Can we bring the SWI ships into the Vanilla X4: Foundations?
No. SWI is a total conversion mod and all aspects of design and balance wouldn't translate to vanilla.
Can we have any new character models - I wanna see some stormtroopers?
Unfortunately, No. There are no modding tools for character models for X4.
The models are in an abandoned proprietary format. X5 expects to change this to an open pipeline like ship models are now.
What are Katanas, and how can I find them?
This information is classified. We are currently working on decrypting a message, in hopes of uncovering the answer.
What is a "Battle Donut"?
What is a "Space Dorito" or "Space Triangle"?
Google Drive isn't letting me download! It says there are too many downloads? what do I do?!?
If there is a high volume of downloads through Google Drive, wait up to 12 hours or download through Nexus.
I've downloaded through Nexus and it isn't working? What do I do?!?
Nexus may take more than one attempt to download a complete file.
Make sure to use an up to date version of 7zip or WinRAR to extract the SWI download. Old versions or other tools often fail.
I'm coming back after XXX amount of time and there is a new DLC? do I need it?
Yes, all major expansion DLCs are required to play the current SWI version.
Currently this means Split Vendetta, Cradle of Humanity, Tides of Avarice, Kingdom End, and Timelines.Hyperion and Envoy ship packs are not required.
Old versions of SWI are available on Nexus that do not require some of the expansions.
I've got all 5 DLCs, downloaded the mod, extracted it correctly and verified the files are correct, but the game still wont run SWI? What do I do?!?
Make sure your version of X4 matches the version of SWI you downloaded. The Nexus downloads section labels it clearly.
Does my previous save work on the current update?
Saves compatibility is listed in the Nexus downloads section.
Generally saves are compatible within major versions, but not always.A 0.80 save is compatible with 0.83. A 0.73 is not compatible with 0.80. Etc.
Does XXX mod work with the current update? Does anyone know? What do I do?!?
It probably doesn't; X4 updates often break mods.
Check with the author unless they have updated since this newest release.
