulFlashPoints which is more QoL thingy - it allows you to make flashpoints more visible.

Clan Earned XP fix. Fixes a bug in BEX where clan missions give the wrong XP.

For example, giving a half skull worth of XP when it should be giving 3.5 to 5.

Someone said in another thread that Hyades Rim wasn't compatible with BEX?
Is that true?
And if so, what does that mean?
Does it cause game play conflicts if you have both mods selected at the same time?

Yes.
BEX, BTA3062, Hyades Rim, and Roguetech are all standalone overhauls and will break each other if installed together because they mod the same files. They can't be in the same mods folder at all activated or not.

So, in order to download Hyades, I would have to fully delete BEX?

"Yes" and No, you can just rename the Mods folder to ModsBEX and create a new one for Hyades. You don't have to delete it but you could.

So if I rename the Mods folder, when BT loads, it won't pull from the renamed folder, it will pull from the "Mods" folder with the Hyades loaded?

Yep, that's it

Well, I tried it and it worked.
Thanks for the advice!
