Description:

Ever feel betrayed by Ever Vigilant forcing your hand?
This mod gives you control over when it is allowed to trigger.
Now you have the freedom to take Ever Vigilant, without the shackles.

Features
  • Adds a toggle ability for soldiers with Ever Vigilant
    Units without Ever Vigilant are unaffected
  • Enable or disable Ever Vigilant on demand
  • Lightweight and compatibility-friendly; no overrides or hard dependencies
  • Localized in all the major languages
  • Can be added mid-campaign (don’t add during tactical, to be safe)

Take the ability. It can trap you no longer.


Configure Anything
  • Choose if the toggle can be controlled after moving (default: enabled)
    No, this does not force you to manually end all turns, either!
  • Choose if the toggle disappears on invalidated + AP-spent units (default: enabled)
    Allows their HUD to stay static while in use & for tab to ignore invalidated+spent units
  • Choose if last toggle choice persists between missions (default: enabled)
  • Choose the default toggle state (default: inactive but persists)
  • Add a buff icon when Ever Vigilant is pending (default: enabled)
  • Show a banner and/or flyover when Ever Vigilant is pending (default: enabled)
  • Show a banner and/or flyover when a pended one is invalidated (default: enabled)
    This keeps you aware and helps reveal which actions invalidate Ever Vigilant
    Add any ability to Ever Vigilant Redux’s XComGame.INI to prevent the invalidation


Why This Matters

Vanilla Ever Vigilant is all-or-nothing. If a unit ends its turn after spending all AP, overwatch happens – whether you want it or not. That can be disastrous in sensitive situations: mind control edge cases, positioning traps, or moments where keeping safeties on matters more than taking a reaction shot.

This mod lets you suppress Ever Vigilant when restraint is the better tactical call, then re-enable it when overwatch pressure is actually desirable. It even comes with various UX features.

Ever Vigilant becomes an option, not an obligation.

I highly suggest Merist’s [WOTC] Reliable Ever Vigilant Redux.
Also compatible with Veehementia’s [WOTC] Reliable Ever Vigilant.
Please give a 👍 if you like the mod – thanks!
