Worked first time for me when i started a new game, and only unlocked the multiplayer achievement as it was the only one i had remaining from the base game. Now i can enjoy WOTC!

Hey, so idk if im asking too much here but would it be possible to do a mod just like that one, but it only unlocks the "The Most Dangerous Game" achievement? I think many people would appreciate because the achievement is unable to be earned but many people likew me dont want to skip ALL achievements like that but just the one that is unobtainable.

Hi, can you make a similar mod that would make the game stop tracking achievements?
I am going to play a LWOTC play-through, and don't want to accidentally unlock some achivement in modded game.

@smileyen Happy to hear the mod worked and helped you :)

Short answer: I did as you said. I only activated this mod and started a new game, and they all came to me. Thank you for this!

Explanation for me using it:

I found out that you do actually unlock achievements in XCOM2 when using mods. I'm sure you all already know this, but that was actually the reason for me wanting to use this mod. However, my game totally glitched out (not related to this mod) and I can't make it work, without starting from scratch, and I'm not doing that! So I'm just gonna use this mod to give me the last achievements I was going to go for legit anyways and then I probably start a fresh WOTC campaign instead.

I will try that, after completing the game. Thank you for your answer :)

@Smileyen Im unsure how other mods interact with my mod. This mod will only unlock the base game's achievements.

If you are looking to unlock all the base game's achievements, try only having this mod enabled and launching the game.

This mod didn't work for me. Did I do anything wrong? From the menu I pressed "Long War 2" and started a new game. Does this not work with that mod or do I have to finish first mission or something? Please tell me. :)

Just so people don't judge me, I am playing through the game, with mods enabled, which disables the achievements, which is a shame. So I want to unlock them all now, and then still try to do them all, with my mods installed. :D

For people like me who are too lazy, this is a pretty good mod, but for those who want to try for them, I personally recommend not using this mod as it is a quick and easy way to complete everything without a hassle.

:| i misread the mod and thought it enabled the use of achievements with mods. fuck.

There is however already a way to do this without even using xcom2

The only problem with this is you removed the point of being able to brag about achievements.

Wooow, achievements are something you achieve, you're gonna brag about something you didn't do? xd

Just the mod I was looking for. I have earnt every single vanilla achievement but due to the multiplayer achievement being buggy I wasn't awarded it. Now I have all the achievements I am owed. (and not the WoTC ones which I don't own yet)

I won't use this mod personally.

I like "savescumming" my way through my campaigns and "cheating" each achievement individually via direct gameplay, so I know I "earnt" it. However, embarrassing as it is to admit, I have recently taken up the even more sickening tactic of using "mods". I know, send me to the darkest pit for all eternity for this.

However, kudos to the author, this mod provides something that some players want, and all power to them.

use the mod remove the mod no one will know unless you tell them

I could care less about this argument but I must comment based on how you brag about creating this mod in an "hours time" For a guy who cares so little about achievements by providing this mod you seem to care significantly about "achievements" you CAN attain.

@Exitium I have not provided an ini file with options as this was thrown together in an hour's time. However, it should be really obvious how achievements are unlocked if you are willing to download Xcom2 dev tools and open my mod in it :) Best of luck!

@Smokie McBongwater - How does one access your mod to unlock some of the achievements and not all of them? Is it a form of .ini file?

hm what about dlc achievments ?

-_- really?

achievement unlocked! "Lazy Ass"!

lol the amount orf salt here is ridiculous. you don't need the mod to get the cheevos, and like he said, "Achievement is what you earn by your actions, not what your steam profile shows"

To throw perverbial fuel on the proverbial fire, I don't see the issue with this mod.

In regards to the personal glory of earning achievements, yes, it is a nice feeling to work hard to unlock every achievement which is why it's a good thing that is the default state (you can simply do nothing and carry on this paradigm).

In regards to Firaxis using achievement statistics to modify future gameplay, if they are a developer worth their salt (and I believe they are) then mods like this are something they had to anticipate when it came to their decision to allow such extensive modding of the game, it would stand to reason that when it comes to looking at the data surrounding achievements, they might also look at the subscription numbers on mods like this (it's not like that data isn't avalible to them, it's all on Steam) and use that to adjust their numbers accordingly.

Good job man,its funny to read comments from pissed off morons who think that archivements are an acomplishment.

@Black Raven: Actually no. Skyrim workshop has had a similar mod for up to 4 years now.

It basically is, this is pretty close to a 3rd party tool that unlocks the Steam achievements. And I actually got 100% on my own, with just the Stop Wasting My Time mod. I didn't have to cheat or dumb down the game. But of course, someone who makes something as cheesy as this shit would have a private steam account, and a fanatic following of VAC banned users.

I not against mods that make game easier, but isnt this mod actually breaching steam rules, i know somebody was sued for 3rd party tool that did the same thing

Duo Vandal: Oh yea, cause it'd be soooo hard using mods that make the game easier, or modifying my mod to give only one achievement at a time... Oh wait, that'd take all of 2 minutes!

In fact, with the amount of hilarious anti-support, maybe I should go ahead and update the mod from proof of concept to fully fledged cheater mod? :D

Glad that Steam has time stamps so at least I can validate that I EARNED my achievements, instead of being called a cheater like the people who use this mod. All the cheaters will have the same date and time stamp for their prowess. Man turning a light switch on must be an achievement.

So glad this exists so I can get flak for actually doing well.

So disgusting. Just seeing this makes me want to vomit. Why on earth would you decide to CHEAT for achievements??? If you take away the achievements, then what the hell is left? The game? So dumb... wait...

@MrBluedive I believe in the freedom of doing whatever you want with your purchases, so I feel obligated to defend that right against people who would like to take it away from others.

@LuftWolfe: If it is so irrelevant to you, why do you keep reacting to postings pointing out the lameness of this mod and its users?

@MrBluedive Life aint fair buddy, kinda gotta learn to deal with it sometimes. Especially with something as irrelevant as a VIDEO GAME ACHIEVEMENT

What is SAM, I'll definitely look into it if it can produce the same results.

Why not use SAM to unlock all achivements of all your games? Pointless.

@ The 11th doctor: You're quite missing the point here. No-one in this discussion is offended by others having an achievement. The problem we are having is, simply put, that we get annoyed by cheaters.

@Smokie:
> "I' very sorry if your experience of enjoyment from xcom is based upon feeling special from having a steam achievement."
I do not get enjoyment of having an achievement. If that were the case I'd be using your mod, wouldn't I? I get enjoyment from *gaining* an achievement. And yes, knowing that I was able to do something that other could not feels good. This is a basic human drive, that you too feel, albeit not ncessarily related to gaming.

> "Global statistics really shouldnt effect your gameplay otherwise"
Agreed. The gameplay is not the issue here. The joy derived from gaining achievments is.

> "Its not like stunlancers get +5hp if too many people globally has a rare achievement"
?? I fail to see how that is relevenat here.

> "But other people choosing to play differently should not have an effect on your enjoyment."
Please clarify how cheating your way to achievements equals playing the game? That's the part that I'm not quite getting.

MrBluedive: I' very sorry if your experience of enjoyment from xcom is based upon feeling special from having a steam achievement. Global statistics really shouldnt effect your gameplay otherwise. Its not like stunlancers get +5hp if too many people globally has a rare achievement XD

cwojackson: hilarious!

I Understand that most people like to get their achievements the legit way. Go do it. But other people choosing to play differently should not have an effect on your enjoyment. Take a step back; look around the workshop, find the mods you want to use and go enjoy a videogame.

I think everyone who is offended by strangers having an achievement in a video game should kill themselves. The pain must be too much to bare.

Well, I subscribed long enough to create a new start. I flew through the startup mission by using the "PowerUp" cheat, looked at all my achievements (for the first and probably last time), deleted the new save, unsubscribed and returned to my original game in progress. Oddly enough, I didn't hear any tiny cries of agony while in my Steam account.

@LuftWolfe: "decisions on a single-player game should not affect the experience of another person." Yeah, except that they do because these decision are pushed globally and hence effect all players. Should those achievements live only on the machine of that single player you would be correct. This however is not the case.

To each his own, I can see some achievment collectors using this just to have the perfect game. But I like the torture of Legend / Double Enemy Counts xD.

The problem with this is that it COMPLETELY ruins any hope we'd had of tracking how many people did certain things in the game, through Achievements.

And it's scummy to just game Steam achievements like this. It makes them ... not-achievements. By definition.

Anyone downloading any balance mod is "cheating" the system. And I don't get why u even care about some "difficulty curve" when this is mostly a singleplayer ? I really don't think it matters if veteran is twice as hard as commander but legend is 4 timed harder than veteran. And pls don't think firaxis is doing any balance changes after this point. That's why they implemented this huge moddington part into the game so everybody can make there own balance changes....
Have u tryed moding the enemy weapon damage on legend ? A sectopod doing 0 critical dmg is so difficult to hit. Not.

All that besides ... why hate on some new moder who uploaded his "test" and did the work of describing, making a previewpicture and so on to get to know the workshop ? U should be happy to see people like this cause in the end u want there non-test-mods (which got acived by testing a shitton) to play with.

Haters gona hate. That how it always was that's what how it always will be. Amen.

I'll be truthful on this... This mod is frankly, pathetic. I'm not that great at strategy games, myself... but Why would I ruin the challenge of trying to unlock these achievements through sheer determination and skill?

The only thing this mod does, is damage Firaxis's ability to accurately determine the difficulty curve of the game, and give those who don't want to take the time and effort to get good at a game out of sheer laziness, a way to cheat the system. Anyone who downloads and uses this mod, only enables that kind of behavior.

Hehaho15: This mod is about the simplest thing in the world and anyone with a bit of time could easily do individual achievements and even automate the process of giving them out over a period. There is not a guard against this, and its not hard.
I simply stumbled upon the way it handles achievements and figured it would save the savescummers some time, with very minimal effort and learning to publish a mod in the process.

I'm no elite modder, but anyone who has poked around ModBuddy will recognize that XCOM 2 is insanely moddable. It's by no means a perfect system in terms of how we go about more complicated things, but it is easy to make huge balance changes.

XCOM 2 will be focused on how YOU want to play.
With the state of the workshop after less than a month, this should already be self evident.

Who cares what you think about achievements? Don't use ity then, jesus.

Sorry, but they're called achievements for a reason.

I hope the creater can understand my opinion on this, and will keep it to a flat "Unlock All" at the start of the game...
