A Guide by KC.

Briefing

Introduction

Welcome to my guide

This is dedicated to the players who want the most immersive game play while being fully compatible with all BI campaigns and showcases.

After many hours downloading, testing and playing with mods, I believe, In my opinion, I have built the most compatible and realistic collection of improvements that complement the base game without any conflicts or breaking immersion.

This collection can also be used as a solid foundation to build your own mod list upon. Or you can pick and choose which addons work best for your game.

All workshop addons listed in this guide can be located in this easy, one click, collection:
