@gloomyblues
It was very useful for me,i get it, thanks for sharing

At first it seemed this was not working, even though I had made both of the edits suggested by gloomyblues. Then suddenly, after I'd already promoted a couple of rookies, the Commander's Choice button appeared right where it should have.
So, it works for a given value of "work." I just hope it keeps working. :)

I used gloomyblues fix and it works now for me. Thanks!

Getting frustrated/desperate =( I will concede I'm completely new to the modding scene but after commander's choice not appearing after being enabled, I followed gloomyblues instructions as well > checked the right false/true values against the right field as per the table below, and the commander's choice tab still isn't appearing in the armoury or on the promotion screen so when I press promote soldiers will still just randomly assign a class... Can anyone guide me where I'm going wrong here please! Thnx

In my case, as boyrdee mentioned,

I changed the following:

SteamLibrary/steamapps/workshop/content/268500/688405905/CommandersChoice.XComMod

[mod]
publishedFileId=688405905
Title=Commanders Choice
Description=Description of My XCOM 2 Mod.
tags=
contentImage=
RequiresXPACK=true


And then modified:

c:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\workshop\content\268500\688405905\Config\XComCommandersChoice.ini

[CommandersChoice.UIScreenListener_CommandersChoice]
;Disable Next/Prev Soldier buttons if either is rookie ready to level up?
;Default: bPreventAccidentalLevelUp=True -> False
bPreventAccidentalLevelUp=True -> False

After changing the value from True to False, the Commander's Choice menu appeared.

Hope it would help.

idk why but its the 7th of june 2025 and mines not working
it says that it will only work on normal xcom 2 on the new mod launcher
but the mod says it works for wotc aswell so idk

WORK FOR ME MISSING CONFIRMATION BUTTON

Confirm unlike Telcontyr before, the following addition of RequiresXPACK=true, enables CC from the New Mod Launcher for me.

SteamLibrary/steamapps/workshop/content/268500/688405905/CommandersChoice.XComMod

[mod]
publishedFileId=688405905
Title=Commanders Choice
Description=Description of My XCOM 2 Mod.

RequiresXPACK=true

The only fix that worked for me was installing the "Alternative Mod Launcher" from github and Commanders choice works now !

@LeoArcticaa how did you fix it?

Nevermind I think I found or fixed it.

I just resubbed and now the commander's choice option is at the top of soldier tab when you go to promote them, for me it was above the Customise button.

Theres no option for commanders choice anymore, just promote solider :<

Not working anymore for me either

Mod not working for me either

mod isn't working there is no option for, commanders choice. i even stated a new game and nothing

@Apostivox How? It doesn't even load in the game for me and I even tried the ini edit that was suggested. Please help! I love this mod and want it to work!

I cannot believe this wasn't in the base games. Great work! Working brilliantly for me!

The mod loaded fine for me with the new mod launcher but the menu items are offset. For example "customize" opens the loadout screen and the regular "promote soldier" goes to "dismiss soldier" instead. Is there a fix for this?

Well, it works but the list is only showing custom classes.

How do you get this to work? I am am trying a long war in WOTC and I need the choice to choose in this.

Still not working even with the posted fix.

Anyone else getting a new glitch where the very first Rookie you promote lacks the "Confirm" button when selecting the "Starting Abilities"? I swear I encountered this before in some capacity, but I most definitely got around it in the past. Anyone know a solution?

if yall having issues with it not working follow Teamapes instructions (April-11-2025)

despite following the steps outlined by everyone else i cannot get this thing to work, running with LWOTC but even without it it's non-functional

Does this work with amalgamation Classes?

Confirm unlike Telcontyr before, the following addition of RequiresXPACK=true, enables CC from the New Mod Launcher for me.

SteamLibrary/steamapps/workshop/content/268500/688405905/CommandersChoice.XComMod

Can confirm that it works with Original Mod Launcher, not sure either if RequiresXPACK=true is required but I added it to the file anyway.

Adding RequiresXPACK=true did NOT make the mod work with the New Mod Launcher.

For me the github Alternative Mod Launcher just crashes when I try to use it.

Launch the game with the original mod launcher (you can do this by right clicking on the game in your library and clicking properties) and it works at least for me.
I'm not sure if you have to add RequiresXPACK=true if the mod files like other people said but I did so it's probably best advised.

That alternative mod launcher crashes the second I press launch WOTC at the top...

For everyone still having issues with this mod, add the RequiresXPACK=true line in the CommandersChoice.XComMod file and use the Alternative Mod Launcher here:
{LINK REMOVED}https://github.com/X2CommunityCore/xcom2-launcher

That worked for me

Все работает. в файлах ничего не прописывал, RequiresXPACK уже была изначально прописана....возможно из за того, что игру скачал на днях.
запускал Long War of the Chosen, через Alternative Mod Launcher....по другому не пробовал.
=========================================================================
Everything works. I didn’t write anything in the files, RequiresXPACK was already written there initially... possibly because I downloaded the game recently.
I launched Long War of the Chosen through the Alternative Mod Launcher... I haven’t tried it any other way."

Tried adding RequiresXPACK=true as recommended by previous comments but this seems to not work. If possible, could mod poster do a fix? It would be much appreciated

mod does not work with wotc

@Chris Redfield Where in the files would I do this?

@Chris Redfield
I was copying Ninjaboy. He left the S out of his. But with the S, it works. Thanks for the quick reply.

@Boge you forgot to add the s on RequiresXPACK=true, that's why it's not working for you.

This has recently stopped working for me. It was working a few weeks back, but not today. I use the AML as well. It's making me wonder how many other mods I have that are not working and I won't realize it until 20 hours later at the end of my playthrough.
Adding RequireXPACK=true to CommandersChoice.XComMod does NOT fix it.
Freaking updates. Why can't a released game just stay released and not be modified?

@Ninjaboy - what file does this need to be added to?

it does work if you write RequireXPACK=true in files

unfortunately, the mod doesn't work, even with trying some of the suggestions in the comments

Not working for me anymore either.

i have no commanders choice option..using the new mod launcher too..

@akio It means Alternative Mod Loader

the fuck does AML mean :sob:

Thanks to VS-lockon and Nocturno for posting how to make the mod working for WotC. Using "new mod launcher" option on the game start, no AML. Works with Long War of the Chosen!

And thanks to the mod authors for the mod itself!

Is the mod corrupted or something? A couple of months ago it was working correctly, is there a way to fix it now or is it time to resort to another mod?

if there is a setting in the mod I need to change that can make it work, as I see a few people further down mention, how do I do that?

so this was working for me for quite awhile, recently I think they updated the games launch window and now it says this mod is only available in vanilla, I have it selected and active but it won't work on WOTC. all I now is the launch window looks different than it did awhile ago and now the mod won't work on WOTC like it used to

IT WORKS
Not compatible with Musahis RPG Overhaul or any variant

Add this into the CommandersChoice.XComMod:
RequiresXPACK=true

Works good for now

The mod is not working for me. Iv tried to changed stuff in the ini but iv gotten no change.
