Can I still play Vanilla & other mods once I install LTC?

LTC installs in its own folder and activates via a mod switch so it doesn't affect vanilla... though I see LTC as a superb rebalance mod that changes little of the original core of the game... I see it more as a sort of uber patch.

Anyway, providing none of the other mods you install change the original installation of MTW and use the mod switch you are fine.

Black Francis,

maybe you can answer this... I've realised that the majority of mods apart from LTC and UAI normaly install files in the M2TW data folder but they don't overwrite any vanilla files as far as I can see... Most files are new animations/trajectory/skins for their mods (SS,Darth...) but they still use mod switch... Do you think that this could cause conflicts with the vanilla and LTC normal operation ? Cheers!

If I remember correctly Darth and SS both use mod switch and install in the M2TW folder not the data folder and so don't change anything of the original vanilla. This is the same as LTC. They can all work side by side.

I've actually installed them in a separate directory and they do install files in the main M2TW data directory... that's why I was asking if that causes any conflicts with vanilla and LTC... they are not very clear on their threads

I honestly don't know for sure. If you are installing them as directed you should have no problems. If you start putting them in the same folder I dread to think what may happen.

I had Darth, SS and LTC all installed at once and had no problems personally. If they put stuff in the M2TW/DATA folder and not the usual M2TW/Modnamehere folder I never noticed anything drastic.

What I would love to see is a version of Kings Banner compatible with LTC...
