Heya all. Once again, more questions from me. I downloaded the latest nightly, since I was still running off of base 1.0 and it occured to me I have no idea if this would require me to restart campaigns in progress or can I simply resume my war?

Most likely yes, since a lot of changes have happened since 1.0, but it also depends a lot on the mods you were using on your 1.0 campaign. The only way to know is to try loading the save and see what what happens.

I did that. Its actually mod depended and if no mods are active, then you are most likely ok. Best load a Geoscape save first though.

game loading should be fully backwards-compatible, assuming no mods were enabled. use a geoscape save for best results.

Hey only mods I have downloaded are shotgun and a sniper rifle mod installed. Oh and I have a few of the in-game mods already activated ( psionics requiring LoS and melee mode). If my game loads up should I assume it's functioning just fine?

yup. those mods should all still work with the current nightly as well.
