ME1 - MOD's & Mod-Information
Hello,
here my Information about: How to install ME1 with some mods. I wrote it in german (for me!), try to translate it (for you). Hope it helps a few people who want to play with mods. It took me some time to get all this information. 😪
Also: I have found a few nice links to ME1 mods. You should know: There are NOT really a lot of ME1 mods out there .... :-) But I love my (few) mods really and they "make my game". 🐱
How you could install a ME1 game, with mods:
(- TuneUp made a little check)
- ME1 installing, through Origin (make a "hook" at "Install game Updates" in Origin adjustment)
- Start the game (make 16:9 )
- Looking for Game-Updates (rightclick ME1 Cover in Origin)
- ME1 repair (rightclick on ME1 Cover in Origin)
- Again: ME1 repair (rightclick on ME1 Cover in Origin)
- Start the game (Grafic adjustment)
- Going to "Documents" and copy/save the ME-folder.
Go to your hard disk (it's often C: ) and copy/save the ME-folder.
You do this because with this files you can restore your game to "vanilla" if you have problems or don't like a mod.
- In the Config-Menu from the MassEffectConfig.exe (ME folder / Binaries) clear the Cache (repair function)
- LAA install(you need this for the MEUITM mod)
(MEUITM Mod: http://www.nexusmods.com/masseffect/mods/1/?tab=1&navtag=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nexusmods.com%2Fmasseffect%2Fajax%2Fmoddescription%2F%3Fid%3D1%26preview%3D&pUp=1 )
- MEUITM install
- Make a new tree in ME3explorer ( https://me3explorer.github.io/ - you make a tree in the "Texplorer section" and will take a lot of timeeee and it crashes often)
- "Updates for games" disable (in Origin)
- Install the small mods with ME3Explorer
(- Savegames: copy into the savegame folder)
- BioEngine.ini modify (look at the MEUITM mod)
