Are you using a pirated copy? They don't work with mods. Some of us don't use STEAM but the physical copy.... so back to my original question is there a work around? I find it puzzling why one would make a mode that needs a steam path... Piracy is not tolerated here. X-COM is a Steamworks game, and can only be played through Steam, so the only way to play it without Steam is through a pirated copy or through the use of cracks. And as stated, piracy is not tolerated on the Nexus. Therefore, you have been banned from the Nexus. You have the right to appeal the ban, granted you have proof of purchase. - Z
