Hi,
It is some years since played X3TC.I have upgraded to Ver 3.2
I would like to add a MOD to extend my playing however I found 2 Mods.

and

X-Tended -Terran Conflict V2.2 Released. [06/09/2013] (X3:AP prototype available)

Could you please tell me which one to Install?

Thanks

As I understand, XRM allows you to continue an existing savegame. The XTC will however require you to start over completely on a new map of the galaxy. If that makes a difference for you.

Hi enenra,
Thank you. To get the best of both I shall do as you say:
Install XRM first to just expand my current gameplay.

Much much later install XTC.

Actually one of the first lines on the XRM page is:

"NOTE - XRM REQUIRES A GAME RESTART"

I haven't tried it though...

Yes, the XRM requires a new game.

Personally, I've played XRM for the last year or two and would never play X3 without it again. Additionally, many scripts and mods continue to work with XRM--I'm not sure the same can be said for XTC.
