How do I rid my ME3 game of mods I installed years ago?

I was convinced to make a bunch of mods to my ME3 multiplayer, which seemed like fun at first, by a player who guided me through the changes. Later, I became leery of this player, call him Player X, ...

    Relax, you can uninstall and re-install and you won't lose any of your ME3 multiplayer "stuff".  It should get rid of all the mods.

    And single player files are saved in a separate (not install) folder, so they should be safe as well.

    Might be best to also enable cloud saves (Origin>Application Settings>Installs & Saves>Cloud Storage)

    I'm no expert, though I have installed multiple times (probably >10 by now?)

    You can uninstall from Settings on the ME3 game page (gear symbol).  But you might want to check that folder afterwards to ensure all is removed.  Then re-install.  Not sure if just a "repair" will do.

    You can change your username as well, with or without changing email address.  Bottom left of Origin, click your name/icon and go to "EA Accounts & Billing".  Edit your "Basic Information"

Thanks for the detailed reply. I'll give all that a go, then come back when it's done to "accept as solution" if it works out.

Good luck!

And once you're back in, my tip if you are looking to complete those remaining 2 gold solo's:

White/Geth/Gold with Kroguard, Reegar/mag/HVB/Inc 4

It's noob cheese mode for a reason.  Makes for lulz solos.

    Cloud saves enabled now.

    Downloaded "EA data", whatever that is. Saved it in a game folder, in case I need it later.

    Saved my game details on my password manager: all two of my games, order dates, order numbers, CD keys.

    Changed my username and unfriended Player X. Left my email address alone. Most likely he won't find or contact me again.

    About to try uninstalling from Settings on the ME3 game page (gear symbol).

    If this works, I'll give your gold solo advice a go.
