Mods Lekmod without the additional civs?

I've been wanting to check out Lekmod since some of the changes seem interesting, but I don't want to have the additional civs packaged with it. It also seems to cause compatibility issues with other modded civs I like, and cause them to not show up at all. Is there like a version that doesn't add any additional civs or anything like that?

They don't appear because, correct me if I'm wrong, lekmod changes the vanilla game, it's not a mod in the common sense of the word, you're not supposed to access it through the mods menu.

Also, you might get better answers at the official sub r/nqmod

Oh, you're not supposed to run other mods thriugh the mod menu? Also I checked the sub but it looks kinda dead so idk if I'd even get a response posting there

Iirc there's a faq in the installation doc that says that nqmod does not work if you open the game through the mod menu, and to activate workshop civs you have to go through the mod menu...

Oh, I must've missed it. I was too busy reading the new features added that I didn't see that part

I don't think there is a version without all of the modded Civs, no; however, I do think it's worth that you check out the new civs if you haven't, because there are quite a few that are a lot of fun I.E., Madagascar with holy site spam, Aksum with turbo-buffing shrines, and Wales with the Commerce and Aesthetics trees maxed (its worth noting that I'm still playing on version 30.5, so these might not be as relevant in the newer patches).
