📋 About This Mod
In this beginner friendly guide I will explain how to install Legendary Edition mods to have an amazing Mass Effect experience.
I carefully selected mods that are lore-friendly and don't stray too far away from established Mass Effect lore. By following this guide your game will contain more Mass Effect content to explore, combat will be overhauled and streamlined, graphics will be improved and there will be more character customization options, higher variety of weapons, armors, clothes and general improvements present in your game, making your next Mass Effect playthrough much more enjoyable.
I selected mods that don't harm performance too much so this mod list can be used on any PC, as long as you can run vanilla Legendary Edition fine.
Q: How long does it take to complete this guide?
A: Around one hour for each game, so three hours in total.
Q: How many mods are listed in this guide?
A: 60+ for Mass Effect, 90+ for Mass Effect 2 and 80+ for Mass Effect 3, so 230+ mods in total!
Q: I want to mod cracked version, can you help me?
Q: Can I use this guide with a low-end PC?
A: Yes. I selected mods that don't tank performance.
Q: Why is Mass Effect 3 mod list described as Partially Lore-Friendly?
A: It includes Happy Ending Mod and Citadel Epilogue Mod, both of which are not part of Mass Effect canon.
Q: Do I really need to buy RTGI shader to enjoy this mod list to the fullest?
A: No. Plus, I don't think RTGI adds that much to the game to begin with, hence it is listed as an optional feature to install.
Q: Can I use other/unlisted mods with this guide?
