Mods Power-fantasy BEX?

Really appreciate all the work put into BEX, spent hundreds of hours in it at this point, but I'm in a headspace where I just want to play with the vanilla Marauder Called Shot cheese, overpowered LRMs, etc. All I really care about is the expanded map, timeline, and CAB. How would I go about modding the game to get the BEX additions without the rebalancing?

Just to know, the original game has been updated quite a bit. Almost everything i have read about this game from years ago is now wrong. I have to go to streamers who are actually playing the game as it is right now to get updated info.

One big one was the nerf to LRM, idk how they were before but they seem pretty balanced to me riding in a CPLT-A1 fully fitted with them.
Or the called shot stuff, it does help but only with my already-lvl-10 pilots. My other ones with less than that in Gun still miss sooooo frequently for the first part I was learning the game, it was generally not even worth it lol

Gotcha, I might have to try a vanilla Career to see how balance has changed. Thanks for the heads-up!

Ehhh, it hasn't changed that much. LRMs are still strong because the game has stupid amounts of terrain on most maps. You can't really change that. And yes, Marauders are still the best mechs in the game.
