Must have mods 2025?!

[Marakus]

Hi all,

As many others I am going for a new run at Mass Effect I played all parts when they first got out, so long long time ago In my opinion it's still the best sci-fi story there is!

I have read a few thing about mods but most post are not very recent. What are the "must have" mods to play with in 2025 in your opinion? Just quality of life improvements and graphic updates and stuff like that is what I am interested in. I don't feel the need for more weapons and extra missions etc.

What do you recommend?

None. The only mods I install are a couple of cosmetics mods, but I really see zero reason to use anything else. Mods that change the game in anything other than a cosmetic sense are pure cringe.

Children of Rannoch for ME 1 and ME 2 - its looks so amazing.

Appearance Modification Menu LE1 - that your companions and your shepdard looks better.

"Modding Guide and Mod Collection for Mass Effect Legendary Edition" on nexus, he has a good collection.

Good list! I would also recommend The Normandy Project LE2 and Extended Galaxy Map LE2. I would really wish there is an Extended Galaxy Mod for LE1.
