Most notably, the combat in the original Mass Effect has not aged well, and mods can only do so much. So, of course, there are some disadvantages to using mods over a professional remaster like Mass Effect: Legendary Edition. On the off chance a mod isn’t compatible with ME3Tweaks, you’ll need to do a manual install, but that’s relatively rare. You can then just drag and drop the zip files for content mods onto the ME3Tweaks window, and it’ll automatically install them. You can download ME3Tweaks, which will find your Mass Effect installations and help you back them up.
However, note that almost none of the mods need to be installed manually. This means that you should install ALOT, MEUITM, and ALOV last.Īs for picking what other mods to use, I suggest going with the ALOT author’s suggestions found on the pages for that mod linked above. The big thing to remember is that content mods come before texture mods. Installing Mass Effect mods seems more intimidating than it actually is. My suggestion is to open the A Lot Of Textures mod page for Mass Effect, Mass Effect 2, and Mass Effect 3 and study the readme there.
Once you have all the games and DLC installed, you’ll need to take a trip over to NexusMods.
