📋 About This Mod

Changes:

Removes all references to the death of Ashley or Kaidan in all of ME2. Adds a new temporary squadmate to Horizon so both survivors have content during the game (hope to expand this later on). The survivor with the closer relationship will be the one to appear in cutscenes while the other will be the squadmate.

NOTE: Ashley or Kaidan will join your squad automatically on Horizon after choosing the other squadmate due to issues editing the squad selection screen. Dialogue Audio is not present currently as well, I hope to change this in the future.

ANY BUG REPORT WITHOUT AN ME3TWEAKS LOG WILL BE IGNORED..

Compatibility:

At the moment, this mod has no compatibility issues. A patch for Lighting Restoration (LE2) is included.

Installation:

Download with Mod Manager, or drag the 7 zip file into the ME3Tweaks Mod manager, install, then apply.
