To add, I've tested it with 2 different species from 2 different mods, and neither worked, so I THINK its a problem in all of AU but maybe its just those two (Dragons and Khajiit).

I've been running into an issue when trying to use the console to change an Allies Unknown character's class into a different one. Admittedly, I haven't used the console much so this could be me missing something critical, but it seems to be working when I try to change a human's class, but not when I do a non-human's (and I'm not talking the aliens where they have a set class that is their species). If anyone has any advice, I'd love to hear it.

Is it possible to have several character templates for one species?
For example if i have several character templates with different archetypes of one character group like mutons.

Is there any mod/file that simply offers the cosmetics so I could cosmetically build the ones I want while still essentially remaining xcom units?

Muton's completely broken for me. They're invisible and when i enter a mission with one they don't actually exist, despite being able to tab over to them.

is there any chance one can make sure certain chars are also certain classes for the character pool? I already used some of the races previously and usually enjoy certain chars to be a specific class. I can determine them as rookies via GTS but otherwise since the character pool cannot change it they are random classes everytime when gotten mid campaign

Hey, i have a problem. For some reason, the "Spectres" orders page, in the council, does not appear. And i dont know why. it was there before, but now on my seccond and third playthrough its just gone. Why?

Came in with the same question @fatmanfalling -- thank you for finding out AND posting your answer! I'm loving this mod with even just the basic Mass Effect species added. It integrates very well!

I answered my own question
It's in this Ini file right here "XComExtraspecies"

is there a way to increase the amount of nonhumans offered every month?

So why is it that no e of the soldiers you buy in the grey market show up in your roster?

Does anyone know how to force an Alien Allies character to their species class? I have the Clone Classes mod, which I think messes with this mods base classes, and now most of my Alien soldiers are of the wrong class. However using the MakeASoldierClass command doesn't seem to work on any of the Alien Allies characters(the command works fine on regular human characters). Is there any way around this?

Any chance of LWOTC version of this mod?

Figured it out, the soldier spawned by finding the HQ is triggering the unfortunate "UI locks up on promoting a rookie to a soldier" bug. Now I just need to isolate which class I'm using is bugged and set the promotion movie flag to 'false'.

Alas, I've tried the CompleteCurrentCovertAction command, restarting the game, and half the commands in the Debug Menu, but I cannot seem to resolve this bug on my own. After the action completes and I click through the menu, the game hides the UI like a cutscene is playing, but nothing happens and the game just stays there on the geoscape, softlocked.

does anyone know how to turn off the new faction?

I want the other XCom species, not every damn ME3 alien race, but Vipers are the only ones that exist?

So, this doesn't come with any playable races on it's own and is just the framework for all the other race mods then?

Having the opposite problem everybody else seems to have. I can recruit aliens just fine every month, but there hasn't been any new human recruits since my game start and I'm well into the second year at this point. I double checked and this is the only mod I have conflicting with LWotC that screws around with UIRecruitSoldiers.

Question: Does these alien addons work with LWotC?

Same problem as Landrick

So far none of the alien species in this mod have shown up or have been available in my playthrough so far, so I'm wondering when they're supposed to show up.

Recently the mod has been having problems loading with the game is there any fix to this known right now?

Question: I tried checking the ini files. is it possible to disable the Grey Market and non-alien recruit elements, and leaving only way to get them via the Faction?

Does anybody know if it's possible to associate the Spectres with a particular alien and/or class (e.g. like the standard factions are associated with a particular class)?

I cant recruit any aliens elp

so how do I have my Allies unknown character appear in my game from the character pool?
(I'm using the Viper one)

Does this work alongside Psionics ex Machine and the missions where you get Meld?
cause when I booted up the game it had the mission but no picture or words on what they say

Says there is no one to recruit, any fix?

Am I the only one who can't seem to find salarians to add in?? Can someone help me?

I would like to second @Yuriohs's question, and know if it's possible to somehow disable the default faction ("Spectres"), since I intend to play with another mod that adds a different, compatible faction.

5 resistance factions would make the game significantly easier than I want it to be.

Thank you for advice, and sharing this wonderful mod with us.

Is this compatible with "Rising Tides: The program" mod?

How can I remove new units and a faction from the game if I took this mod as an auxiliary one for another, but I don’t need characters from Mass Effect? Both enemies and friends...

Just finished a campaign with about 685 mods, this one included, and had no major issues! Thanks for putting this up.

Do i have to wait one of my Sangheili in my Character pool to show up for recruit or dependent on RNG?

dumb question, but is there a way to prioritise characters saved in the character pool for the free unit, or is the free unit always a draw from the lottery of the universe?

So are the Allies Unknown mods compatible with RPGO?

@ Lux unlike the other 3 factions, there is no unique enemy Chosen tied to the Spectre "faction" so you can just ignore it, or reskin it if you go into the files yourself.

@kazuya

There is a mod that changes the faction name to Spectres

Can you please make a replacement mod for this mod and replace it with the council from mass effect?

lucky for me, I've more save files stretching multiple runs than I care to count, so getting them back shouldn't be TOO hard.

I've just learned the hard way that disabling species mods will purge any non-human soldiers of said species from your pool. not only that but apparently, making a soldier in the character pool will not provide the abilities of the respective species.

I keep getting an unskippable mission from the spectres and that mission will not load. Any suggestions?

Anyone know of a way to disable the specters? Trying to do a halo run without having that there. No big deal really just wanted to know if there was a way I was missing.

This is a godsend mod btw, thank you creators for this.

is this and its submods compatible with long war of the chosen?

you could always just make more in your character pool, so they will eventually show up in the default recruitment menu.

Can something be changed so that more variety of non-human recruitment appears?

It's just that I never have Turians, or Asaris...

sounds like a bug on your end.

you should always have access to (buy) recruit (endless amounts of humans) from the avenger menu.
each month the list adds new recruits, so if that isn't happening for you, you should consider deleting your game config folder.
but first, try waiting til next month and see if more are available for purchase.

Ech.. I guess it's hard.. If I had tons of recruits there, I wouldn't ask what to do when I don't have any. Except for a few at the start. My character pool is full, but still I don't get any humans recruit in armory. I can't recruit any human there. Only non-human in non-human recruits menu..

no. go into avenger's armory and click the recruits menu. you get a ton of recruits to choose from here (the ones you save to character pool can show up here too)
