THIS MOD PACK WILL NOT BE UPDATED ANYMORE. But will stay up on nexus.
Vanilla Plus REQUIRES ALL DLC The basic premice of Vanilla Plus is to add all the imported assets to the base game plus a couple of QoL improvement mods without changing anything drastically (well clans ruin balance but meh).
Adds 112 (I think) new modelled mechs to the base game. Adds 10 new modelled turrets to the base game. Adds 40'ish new modelled vehicles to the base game.
Extra options for career difficulty. 22 more ronin pilots. Random mechs for new careers, can be any light or medium mech. Shops at 6 planets can sell any of the new mech's parts or weapons/ammo/upgrades etc Half and Double ammo
Balance and accuracy to lore Clans ruin balance full stop, This mod is not aimed at complete balance. It's aimed at having fun. I have tried my upmost to make sure every mech variant is 100% accurate, however this is hard sometimes with vanilla.
USING THIS WITH ANY OTHER MAJOR MODPACK WILL NOT WORK.

Install Guide
Install the CAB to your main battletech folder "steamapps\common\BATTLETECH\Mods" not "\Documents\My Games\BattleTech\mods" Extract Vanilla plus to "steamapps\common\BATTLETECH\Mods" Run ModTekInjector.exe in the "BATTLETECH\Mods\modtek" Enjoy the game with added stompyness
This mod collection will not work with HBS's mod loader, only ModTek
If for any reason you don't like any of the included mods removing them is simple and will not impact a new game.
Say for example you dislike the SkipIntro mod, just delete the folder with the same name. Folders with the following names are essential and will break game if deleted: BattletechPerformanceFix Modtek Vanilla Plus Core VANPLUSMechsVanilla
VANPLUSTurrets and VANPLUSVehicles can be removed with no impact, as long as you don't have a save in a deployment.
Stopping specfic mech's from spawning:
Say for example you detest a certain mech, lets use the Xenorauder for example open the relevant mechdef in a text editor (I recommend notepad++)
At the very top you will see this
Add the line "BLACKLISTED" and make sure to add a comma at the end of the line above it, so it would look like this image
This will stop the xenorauder from spawning in missions but will not affect anything if you already have the mech
