📋 About This Mod

This mod allow you to change Import Bonus Reward amount and 2ndPlaythrough Bonus amount.

The idea of this mod comes from reading some forum topic when people was complaining that in last patch it was changed (before patch it was just limited to 10% of all credits so it was possible to get 1. 000. 000 and from latest patch you can get max 100. 000 ). General consensus on that topic was that 500. 000 is most balanced in early game progression. With such amount you can make some good shopping at beginning and when game progress you will need earn credits to do next buys. With default 100k many upgrades may be only reachable before end of game. Mod offers increase of that Reward to 300k, 500k or 1000k (choose version what you want ).

In game there is also reward for 2ndPlaythrough (+200. 000 ) and you can also change that (versions with: 0 reward, 400k reward, 900k reward ).

This mod is in optional download section.

You can install both mods or only one (remember that rewards will stack when you importing from Mass Effect 1 ).

OPTIONS for Import Bonus Reward  - in Original Edition of ME1 to get this there was requirement to get Rich achievement - it was getting over 1. 000. 000 credits and when game recognize it (not always instantly sometimes some minutes was needed ) you could spend that money and end game with less than 1. 000. 000 and still get Import Bonus Reward. In Legendary Edition there is no Rich Achievement but mechanism rather work similar (I don't find exact answer in Web and I couldn't tested it because I have only end game Saves from ME1 Original Edition what can't been use in Legendary Edition ). For certain if you finish ME1 Legendary Edition with more than 1. 000. 000 - you will get this Import Bonus Reward (I am not only 100% sure of situation when you reached 1. 000. 000 and then spend it and finish game with less amount than 1. 000. 000 - theoretically you should get 100% of credits what you have when finished ME1 and max amount will be what version you choose - 300k/500k/1000k ).

-500. 000 - Most recommended if you don't getting 2nd Playthrough Reward.

-300. 000  - This option for example can be used if you also will get achievement from 2nd playthrough of ME2 what is +200. 000 (because it will stack ). Although you can choose 500. 000 and "0" version for 2ndPlaythrough especially if you don't have idea if game will give you 2nd Playthrough Reward.

-1. 000. 000 - This was value what we get before last update of Legendary Edition. Definitely you are pretty rich with this and it definitely eliminate most need of grinding credits.

OPTIONS for 2nd Playthrough Reward  - default in game it is 200. 000. This is for 2nd and every other playthrough. If game is imported from ME1 then it stack with Import Bonus Credits (this is 100k or more with mod ) and normal bonus credits (20k-50k ).

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure you have a Mass Effect 1 save file in the Legendary Edition folder before importing—this mod only works with an existing save.

  • If you're using a mod manager, install this mod after any other ME2 mods to avoid conflicts with save files.
