[XCOM 2] Mod index

[Guest]

I'm not a modder, so I have no experience in the field, but I wanted to ask why making Lewd mods for Xcom 2 seems to be... difficult? As far as I understand, there were two attempts at actual sex mods - Lewdcom by WishyWashWosh, and an aborted attempt by Muthsera/Zerogravitas to make an overhaul which was cancelled very early on. Xcom 2 has the capacity for paired animations and is a very popular game, running of Unity 3.5 (albeit heavily modified by Firaxis). We have had several really good things released, but only two stabs at integrating sex.

Just curious.

I guess they went back to lewd modding Skyrim, lol.

A friend of mine gathered some info on a continuation of LewdCom. Sort of. Please don't get your hopes up as the mod is marked abandoned for various reasons below. Two-man dev, one of which is a famous Monster x Girls illustrator named ZeroGravitas.

 

TL;DR
The XCOM project is not worth it, mainly because:
- Engine limitations on animations and meshes
- Complete rework of the animation side of things if they want to add ZG's heroine's faces (as an example, Sam's)
- (At the time of uploading, last August) It was too costly even for ZG to cover it (Our Gigachad pays for the project from his pocket)
- The fundamentals are great, but way too ambitious. They mod whilst learning the quirks of XCOM2's engine, so naturally, it took them more time than projected.

What they had implemented:
- The Alpha Spider and his minions are done (complete with SFX and animation work)
- New voice work for female recruits
- [Planned] Adding NSFW shell (the main menu scene) to the game and some other NSFW mechanics
- A whole new Alien Abduction event (just like the Ayy ones but now with Alpha Spider, double the fun!)
- [Planned, I think] Cleaning up potential victims of Alpha Spider on the Avenger if they survive the ordeal with the spiders, with the help of their squadmates or themselves.

Does anyone have any clue where I could get this minidress/nightie/whatever cosmetic in the first two images of this mod? The author says they don't know where it comes from among their 200 clothing mods XD

That looks like Kaine's outfit from Nier: Replicant/ Gestalt (2B can wear it in Automata as well), so looking for that might be a good place to start narrowing it down)

It is pretty neat to see it being used it with no leg-wear wink wink

What the heck is this Alpha Spider they are talking about?

I'm also having this issue. I'll let you know if I figure out which mod's causing it.

 

EDIT: Okay I figured it out by looking at the logs that I thought might mess with enemy damage. The mod "Enslaved" By Mushano included in the above list is out of date. It doesn't play well in WOTC with community highlander, and causes a crash whenever you atttack enemies. They uploaded an updated version named "Conquest" for WOTC which you can find in their post here, and I've also attached their zip.

 

I have no idea if it works since it's kind of old, and I haven't tested it extensively but it at least doesn't crash the game whenever you attack any enemy.

Conquest.zip 104.12 kB · 129 downloads

 

Can anyone tell me about this mod? Like what exactly does it do?

That's a new enemy type proposed by ZeroGravitas and one other modder who I don't know their name were. The creature is already in the playable state as well.

 

You can check out ZeroGravitas on either Pixiv or Patreon so the context fits.

Guys, this is my first time installing mods from a pack that was dropped here, can you tell me how to do this? The guide on how to do this on the first page doesn't work, so I decided to ask you this question.

You just have to use the alternative mod launcher (https://github.com/X2CommunityCore/xcom2-launcher/releases/tag/v1.5.1) , read its installation instructions and you will be good to go, here: https://github.com/X2CommunityCore/xcom2-launcher/wiki/Installation

This is the mods directory for WOTC. If you downloaded the files from here or Nexus, just put them here. You'll have to use what Gamaroguar told you to do. It helps to deal with mods that weren't meant for WOTC. Really good mod manager/launcher if I say so myself.

 

I don't want to be the preacher for game ownership, but I don't think AML works with illegal copies unless someone had tried to do so themselves, which I'm not sure if that's been done lately. I'm using Steam (yes, yes, like many a plebe starting their game journey) so nowadays it's probably the best time to buy a copy. The bundle is now sold at around $8 (the same goes for EGS). However, if you prefer GOG like the guy above me, you'll have to buy the pack separately. Considerably more expensive at least you own the rights to own it.

Hello everyone! How are you? Does anyone know anything about sex animation mods? Are there more animations out there? The scene os this picture for example.  It's from LewdCom mod. I don't if it is in the mod yet. Do you guys know about mods that bring sex animations to the game like this? Thanks in advance.

To make it work with an Epic or GoG version of the game you have to replace the steam_api64.dll from the one in the steam emulator here. https://mr_goldberg.gitlab.io/goldberg_emulator/  As it explained in AML's FAQ page.

If you have a borrowed copy of the game you can use the Vortex mod manager instead (very easy to use once you get use to it, though it doesn't detect overrides).

Thanks for the help. But I don't really get it. I mean, is he making a mod for Xcom 2? Or is it a new game? And of those stuff already implemented is it avaible for download? Thanks in advance.

I assume Zero Gravitas and the unknown game developer tried to mod XCOM 2 to "continue" where LewdCom left off. Those implementations are probably downloadable if you can gain access to Zero Gravitas' Discord server as there aren't many options to obtain those files. It probably will be a lost media, much like obscure modding communities.

 

It's a mod for XCOM 2 that may need to rework the game from the ground up, preferably so since they mentioned having trouble implementing new face presets into XCOM 2, especially animations.

Can't really go delving too deeply into NSFW sites right now, but if it's who I'm thinking of, they've done some really great CGs of female solders encountering "rape-y aliens." That would be awesome to see.

I won't hold out too much hope for it, though, as it's clearly difficult work and I'm not sure how much demand there is for lewd Xcom. 😔

Got it. I have the version which have one animation for the Berserker and one for the Sectoid. There is the option to replace the Lost model as well however it doesn't have animations. I believe that's the version that is widespread and avaible to everyone.

First If there's a compilation of files missing from my archive, please share the link with me, and I'll add it to my drive. (No idea what site you're storing those on) same as before, I'll create a new sorted folder for them within the drive.
 

I realize I never properly responded to this, and looking back, I'm gonna be a sensitive bitch about it. When I started this project, nearly all the mod links were dead. It took me many hours to track down each mod, sift through multiple versions (often with different file sizes and no explanations), and identify the most stable ones. I ended up creating a "Jessica's Recommendations" folder with the most reliable versions I could find, then I archived everything, including duplicates, in separate folders.
 

Interestingly, there were instances where the most recent link (or even the top few) wasn’t the most up-to-date or least buggy version. So, I archived everything I could. That way Instead of spending hours searching yourself, you can either sort through a few duplicates or just download my recommended pack. I was incredibly proud of putting that archive together, you're welcome bitches. (Okay, I feel better now. Love you guys! )

 

Do you know what mods that makes the game crash when browse this face Preset ?
This face is from WOTC_LL_Pack_v0.1.2.2

The project is already marked as abandoned between August and November 2023. It was way too costly.

This is different compared to LewdCom. It already has SFX work, fully-animated new enemies, etc. and it isn't related to the LewdCom project at all. I'm not sure whether you're mistaking this new project as part of LewdCom continuation.

 

So, it's like the continuation of LewdCom without tying its name to LewdCom. Yes, I'm fully aware the one you're using is the one that I probably use in the past.

Sad to hear, but understandable. Game modding doesn't generate as much money as creating games from scratch, either.

 

I was going to look into the zeroGravitas Discord, but I wasn't able to find it; subscriber-only, perhaps?

Yup. Subscribers-only. $6.50 per month grants you access to everything if you wish to spend money on something of a particular interest.
