@Wrath I had the same issue. The way to resolve it is via the XcomUI.ini file and set StripWoundedInventory=TRUE

I had this mod installed for ages and my soldiers still keep being unequipped when wounded . any ideas ? (LWOT)

About others pointing out highlander has a config for this. I have tried to uncomment it and that doesn't seem to help. My soldiers still unequip for covert ops and getting wounded. Will be trying this mod next.

@Epic Dovahkiin Thanks for pointing that out, been using the highlander for other mods for a while and somehow never noticed there were all those optional settings in the config.

@mrsenor5234: Yes.

@Jiopaba when you say uncomment, what does that mean? Remove the semicolon?

anyone got an idea to include "Make Utility Items Available" to take effect? god damn it, this button also remove some of weapons or armors. annoying as hell

@Epic Dovahkiin Nice thanks for that, I just removed the semicolons now I hope it'll work for me in the community highlander

the only thing i've noticed is training still removes items but that's a minor annoyance (as you won't really be training troops as often as you have wounded and covert ops)

@Ray community highlander (a requirement for this mod) already has options for this just uncomment (remove the semicolon) the lines bDontUnequipWhenWounded=true and bDontUnequipCovertOps=true in the XcomGame.ini

Does this still work? Quite a bit of comments saying this doesn't anymore

Hi ! I don't know why but I still have to re-equip my soldiers regulary (wich is a pain in the arse in the long run) even with this mod activated and a correct list of loading order.
Someone has the same issue?

@Rancho It should be in the [XComGame.UISquadSelect] group. And the ; in front of the text comment them out, so skip those, if adding manually.

@alex.krylov, if there are no line text,should add and will it be usful? ;NoStripWoundedInventory=true
;NoStripOnTraining=true
;AutoStripWoundedAllItems=true thank you

I searched for these damn files for over an hour. So many people, but no one can explain it normally!!!
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\268500\2683996590\Config
XComGame.ini - bDontUnequipCovertOps=true
XComUi.ini -
;NoStripWoundedInventory=true
;NoStripOnTraining=true
;AutoStripWoundedAllItems=true

By the way, the same option is available in the Community Highlander (a requirement for this mod anyway...) for those not using LWOTC. It's in the Highlander's XcomGame.ini

bDontUnequipWhenWounded = true ; Set to true to make soldier keep their gear when wounded
bDontUnequipCovertOps = true ; Uncomment to make soldiers on covert ops keep their gear even if ambush risk is 0

There's also an option to cap will loss on multi-part missions in there, which is nice.

asdron Thank you for this tip! For others looking, this will stop unquip utility on wounded, confirmed on restart. YourDrive:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\workshop\content\268500\2683996590\Config
unhide comment and change to true: NoStripWoundedInventory=true

Great work asdron. I had a thread years ago attempting to collect as many ini edits as I could. It gets daunting too when there's so many maybe you don't know what it changes.

Now all we need is a mod that minimizes the dress up portion of the game - I want to choose their look once and never look back, regardless of armor upgrades.

This mod suddenly stopped working for me too! ). I started looking for a solution and it seems I found it! In LWOTC, in the XcomUi.ini file, I found the following lines (by default they are generally commented out and the values are false). I uncommented and set the values to true.

NoStripWoundedInventory=true
NoStripOnTraining=true
AutoStripWoundedAllItems=true

Now my soldiers never take off their equipment when wounded. I think this mod is not needed then, but I haven’t disabled it yet.

the mod stop working, i dont know what could be conflicting with it, but its weird because i was using it some months ago withouth issue, and now after coming back to the game, it stoped working

Mod stops working after a while. Not sure if this is a conflict with another mod but just sharing my experience. Amazing when it does work.

It seemed to work at first but stopped working further into the campaign. Updated version please :((. It really is a must have QoL mod.

hero!

Doesn't seem to be working.
Shame, coz it's a great idea.

Why is this not part of core game?

As others have mentioned, mod seems to no longer be working

This MOD is not working with LWOTC, what a pity.

Wish this mod still worked. constant unequiping is annoying.

Stopped Working, which is a real shame.

Still not doing what it is supposed to. My troops get wounded, do conditioning, go into any kind of training and their main equipment is removed and replaced with generic junk.

it crashes my games

You're a godsend !
I was starting to lose my mind having to reequip my troops constantly !!

for long war of the chosen?

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

This mod is not working, its not doing whats its suppose to do even with AML.

Soldiers are still unequipping their items left n right.

If the mod does not work, move it as a local mod and use AML, that should force it to work. (In most cases like the ones from "A better series" mod.)

re Working, not Working
Does AML's order have anything to do with it?
When you unsub then resub, AML still keeps the old order.

Stops working once reaching a certain point in the campaign.

still not working

Yep, can confirm this no longer works.

Nah, it still ain't working even when I use it on a new game. :(

doesn't work anymore :(

Doesn't work for me either. Judging by the comments, this mod hasn't worked for a while now

Added mid-campaign. Doesn't seem to work for me. Not sure what it could be contradicting it.

Not working for me sadly.
And unsubscribing and resubscribing did nothing.

Can you add psi-lab to the list too? I use a mod that makes quite a number of soldiers regularly visiting it - they get the same problem with unequipping!

It works, all I have to do is unsubscribe - subscribe when i start a new campaign. As long as the resistance ring is built, i do that and everything's fine. Sometimes it stops working in the middle of a game. Again save and quit, unsubscribe - subscribe. That procedure works for me, hope it helps.

It worked when i installed it, and i was in the middle of a new game. When i started a new one it stopped working. I'll try to uninstall and reinstall the mod, maybe it works properly in the middle of a game. I'll give feedback when I'm done testing.

This is still working for me, unlike all the previous posters. I have some comments though. First, it would be nice if a mod would cause soldiers to NOT take auxiliary gear on missions. Mind shields, special grenades etc. I always have to check each soldier's loadout, which defeats this mod's advantage. Second, I have Samurai mod and for some reason the soldier constantly unequips her katana and gets a standard sword, even when not on covert. Third, I have found that there may be a reason why the game unequips weapons. Weapons (and armor) taken to a covert will not upgrade to next tier if the upgrade occurs while they're away. These weapons will never upgrade, so you're stuck with say a conventional assault rifle with mods which you will no longer use and have to give your soldier a new unmodded magnetic instead. On the long run I feel this is more annoying that the unequipping.

Me: Hoping I'll see a mod that automatically unequips everything from soldiers immediately after missions because the buttons in pre-mission don't always work right.
Workshop: shows me this, which i'm frankly surprised exists.
