    Some info and corrections: - Mods managed via the ME3Tweaks Mod Manager (M3 or just Mod Manager) are referred to as "Content Mods", since they modify all kinds of game content. Mods managed by Mass Effect Modder (MEM) are referred to "Texture Mods". - Mods that are inside the ...\ME3TweaksModManager\mods\ folder and those that are shown on the left side of the manager window are not "installed" mods. They are imported into the Manager Library, meaning that they are simply stored there. This also means that you don't need a separate folder for your content mods, its just wasted space. - You can safely disable (not remove) mods via the Manager's Manage Target menu if you have already texture modded your game. - You mention the ability to download via Mod Manager but you fail to explain how to set it up. The feature requires that you link your NexusMods account to the Manager via the "Login to NexusMods" button in the top right corner of the Manager. Only when the nxm handler has been configured will the browser correctly relay the action to the Manager. Also, the prompt that appeared after you pressed on the "Download with Mod Manager" button wasn't an information that its going to be done via M3, it was a warning that this mod in general requires M3 to work. - Most mods do not cause issues if you reapply them at any point. You can also review your currently installed mods via the Manage Target Menu. - The Better Camera and Depth of Field mods are no longer available due to internal reasons. Replacements are in the works.
  • This is my favorite mod guide on the Citadel. This guide is so useful that I let the ads run their full length so the creator gets more eezo.
  • @RyseNN493
    this is literally the ULTIMATE guide. Not even clickbait
  • @DaKussh
    Pro tip, many mods use the Community Patches as a framework. Load order shouldn't matter except in this instance, people should always install Mass Effect Community Patches first as a rule of thumb.
  • I didn't really need a whole guide, was just looking for some minor things I was not completely sure about, but wow, great guide! You explain everything well, show everything needed to know, in a very nice way. It's easy to listen to your explanation and it's easy to understand, Really good! 👍
  • @lagomorphamage5875
    This was VERY helpful in making a seemingly daunting task much more manageable. Thank you for putting this together!
  • @bicepcurls1571
    Legendary guide dude, thank you. Working my way through my annual trilogy playthrough and this is a huge breath of fresh air.
  • @garybeharrie
    this was super helpful, first guide that actually explained save trilogy on youtube. never found one actually showing you with voice over... always silent (crazy music ) vids that speed run what to do with zero context to new guys for trilogy save editor
  • @iandrake8202
    Thank you so much for this vid. I made a complete mess trying to do it myself. Your tutorial is nice and easy to follow, especially as I am a noob
  • @shawnb5899
    Excellent guide, thanks for taking the time to make this video!
  • I rarely like, comment, or subscribe on YT videos, but you my friend have earned all 3. Great video!
  • @jigga69000
    Best complete tutorial I have ever seen on ME modding.
  • @Dizeenable
    Well put together, thx for your time, the game (LE1 so far) looks damn good ! I would also recommend to turn off HDR within the game settings for the best visuals.
  • @KittysInu
    This was a ton of help, and you give off some happy n peaceful vibes. Thank you so much for the helpful video that was also just wonderful to listen to!
  • @anthonyjoel9581
    Amazing tutorial. Thank you so much for helping me learn how to install ME mods.
  • @simonh7954
    I appreciate all the effort that must’ve gone into doing this video. And I was there for about the first half but dang this takes forever! I could not find any.MEM files at all for Lara, despite downloading, and extracting the zip… Towards the end, it just was messy for me. But thank you. I did learn a few things at the beginning for sure.
  • @CliffCloudz
    this guide helped me TONS!! thanks so much new sub here!!
  • @GreenDinoRanger
    Thank you so, so much for making this guide. I've been putting off attempting to mod my Mass Effect games for years because I was scared I was going to screw it up and completely ruin my games. But now, because of you, I can finally experience my favourite story with new eyes.
