Mass Effect 3 Question regarding on how to load Citadel DLC levels

[BHMoBile]

Hey guys.

So I've been into modding recently and I was wondering if there's a way on how to open or load the Citadel Wards level from the Citadel DLC.

I'm aware of the "open" command that you use in console, however I have not found any BioD_?? levels for the Wards, not sure on where to direct myself to, or is it even possible to do this.

 

If not, do I have to play through missions to get myself to the start of the DLC and then going from there?

Thanks.

You would use BioP files for loading if you're trying to use console commands. BioD files mostly dynamic things like pathing and design, if you try to open them you'll probably crash the game.

 

If you're talking about Citadel DLC you'd use BioP_CitHot. For the acts of the DLC, it would be BioP_Cit001,BioP_Cit002,BioP_Cit003,BioP_Cit004.

 

Citadel is very complicated in its setup, I've found that loading the map via console is not really reliable, some areas would not load properly as I progressed into them.

Actually you need to use this console command:

at biop_ < level_name >

Use BioP_ filenames as commands from Citadel dlc folder:

Mass Effect 3\BIOGame\DLC\DLC_EXP_Pack003\CookedPCConsole

Mass Effect 3\BIOGame\DLC\DLC_EXP_Pack003_Base\CookedPCConsole

For example: once I forgot to respec bonus power and used:

at biop_nor to load Normandy main deck level;

at biop_citapt to return to the apartment;

List of main game levels, user2929 doc:

at

at biop_nor

;this command in most cases moves player to another map. you can play some missions without squad members if Shepard currently is alone on citadel or normandy, and with current sqadmates if you currently are in mission.

Note: when you are on normady shuttle bay, crew deck or another mission , it may trigger landing off the map, in space, or trigger a mission start without squad, and without a cutscene at the beginning. It is recommennded to stand at the main deck at galagy map and then launch the "at" mission.
