📋 About This Mod
This is a port of my XP Rescale mod for the original Mass Effect game.
FEATURES
-
[]The amount of XP required to reach any given level has not been modified. Current level and current total XP in a save file will thus always be consistent, with or without the mod.
- [
-
[]Up to level 15, there are no differences with vanilla. After level 15, the amount of XP received progressively increases with respect to vanilla, but the difference will mostly be noticeable after level 45-50.
- [
OPTIONS
-
[]Quick Run. Reaching level 60 roughly corresponds to reaching level 45 in vanilla. This should allow you to reach max level in a quick playthrough, where many side missions are skipped. You will keep leveling up almost as fast as in the very beginning of the game, so this may feel very cheaty.

-
[]Default. Reaching level 60 roughly corresponds to reaching level 55 in vanilla. Reaching max level requires completing most of the game, but still leaves a pretty comfortable margin for skipping a few things here and there.
- [
Note that the Casual option used to be the default in my mod for the original game. The new default corresponds to the previously named "Completionist" option, since the Legendary Edition gives by default the +20% XP bonuses that were linked to achievements in the orginal game, and removes the Mako XP penalty.

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust: 4,247 endorsements and 124k downloads show it's a go-to for many players.
- Solves the classic 'grind to max level' problem—you can actually see everything in one run.
- Simple concept, no bloat: just XP scaling, no other gameplay changes to mess with.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects XP gain—if you wanted rebalanced combat or loot, this isn't it.
- Last updated July 2024—might not be tested with the latest patches, though LE1 is stable.
For Mass Effect players who hate grinding and want to hit max level without repeating missions. Also great for completionists who want to unlock all abilities and upgrades in a single playthrough. Skip if you're fine with the vanilla XP curve or want more comprehensive gameplay overhauls.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a simple mod, just drop the files into your MELE mod folder—no need for a mod manager, but using one like ME3Tweaks Mod Manager can help with load order.
- If you're using other gameplay mods, install XP Rescale last to avoid conflicts with XP-related changes.
- Test on a new save first to see how the XP curve feels—you might level faster than you expect.
