MELE Mods thread

Bio seems to be taking a page from Bethesda's playbook.

Wonder how long it'll be till Bio says "it just works".

So the next thing would be saying "it just works"

And then Bio can live their dream of becoming the next Bethesda.

Actually, now that I think about it, Bio would need a catchy tune to complete their dreams.

I don't think that anyone can be bothered to do that. It sounds like way to much hard work. 😆

You really don't need the heavy weapon imo, the forgoing of heavy weapons for all other weapons is still a net positive. Locust, is arguably one of the best weapons btw

Does anyone have trouble playing LE1 with mods?  I have 3 mods installed, and been having trouble with dialogue.  Sometimes npc's will start talking and there would be a delay before the audio starts and sometimes the dialogue skips, and sometimes the audio stops before the dialogue text finishes.

Here are the 3 mods I am currently using in the order I installed them:

Saren Stage LE1:  www.nexusmods.com/masseffectlegendaryedition/mods/666

Morlan's Iconic Armor store:  www.nexusmods.com/masseffectlegendaryedition/mods/684

LE1 Community Patch:  www.nexusmods.com/masseffectlegendaryedition/mods/23

I've read the posts for each mod and there are no conflicts I am aware of.

If anyone has had a similar can you please help?

It's strange that I can remove weapons I don't particularly need in ME1LE (meaning you see more of Shep's back) using the Trilogy Save Editor, yet I'm having trouble removing the heavy weapon off of my Shep's back, leaving only a Shotgun and SMG in ME2LE using the same editor. I literally remove it from the loadout in RAW Data, but it's still on her back. WTF.

LE3 Community Patch v1.3 just dropped on 12 Oct, it fixes some bugs in v1.2, plus some additional base game bug fixes and …

Includes in-game mod menu to toggle mod effects on/off, without toggling mods via ME3Tweaks prior to boot (might require rebooting game).

A guess … this capability might be in the next update to LE1 Community Patch (+Framework) and eventual LE2 Community Patch+Framework.

Note 1: small ME3Tweaks update was made 7 Oct, you will be offered the update when you open the mod manager (no new file to download).

Note 2: on 13 Oct, both the FISH and Conrad No Apologies mods were updated to be compatible with the Community Patch (and each other).

Note 3: LE1 Community Patch v1.1 released on 13 Oct, it did not include a Community Framework mod, but did add more base game fixes.

So I have a question for the modders, I ran into this comment and I wanted to see how true to reality it is, I don't have anything against modders, just the company who seems to think you are free labor and correct me if I am wrong:

"No, I'm not in charge of the tools we use, so I only saw correspondence as a third wheel, and the BioWare reps stopped appearing in our chats when the project was closed at around July this year. But some of the tool developers still talk to them privately. So I did get to see the shock on their "face" when they realized 3-hit melees were accidentally missing in Legendary Edition Mass Effect 3. A feature that will never be added back at least on consoles. It was clear that the reason he couldn't push to get it fixed is because their QA department only had room to address "critical" bugs, i.e. actual game crashes and other serious problems. Unfortunately an ugly save glitch is still stuck in the PlayStation ports where random plot flags and values are truncated in rare instances of saving. That will never be fixed.
The initial correspondence was allegedly by accident, because someone said they worked with modders but we had not heard a word. We contacted them because of that, and they owned up to it by actually collaborating directly after that point. We now have details like all their entire "StoryManager" plot table, which means we know what every single plot flag in the trilogy means, which means we have much more clarity about plot-branching issues and how to fix them, and the ability to create story-driven mods that depend on official choices you make in the core game.
But the bottom line is: The reason we are even able to release mods today for Legendary Edition is because the toolset developers worked directly with BioWare to know how the game works under the hood. If BioWare hadn't done that, there wouldn't even be a sprawling mod community for Legendary Edition in 2021."

F---- the MELE, bless you PC gamers:

Pinnacle Station mod got an update yesterday (9 Nov), now version 1.0.1 … probably the biggest change, optimization rolled the recommended GPU back an entire generation (GTX 1070 GTX for nvidia vs RTX 2070) … so more folks should have a decent experience with the mod.

Other updates as well, such as more complete localization.

The blog post talking about how the mod came about is worth a read. It's pretty long, but Mgamerz explains why the modders could recreate/port a game file with their mod tools, but without source code, the folks at BioWare and their contract support were left high and dry.

The mod started out just creating the apartment for Shepard … then it took off from there. Again, while it is a long read, the post really is quite interesting (well, at least for me).
