LE2 Prologue Framework

LE2 Prologue Framework

This mod makes changes to the way the game will load assets during the very first part of the game (the opening scene through to departing Minuteman Station). It means that certain NPCs will load from their own unique files, improving compatibility between mods and reducing the need for patches.

Installing this on its own will not result in any visible differences. It is a framework for other mod developers to use as a baseline so that their mods work together. Those mods will mark this framework as required.

This mod works the same way as the streaming framework in the LE3 Community Patch, though it is more targeted in scope.

Please read this article for detailed information on how to use the framework.

Installation and Compatibility

Import the . 7z file into ME3Tweaks Mod Manager.  Apply the mod to the game.

This mod requires the Unofficial LE2 Patch, version 0. 9. 5. 2 or later. You must install the Unofficial LE2 Patch first.

Using prologue mods built for this framework and mods which were not at the same time will not work and will break your game. The changes the framework makes to the way files are loaded and what they contain are very invasive. Using incompatible mods won't just override or break things, they have a good chance of landing you in a softlock.

I will attempt to keep this list up to date but always defer to the information on the mod page. There will be a period of transition as mod devs consider whether they want to make use of the framework and update their mods if so.
