Mods not working/Validation loop

[Johnny Wishbone]

I keep getting Validation loop when trying to load from ME3tweaks. I know u have to do textures last but that's not my issue. Ive tried running as admin, ive tried to uninstall and reinstall everyhting even the game and nothing. just trying to do my second playthrough. Any help would be appreciated as its been three days of hair pulling. Much love commanders.

i got a new PC. OS is windows 11 now. would that cause an issue? that mod folder is from 2021 where ME3 was updated in 2023. Is it a mod manager or?

MassEffectModder is only for MEM files, so textures mostly. There are very few MEM files (ALOT, Primitives, SJC's Better Eyes are the only ones i know which are MEM files) Most mods needs the ME3TweaksModManager like new armor, weapons and stuff.

You have to do a Backup before modding of each game and then you can simply throw the rar-files via drag and drop into the ME3TweaksModManager Overlay. Then do "import mod" so it's in your list and then you have to install it. Just make sure it's not a MEM-file like i said before, because it doesn't work well with ME3TMM.

You at least need 3 tools. There is 3 steps to modding Mass Effect LE.
ME3Tweaks Mod Manager.
Mass Effect Modder.
I will post the other one later.

^I only needed those 2 tools mentioned as well.
Did a clean install, because most mods received updates and it was faster to do a clean install instead of rolling back.

My other tool would be the save editor :P But I am using a certain headmorph for like ages and it's easier to replace it in the editor.
