Optional Flirting Mod (LE3)

Important 1. 4. 1. 2 Update Note: I've integrated the LE3 Community Patch patch into the mod for built-in compatibility, to help reduce the number of patches in installation options (and to reduce the number of files to manage).

Overview

I've always found it frustrating that being friendly in ME3 tends to lead to fending off romantic interest from people you just want to be friends with, unless you race to lock in your love interest before spending quality time with anyone else. The former's annoying and the latter's a rather immersion breaking solution (not to mention not a solution for people who don't want to romance anyone).

This mod moves dialogue options that indicate romantic/flirty interest (in the code, at the very least) to the upper left of the dialogue wheel, while retaining a friendly non-flirt version on the upper right, so you have a choice between friendly, romantic, and aggressive/no-fun/renegade options. In romance specific dialogue, confirming/opting-in to the romance has also been moved to the upper left to try and be as consistent as possible. (Rejection options are still on the lower right.)

All romances are now opt-in from specifically choosing the "flirt" option with the character you're interested in multiple times rather than being assumed from Shepard being friendly. This especially applies to Steve Cortez, who in the unmodded version only requires MaleShep to be single for the game to head down the more romantic dialogue paths.

James Vega's scenes have been edited so that FemShep can be friendly and get the Lola nickname without all of the flirting that usually comes with it. (The flirting is still available, but FemShep has to flirt with him more than once in the "dance"/fight scene to establish that they have a flirty friendship.)

An unromanced Shepard will now only end up sleeping with Javik at the end of the Citadel Party if certain criteria is met: Javik was invited (for obvious reasons), Javik has 10+ Friendship points (earned from talking with him throughout the game), Javik was taken on the Casino mission, and Javik has been taken on 5 or more missions. (Friendship points and the number of missions Javik has been taken on can both be edited using the Trilogy Save Editor, if necessary.)

(While I've done as much testing as I could, I am but one blob in the void, so you run into any problems, please let me know!)
