Mass Effect Must-Have Mods List (All Games)

This one really brings ME1 to the rest of trilogy in visual part, gray dirt instead of textures is no more. Weird though, I remember someone making texture upgrades for ME2/ME3, but can't find anything.

A couple of other mods I like:

Appearance:

• Casual Jack -ME3. Alternate Outfit for Jack (does not overwrite the default one in Citadel DLC)
  
• Miranda - Alternative Uniform -ME3. Gives Miranda a version of Ashley's default skirt.
• FemShep's Closet -ME3. Lots of repacked casual clothes for Femshep. Also has a version that removes the default dress.
• FemShep's Armory -ME3. Lots of Armours for Femshep
  

Tweaks:

• Faster Elevators -ME1. For speeding up almost all elevators. But it still allows for SquadBanter to finish
• Quick Startup -ME1. From the Desciption: "The "Skip to Main Menu" download starts the game at the main menu"
• Shorter Dreams -ME3. Shortens/removes the Dream sequences and or the Kid.
  

Story:

• Just Talking for a Bit -ME2. Removes a bit of the flirty FemShep lines with Jacob.
• Ken and Gabby Recruitment Restoration Mod -ME3. Conversation with the two, instead of a terminal button.
• Restored Zaeed Conversation -ME3. Access all of Zaeed's holding Area dialgue. (Does only work in english, afaik)
  

Gameplay:

• Bonus Power Packs -ME3. Most MP Powers available as SP bonus powers
  
• Stimulant Pack - True Bonus Power -ME3. Stimulant Packs as bonus power and Citadel DLC intel bonuses
  

Way too much to list (and a Must have IMO)

Expanded Galaxy Mod -ME3

Just reviewed expanded galaxy ... wow.

I did the hi res mod for ME, just to see how it might work.

Then read that some of the exclusive content in ME2 is now available on PC.

Now learned of this mod for ME3.

I now have a reason to complete my new ME play through ME2 and ME3 ...

What is your work?

Ah, I knew I forgot a couple of things!
I guess this list has the most important things.

There are also GiftFish's mods (e.g., Thanemod), more AVPen mods (something Tali related, IIRC), and Getorex' Ashley and Tali Mods, for which I don't have links right now. --GiftFish and AVPen can be also found on ME3Explorer, not sure about Getorex.

The ME1 texmod looks really good that I'm tempted to give it a spin.

P.S. I can't even tell if the mod for ME2 is working or not. I'm using the cinematic mod for ME2 btw.

That explanation should likely be longer, but the short version is:

MEHEM skips the Catalyst and the end choices, provides a 'happy' (I.e., everyone lived ever after) ending based on (among others) the Extended Cut memorial scene.

JAM is NOT compatible with MEHEM. Copy from the Nexus page:
    This story mod is based on MEHEM, the Mass Effect Happy Ending Mod, by Fob. It keeps (IMHO) what makes MEHEM MEHEM: the memorial scene with Shepard, and uses it with the traditional Extended Cut ending (albeit slightly modified). [...]
    Version A keeps the Catalyst conversation and Shepard's choice between Destroy, Control, and Synthesis.
    Version B skips the Catalyst conversation (like original MEHEM) and the Crucible destroys the Reapers.

EGM, Back Off, ME3 Recalibrated, and ThaneMOD should be compatible with one another and one of the above mods. (I have only used EGM as of now, as the other mods are/were not compatible with different localizations than english.)

EGM touches pretty much everything somehow. Clusters are open from the very beginning, there are new missions (mostly text-based), You receive updates on the war, Certain events result in the Normandy getting visitors, WAY more customization option in every way possible (char specs, armour, weapons, normandy crew, mission timing, and whatnot) And I probably forgot half of what it adds.

Backof alters the behaviour of possible ME3 LIs, when a previous game's LI survived, and generally alters dialogue choices concerning LIs to be more fitting.
ThaneMod alters Thane content, so he survives and has a better romance or some such.
Recalibrated fixes several glitches and restores some content. I haven't tried it yet as it only works with the english version.

It's really best to go to the mod's respective sites and look at their descriptions, as I really only cover the mimimum. It is also noteworthy that most of these mods require one or several of the official DLCs.
I don't think you can affect the load order of these mods. To my understanding, loadorder is determined by an integer field integrated into the DLC files.

This is perfect for me, I was mostly looking for bullet points about what each one does that differs from the others. Thanks!!

EDIT: Does anyone know of a good scar mod that DOESN'T replace the Lazarus scars? I had my old scar and Lazarus scars in ME2, and I'm hoping I can do the same in ME3.

Remki, would you mind if we were to merge with this with my current list of the mods going on, or even make a post under mine with the same info? I am trying to keep all the info together and there is a LOT of mod authors moving projects around right now. In fact, I have 75 to move to Nexus tomorrow. Thanks
