A mod I got from the steam workshop stops the console from working

So I got a mod from the steam workshop and enabling it causes almost all console commands (native to the game) to be not recognized. I'm using Alternative Mod Launcher and have -allowconsole in the settings. Console commands from mods work fine. It's a mod I really want to use, but I want to have access to console commands. I dont like losing my soldiers and I don't care to grind if I don't need to. Unfortunately the mod was only uploaded because the original creator never released this version. So asking for an update is impossible. The mod itself does add console commands which might not be set up right to allow game commands to be used. If removing them and removing anything that calls to the file they're in would likely fix it, then that's what I would try to do.
 
I know it might not seem to be worth it, but I can't play without the mod. So if there's someone out there who could help me figure things out I would greatly appreciate it. If you'd want to help me with this, a DM would be best to not make this topic longer than it needs to be. I do have the modding tools installed.
 
Thanks.

Which mod is it? I'd be no use in helping you use the SDK but maybe I can help otherwise.

It's called XSoldier. Warning, it is a NSFW mod. The mod was uploaded in a .pak file instead of being extracted. I was able to use 7-zip just fine. All the source scripts are there so that's not a problem. If you can help me in any way, I would immensely grateful. Like I said, getting support from the original creator or the person who uploaded it is impossible.

Oh yeah, that one. I thought it might be one of Fireborn's mods. From what I recall XSoldier had its own website, I guess that's not there any more? I dunno how active the XCOM 2 community is over there but Lover's Lab had some XCOM 2 mods and that's the natural home for NSFW stuff.

I've not heard of a mod disabling the console before though. I'd assume that's some kind of script it's running, and the only way to edit that would be with the SDK. One thing would be looking in the mod's XComEngine.ini and seeing what ModClassOverrides it defines, commenting one out (use a ; ) may help if it's related to disabling the console. I really don't know though, never heard of this problem before.

Yeah the website has been having issues lately, but that doesn't really matter as the creator of the mod has left. I don't see anything in the XComEngine.ini that would matter. Most of it is already commented out so only 2 lines do anything and neither look like they would do anything weird. I'll ask over at LL to see if they can help me. Thanks.

Good luck. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

So I'm pretty sure LL isn't going to be any help. But the other website was up today and I might have found a comment there that's extremely helpful. They theorized that the cheats file for the mod is outdated and is based off of an old template. Would you possibly have some idea as to how I can fix it? I don't actually need the mod's cheats if the mod itself doesn't need them. So if I could just remove the file that'd work for me.

Sorry I'm not sure what "the cheats file" is? Something loaded into Cheat Engine? Not really something I know anything about I'm afraid. I'd say try without it, worst case it's not working but not working in a different way

No it's nothing like that. The mod comes with some scripts that add cheats to the game that deal with parts of the mod. If I knew how to build the mod without that file I'd try it like that but I know nothing about the SDK to know where to start.
