Any good but fast-paced mods out there?(Feedback about pacing+request)

So, recently I enjoyed a great mod from Dioxine which called XPiratez. But I am playing it for few months now. I am playing it at home, I am playing it on mobile, I am playing it on the road and when at rest. I Really want it to end some day at this point. Not because its bad, but because its like War And Peace. I guess it will take too much time to get familiar with other mods. So, I wonder if there are mods which  significantly shorter than others. Also, are there any mods which make other mods science progress and tech costs lower?

Also: How do you people feel about pacing in mods? Are there a lot of people who are actually enjoying long mods? Is there anybody interested in a shorter span mods?

I haven't tried this mod out yet, but perhaps it would be to your liking as it is described by the author as a short game?

I am one such person.

Not OpenXcom, but I enjoyed Long War 2 and will go back to finishing that campaign one day.

You can take a break and return to it after a while.
