📋 About This Mod
Parts 1 and 2 make up the original base mod by user-domain-error, FULL credit goes to her for these parts of the mod! I was given her permission to include those files on her behalf. Part 3 is the DLC addition that I put together.
This mod was created with the newest version of ME3 explorer, v0108. You must use this version in order for the mod to work. Download it here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/me3explorer/
Installation instructions can be found here:

However since this mods the DLC you must take these extra steps in ME3 Explorer:
1. Go to Developer Tools --> TOC --> DLC TOCbin Updater
2. Click File --> Check SFAR
3. Now navigate to BIOGame - DLC - DLC_CON_END - CookedPCConsole - Default.sfar
4. Double click Default.sfar to run the scan, then hit ok when it's finished
5. Follow steps 1-4 again for DLC_Exp_Pack003 and DLC_Exp_Pack003_Base in the BIOGame DLC folder
6. Now go to Tools - TOCbinUpdater
7. Click File, then check PCConsoleTOC.bin
8. Navigate to PCConsoleTOC.bin in your BIOGame folder and run the scan on it
9. Now you are done!
I should also mention that when you mod DLC, your game may fail the DLC authorization check when it loads. If this happens to you, there is a quick and easy solution right here:
