in short its far from pleasant to mod and defiantly not user friendly. Plus the mod selection is fairly limited.

I'm surprised someone had the patience and gumption to make a full galaxy expansion. hell trying to make a brand new skin set for liara broke my game 4 times over.


IF you are not good at following directions AND you are not patient modding is not for you.

Glad I'm not the only one that does that. I check once every day or two, depending on my schedule. And I agree that I'm waiting to play the game for SKSE for SSE and the adjustments to the mods for it. I figure I've already played Skyrim standard edition why not just be patient, put in the mods I know I want and do it right, no restarts because I changed my mind. ESO is holding me over pretty well in the meantime. ^_^

Modding is for everyone, whether you're patient or not. You just got to pay attention and know what you're doing before you do. Most of it is instinct, also, backups. Lots of backup :P

New Mod Tooks like ME3Explorer, and now the even newer, MEM (Mass Effect Modder), have made modding all three Mass Effect game's textures, much easier, and replace the old TexMod memory hack method with file replacements.

You can use ME3Explorer to unpack TPF files, and/or install them permanently, where TexMod just added them in memory.
ME3Explorer - Wiki

ME3Explorer - Nexus Mods

However a better alternative has recently appeared, which only installs DDS textures, but is much faster than ME3Explorer, even if you have to use ME3Explorer to unpack the TPF files first.
MEM - Mass Effect Modder - Wiki

MEM - Mass Effect Modder - Release

This is the best Mass Effect Texture Installer yet, for Example the A Lot Of Textures for ME2 package (1000 Textures approx) takes several hours, using ME3Explorer, but about 15 minutes, at most using MEM.

It's that much better, and once the MEM pack is created, it's even quicker to reinstall.

Combine that with the DLC Mods, and using ME3MM (Mass Effect 3 Mod Manager), for easier reinstallation. and Mass Effect modding has never been easier.
Mass Effect 3 Mod Manager by FemShep

IMPORTANT NOTE
Mainly affects the first two games of ME, and Dragon Age, when it was the main site for mods.

The old BSN forums are gone, but information can be found using the Wayback Machine.
The last Snapshot of the active Bioware Forum, was 11th October 2016, (the later ones are the same message you see now, saying EA don't give a damn, about us):
The BioWare Forum

However this will not work for the mod files, and although they are currently available, EA has already announced it will close the site sometime soon, though no date's been set.

So grab the mods you want, before they disappear forever, some are being transferred here, but only with permission. Many will never get moved over.
