Looks amazing ! Is it working now in 2025 please ?

Anyone know why Chryssalid operative doesnt create cocoon once it scores a kill in LW2 (it works fine in base game though)? Or is it a LW2 balance change?

i am happy thast i read the description i play wotc so yeah

anyone figure out how you could make this WOTC compatible?

This mod works right with the LWC version?

The best thing that perfectly makes WOTC not necessary and proves that custom alien units just need surgery + proving grounds to actually be recruitable.

This should of been a ground-breaking for people.
Also how do you get the mod working?
Enable the mod via ALM > Go into the surgery tab > Dissect an alien for parts > Research the alien species further > Gain at least one proving grounds station > Use the proving grounds to recruit aliens.

Seriously though; this is so ingenious it could be used to make WOTC workshop content into non-WOTC Content.

can we get this with WOTC?

greetings,so ive been with this mod 4 a while and ive noticed a few problems,4 starters the archon's Blazing pinion doesnt fully worked,the ability activates,the archon flies up,does the animation,shows where the shots will land BUT,when it is the next turn the shots that r suppose 2 land never arrives and thus no quadruple explosions happen.2nd-The berserker's shredding passive uggrade from promotions doesnt shred any armor as well as any type of ammo u epuip 2 em wont effect em,this effect also implies 2 the Gatekeeper,no ammo works on it as well as far as i can tell,The Andromedon is a bit weird as even though i moved it in cover it will tell me its flanked when its not.So the mod is alot of fun but i would rly like these issues be fixed please!

@Gamerhell Did you do the autopsies and check the proving grounds?
Alternatively, have you made sure that the mod is activated? You might have accidentally deactivated it in the launch window, though I don't know how likely that is.

@Gamerhell You did the autopsies and checked the Proving Grounds, right?

Seriously, anyone that has figured out how to even get the mod working in the first place, how did you do it? Every time I load the game up with the mod it is as if the mod is not even there. I have no playable alien units, I don't see an option in the character pool to create any, I keep making new campaigns, can anyone help me?

how do they get better weapons? Aliens feel weaker at lower ranks without them

I fixed the crashes but the mod is not working. I cant train any alien units. I need help.

Haha got excited and made an all-alien squad for the Destroy Network Tower mission then realized none of the aliens can hack a workstation xD
Always have at least one squishy human on your team!

I cant Promote my viper, any ideas why? it says im missing a template?

my game just crashes when i try to load it with this mod is thier something I need to do?

Why this mod is not compatible with the dlc wotc?

Nevermind, it's fixed

costumes don't work for shit and editing the config files doesn't fix it

I can't seem to unlock the aliens

This mod is cool but can you add costume skins for all the aliens it be very cool you do those I am doing kinda a rp game with a rebel viper but she’s blue and black snake texture I kinda like it also you need to fix the t pose issues when you go the mission it looks weird and funny please fix for the older version vallina I’ll wait to get it once the price goes down thank you. Keep up the hoood work ans please do it if you have a chance thanks

I also have the weird problem where the aliens are humans, any fix?

Kriiden has moved on from this project, and recommended trying this one for WOTC compatibility:

First off, LOVE this mod. But I have minor issue.

Got the button to change outfits/uniforms on my screen, and I was able to change skins with ease a few months ago, but now, for whatever reason, I am unable to. The button is still there, but it says "Not an alien unit" when hovering over it, despite the units being vipers, beserkers, and mutons.

Anyone got a fix?

they units appear human and not alien no matter what I do

Since i played XCOM: Chimera Squad, this would be better than ever for WOTC. :)

Would really like to see a wotc version tbh

The WOTC version is trash, this one is better.

WOTC version is missing the best ones, zerkers

+1 for a WOTC version, really hope someone picks this up soon.

Would love to see this get WOTC support

I for one would still like to see this in WOTC. the other available playable aliens is good but not having as extensive a choice

Still no WotC version?

wear is the playable.ini

i really hope they get the wotc done because i really want playable spectres

@THE BLACKOUT, I was just trying to inform them as well. the more info people pass along, the smarter we become as a whole.

While this "For those who want wotc version, click here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1218007143" is a good alternative for WotC, it is not, in fact, a WotC version of this mod. Many, MANY aliens/customization are not avalable if flat out removed. And the modder of that mod stated they will not be updating it with new aliens or customization.

thanks

I'd love to be able to field all Advent aliens without having to buy them. Take the fight to the aliens with aliens, rather than worthless humans who panic.

Does this mod have a version that supports WOTC?

my aliens are getting promoted from rookie to human classes. WELP

Will you be doing a WOTC version?

Was fun while it lasted. than it destroyed my save file.

this is a very good mod allso the way the codex can change colours in the avenger id say is cute but i dout it was intended

Hi, I was hoping to talk with Dreamer or whoever created the playable aliens, I was hoping to make a advanced or extended edition of Playable ADVENT/Aliens, I was hoping you guys could help teach me a bit on what you did to make it work!
Thanks in advance!

Besides an annoying bug (the aliens have no heads in the ship before the mission actually start) and a few missing aliens, this mod is enjoyable. In fact, I wonder why "Playable Aliens" is not an official DLC.

I don't see the projects to get the units. do I need to make a new game or rebuild the proving grounds?

A shame you can't make Regular Advent ground forces E.G Advent Trooper / Officer / Priest / Shieldbearer ETC

@jmastergonz. Yes if it's the base game (I.E not War of the Chosen) it will work.

Awkward question, this is my first time using Mods. Will this work with the Vanilla game even though i dont have Long War 2?

@RedMattis Never even bought the expansion, which is why I'm left most confused at the ordeal.
