Does this work with Full Combat Rebalanced?
- Cannot recommend installing these side-by-side, users have reported issues. If you already have FCR installed and want to switch to this mod I recommend you un-install the game, delete any files left inside the installation directory and re-install. FCR modifies a lot of files meaning a regular un-install of that mod won't suffice.
Is this compatible with any other mods?
- Short answer NO, long answer MAYBE. A lot of files have been modified and the chance of something breaking is rather large. That said, if the other mod doesn't change anything this mod does it will probably be fine (for example: texture and model changes). If you still want to proceed please report any issues found in the forums, I will compile a list based on this feedback. You can also request any features you are missing, I will consider them all (keeping in mind that this mod aims to be balanced). Mod Compatibility.
Which version of the game do I need?
- All you need is the Enhanced Edition (v3.4), doesn't matter if you have a Retail, Steam or GOG version.
Will you incorporate another mod with this?
- See Mod Compatibility for already tested mods, if it's not on there you can always make a request.
