If you have read my Mass Effect 1 Modding Guide and/or my Mass Effect 2 Modding Guide, then you might be surprised that this Mass Effect 3 Modding Guide is even longer. The modding of Mass Effect 3 is not that much more complicated, but some of the mods must be installed by hand. Mass Effect 3 Original Trilogy Some of the mods are huge content mods with many options, where the installation order matters. Note: If you already have an updated and fixed backup, you can continue with “ Restore your Master Backup“. Important: If you have already added mods to your install, it is best to delete and to reinstall your game, unless you know exactly which DLC folders to delete. The repair facility only checks official files and will not remove any additional files you added. Therefore you can not use it to return to a vanilla state after a failed modding attempt. The following is the list of manual mods which I prefer to install. Please have a look at this page for other mods you might like: Mass Effect 3 Recommended Mods List Manual mods to importĪll but CEM can be imported into Mod Manager. Warning: If you intent to use Project Variety, then do NOT install Mass Effect 3 Recalibrated, as it is not compatible any more. The good news is, that you also no longer need Me3Re if you install Project Variety, as it supersedes it now. Mods with their own installersĪpart from the manual mods, I also use two mods that come with their own installers and a few optional extras. The Mass Effect Happy Ending Mod comes with its own installer, that already does all the copying needed. There are also only a few options to check, and the installer is very simple to use. Note: If you like the alternative ending, but do not want the extended fan-made scenes, you might want to take a look at JAM – JohnP’s Alternate MEHEM.

=> MEHEM can be imported into Mod Manager. The Citadel Epilogue Mod has its own installer and comes in two flavors, Full and Lite. Please check their site before deciding over which variant you’d like to use.Īdditionally you can select some alternative music, which you can listen to from the setup folder where the CEM installer is.
