📋 About This Mod
Important Note About This Mod And The Legendary Edition:
This mod MAY NOT under any circumstances be reverse-engineered, ported, or recreated for the Mass Effect Legendary Edition (or any future version of the franchise) without the expressed permission, knowledge, and involvement of its author, AVPen.
For me, it was pretty apparent that Wrex's power Stimulant Pack was always intended to be an unlockable bonus power in the Citadel DLC, but for several unknown reasons, it was never unlocked in the DLC's final release (this was further confirmed by developers in BioWare, who stated that it was intended as a bonus power). In digging through the various game files of the DLC, it became apparent that the power was intended and developed to be the DLC bonus power, but there were a few key issues missing in the data that kept it from actually appearing in the game. After much research and data editing, I developed a mod for unlocking Stimulant Pack as a true, genuine bonus power that can be used by Shepard in single-player. That means:
1. No need to fiddle with the in-game console to give yourself the power - Stimulant Pack needs to be unlocked only once as a permanent bonus power for Shepard!
2. No need to keep toying with the console to lock/unlock the power in order to get a new bonus power - Stimulant Pack functions exactly like every other bonus power in the game!
3. No need to constantly give yourself back the power with the console after loading a new map/level - Stimulant Pack is completely and 100% usable all the time!
Required Files/Programs
This mod does require both the Citadel DLC (duh, lol) and WarrantyVoider's DLC Patch files to be downloaded and installed in the "Mass Effect 3\Binaries\Win32" folder: http://www.mediafire.com/download/vwtd3ofsggnusr9/binkw32.rar
Install Instructions
Just drag and drop the "DLC_CON_StimPack" folder into your Mass Effect 3 DLC folder (Mass Effect 3\BIOGame\DLC). :)Q&A
1. Really? I just drag and drop this into the game's DLC folder?
2. No, seriously, I don't have to fiddle with ME3Explorer at all for this to work?
3. ... Really?
Really :)
4. How do I obtain Stimulant Pack as a bonus power?
You need to complete the fourth Citadel DLC mission, "Citadel Docks: Retake the Normandy" - upon returning to Shepard's apartment, the power will unlock in the MedBay's terminal on the Normandy. If you've already completed the Retake the Normandy mission and left the apa
This mod permanently unlocks the Stimulant Pack power from the Citadel DLC as a true bonus power for Shepard in Mass Effect 3. It's a small, focused gameplay tweak for players who want that DLC power without the hassle of ME3Explorer, now available as a DLC-mod.
