COMPATIBILITY
This mod requires 55tumbl's Private Message Terminal (LE1).
Fully compatible with any other email mod working off this framework, as of publishing.
As far as I know, there should not be any game-breaking compatibility issues with other mods. If you have mods that alter plot variables, there may be narrative inconsistencies, as this mod was written to supplement the vanilla story.
Known narrative inconsistency with Virmire Savior mod. Won't break the game, but might break your immersion.
I would highly recommend having Mgamerz' updated Pinnacle Station DLC installed, as some emails pertain to that - although should make sense without it.

SPECIAL THANKS
To 55tumbl for creating the Private Message Terminal as well as providing a guide for newbie modders like myself; without which I would not have been able to produce this.
Thank you also to everyone who gave suggestions and provided inspiration.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 1,474 endorsements and over 54k downloads
- Fills a narrative gap by bringing LE1's email system in line with later games
- Lightweight story addition that enhances immersion without overhauling gameplay
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in July 2023, so it may not be compatible with future patches
- Only affects LE1, so players expecting changes across the whole trilogy will be disappointed
For Mass Effect fans who want deeper lore and more organic storytelling in the first game. If you're a completionist who loves reading codex entries and emails, this is a must-have. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes or visual overhauls—this is purely narrative.
