It's crazy that they could not make the game "fair". I was so happy to find this mod... but I have the DLC. Now I'm sad and am going to shelf the game till I find a patch like this.
Well, you can always add manually most of those changes - what i have done a moment ago - configs are still there - the same path as fro EU, just inside EW folder, still just plain text. Go in, change few values to match config from EU file and should be ok
Yep i forgot how frustrating it is to play vanilla, Im going to stop playing for a few months and wait for atleast a mod like this before playing again
Hey guys, I might have got it working. I simply replaced the defaultengine.ini file in "X:\Steam\SteamApps\common\XCom-Enemy-Unknown\XComGame\Config" with the defaultengine.mod by changing it to an .ini file and then backed up the original defaultengine.ini. I don't know 100% if it is working, but I'm playing on classic and the aliens seem to be critical shooting me WAY less and seem to be missing a lot more.
Umm. EW files are found under "..\common\XCom-Enemy-Unknown\XEW\XComGame\Config". And you should check for at least EW additions to the original DefaultEngine.INI file.
I tried to install it with the installer, but I noticed no difference in gameplay. So I checked the defaultenginecore.ini file against the .mod file for it and noticed the original file had not been changed. That's when I manually installed it. I also realised that doing this may have no effect on new EW units. I also checked the EW defaultenginecore file and noticed it didn't contain alot of the contents of the vanilla/mod defaultenginecore file, so I guessed that it must be still using the orginal xcom: eu defaultenginecore aswell as the ew one.

I was looking at the files and it has one that says without ufos. I downloaded it thinking it was a mod that only reverted the critical and aim buffs but the readme file suggested otherwise. Is it just an old reame file or did I missinterperate the file name?
I found another mod that removes the ai aim and crit values for classic but it just made my game crash This mod is my last hope but I really don't want to deviate from the default game too much with the ufo changes. What I really wanted was just those damn crits in classic gone.

How to DIY common mod solutions.
Bought the DLC and feeling a tad annoyed and regretful! Maybe someday this'll work again.

-Dubious-
But who knows, it could just be a placebo effect.
I'm holding off on playing until I can manage to get this mod working
