The game is addicting and reaches new heights in the 'sandbox' genre. And, I still enjoy it, unmodded, even without CODEA and some useful script mods I could run. I love mods for all games and have been playing the same X3TC game, unmodded, for over a year, now. X3TC as it is, with the Bonus Pack, is a game that really doesn't need any 'total conversion' mods in order to reach its full potential. Can be downloaded from Egosoft in the above link. XTended - Probably a good recommendation for a full conversion. It's a 'must have' mod for anyone who wants to run a large trade empire. īonus Pack - This add-on, actually a mod, is 'vanilla safe', won't tag your game, and has some of the most useful scripts in the entire game. Vanilla Safe mod recommendations - Here are some 'vanilla safe' mods that I would recommend for anyone who has trouble with framerate issues in asteroid fields, near large station complexes, or just wants to make some small changes to their game without getting the 'modded' attribute. I would also be inclined to install one of the Race Combat and Sector Claim mods that are out there, as long as they were compatible and seemed to be well regarded. (This is not the latest thread, do a search to find the newest thread.)Ĭapture Stations, Marine Hacking, Marine Repairs - Links to the mods available in this thread. CODEA is not 'vanilla friendly' and will give your game the 'modded' attribute, which prevents you from uploading stats and the like, but otherwise doesn't effect gameplay. I've got it downloaded and waiting for that moment when I decide that running 'vanilla' isn't enough for me anymore. But, of all the mods that are out there, and there are many of them, the only ones that I am considering are:ĬODEA - An absolute must-have for anyone who wants to run large combat and defense fleets, especially with carriers and lots of fighter support.

As it is, I run X3TC unmodded, right now. What are the best mods for x3?If you're looking for a 'total conversion', I can't help.
