Fight Institutional Sexual Harassment! Your fish shouldn't suffer for your unwillingness to sleep with your secretary!
This mod ensures Kelly Chambers will appear in the refugee camp on the Citadel in ME3 and return your fish as long as she survived the Suicide Mission in ME2. Flirting with her and inviting her up to dinner is no longer required. Dialogue has been edited to reflect whether Shepard and Kelly have a platonic, flirtatious or romantic relationship. This includes some streamlining of flirtatious vs romantic lines not present in the vanilla game.
Additionally, the Prejek Paddlefish intel no longer requires an ME3 NG+ and will be unlocked provided you owned a live Prejek Paddlefish at the end of ME2.
This mod is for Mass Effect 3 - Legendary Edition (LE3).
Installation and Compatibility
Import the . 7z file into ME3Tweaks Mod Manager 7. 0+. Apply the mod to the game. Play the game.
This mod is compatible with the LE3 Community Patch and Framework. Install the Community Patch and/or Framework before FISH mod and this will be automatically patched on install.
This mod is compatible with Conrad No Apology v1. 2 (or higher) and does not require a patch.
This mod is compatible with Kelly Returns and does not require a patch.
This mod is compatible with the Optional Flirting Mod v1. 3 (or higher) providing you use the patch that mod provides.
This mod is included in Project Variety.
This mod is for the English localisation of the game only. If you use this mod with other languages, Kelly should still show up for you and return your fish, but her dialogue and/or ambients will not be correctly edited to reflect romance status, nor will you receive the Prejek Paddlefish Intel Bonus on a first playthrough. The same thing will likely happen with any other mod that includes the following files (and which are not specifically noted as being compatible):
BioD_CitHub_UnderbellyP2_LOC_INT.pcc
BioD_CitHub_UnderbellyP3_LOC_INT.pcc

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 2,187 endorsements and 61,021 downloads.
- Fixes a minor but annoying oversight for players who want their fish back without the romance.
- Simple and focused—does exactly what it says with no extra bloat.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects Mass Effect 3 Legendary Edition, not the original trilogy.
- Requires Kelly to survive the Suicide Mission, so it's useless if she died.
For Mass Effect Legendary Edition players who want to keep their fish collection without having to flirt with Kelly. Perfect for completionists and role-players who prefer a platonic relationship with Kelly but still want the fish. Skip if you're fine with the original dinner requirement or if Kelly never survives your playthroughs.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you're using the Legendary Edition, not the original ME3—this mod won't work on the old version.
- If you're using a mod manager like ME3Tweaks Mod Manager, just drop the mod in and let it handle the install.
- Check that Kelly survived the Suicide Mission in your save file—otherwise the mod won't trigger.
