My favorite XCOM 2 mods basically make the game a Star Wars rebellion game.

It's actually really fun to have a bunch of clone rebels taking the fight to the empire. Or it was. I buggered something so all I have working now are the armories, so it's more a bunch of clone troopers are helping the resistance against the aliens. Still fun.

I stopped playing XCOM 1. I had a squad of heavies in mech suits and everything. My perfect team for this mission. A bug hunt in newfoundland. Something about chrysalids in a whaling town. Everyone still died. I managed to get one guy out, everyone else died ammo spent and brass bloody. But it's the one level I can't bring myself to try again

XCOM 1 was my introduction to the series, and those damned chryssalids nearly broke me.

I used a clone trooper mod for one run, and it was lots of fun. The only drawback was that I couldn't remember who was who, since they all looked the same.
