How to Play With Modded Lighting Maps Only
To play with modded lighting maps only, you need to remove base game maps from the lighting map roster in the XComMaps.ini file.

Copying the following lines will do the trick (e.g. as a local mod):
Those config lines only affect lighting types present in regular missions, not special missions like final or DLC missions.

The mods will already have the necessary config for adding the modded maps.

Keep in mind that the default Tunnel and Abandoned City lighting maps are also removed in this example.
If you want to keep them, do not include lines with the following map names: XP_LE_Tunnels_Subway
XP_LE_Tunnels_Sewer
XP_LE_AbandonedCity_Day
XP_LE_AbandonedCity_Night

Otherwise, remember to use the mod that adds other custom lighting types to tunnels/abandoned cities, such as Tunnel & Abandoned Lighting Maps.
