ALOV is an exhaustive and comprehensive 4K 60fps video overhaul project powered by AI and augmented with faithful in-game remakes, error corrections and other misc improvements.

Fixes, improvements and restorations for Ashley’s presidium date scene.

Over 100+ bed sheets for your cabin! Change them on the fly!

AHEM is a rework of the ending to LE3, and a spiritual successor to the Happy Ending Mod. The primary focus of the mod is to allow Commander Shepard to survive the final mission, as well as provide satisfying closure to this incredible trilogy through tweaked cutscenes, edited videos, new ending slides, and an overhauled memorial scene.

This overhauls most of the game so that Cerberus Assault Troopers, Centurions and Guardians use more lore-accurate armour from Mass Effect 2, and it gives Cerberus more of an aesthetic that matches the rest of the trilogy.

Some characters, primarily aliens, in Mass Effect 3 do not look like they did in the two previous games. This mod sets out to provide consistency so that these characters are instantly recognisable.

Witness your cabin fill after each mission, as you amass a collection of trinkets from across the galaxy.

Conrad Verner no longer apologizes for wrongly accusing you of pointing at gun at him. Meant to be used with conjunction of my Conrad Verner Remembers mod for Mass Effect 2 Legendary Edition.

Visual overhaul of Diana Allers’s appearance with a sculpted head mesh, new face textures, and optional outfit replacers. Three outfit options are included in the installer.

The Initiative Armors from Ark Mod and MP Armors from EGM all set up as a brand new DLC Mod for LE3. Includes T5-V Battlesuit, N7 Pathfinder, Initiative Spearpoint, N7 Slayer and many more.

A few quality of life features from Expanded Galaxy Mod (ME3) ported to LE3. As EGM will take a long time to be ported, a few behind the scenes features that improve the gameplay are being added earlier. Over time this mod will gradually become more like the full EGM experience, as more content is added.

With this mod you can use 8 more basic outfits and 8 more hats, 3 armors, invisible shoulders/arms/legs pieces. All torso pieces have an Cerberus Shade Armor bonus. You can use normal clothes instead of armor.

Faceoff against a Citadel clone that looks whatever way you want. Use custom head morphs, scars, or modded looks. Fight against Broshep as Femshep, or against Femshep as Broshep, or against Femshep as Femshep, or against Broshep as Broshep. Your choices, your battle.

This mod overhauls the Geth faction so that it makes use of the Geth Bomber enemy from ME3 Multiplayer and the Armax Arsenal Arena. The intention is to maintain combat balance, and perhaps someday add a little more enemy variety.

This mod does two things – restore Harbingers design from Mass Effect 2 and edits the prologue so that he is the first Reaper that you witness on Earth.

There’s little more to say about it other than… ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL!

This mod takes all of the messages from the Bioware companion app for ME3 and inserts them into your game at key moments. The messages range from cute to heartbreaking to funny and are canon-compliant as they were written by Bioware.

Improved Power Grid Mod alters the appearance of Purgatory before and after you complete the side quest titled Citadel: Improved Power Grid.

A project designed to diversify LE3 through better species’ population balancing, outfit/appearance diversification and overall breathing more life into the world. This project is currently in ALPHA and is only partially complete.

LE3 Opening Remaster aims to improve the opening cinematic of Mass Effect 3, using remastered footage from an early ME3 Xbox 360 demo, as well as diversifies the opening text scroll if the Arrival DLC was completed.

Bunch of new outfits that contains pants and similar stuff from Sims CC Creators as buyable Casual Clothes for FemShep LE3.

Better accuracy and slower bloom. Less recoil. Less weight. Other adjustments. No nonsense. Done by an ME3 multiplayer veteran.
This is a thorough yet relatively tame approach to a rebalance. Weapons should feel very familiar but better.

This Merge Mod will remove the firing delay on shotguns in LE3

Changes the Omega interrupt from being exclusive to engineer to being available to infiltrator, engineer, and sentinel if you want to keep lore correct.
Also has optional all non tech classes version. If you want the interrupt if you’re playing as a soldier, adept or vanguard or any other class.

Adds extra options on the dialogue wheel in LE3 so that Shepard has an actual choice between being friendly or flirty to potential love interests.

Bunch of outfits as store buyable casual clothes for femShepard in LE3

This mod replaces the Kai Leng shuttle scene during the Cerberus Coup with an introduction scene for the Phantom. As such, this restore Biowares original intended introduction to the Phantom enemy class.

Kolyat has left Shepard a small gift on the Normandy. Edi has had it placed in the Life Support Deck, for when Shepard has the time to sit.
Consider heading over to Kassa Fabrications, Flowers left in memory can be a nice thing to tie it all together.
Read the Datapad to see the Prayer, Examine the book for Immersion.

Removes the sounds (entirely or just the trigger noise) from Paragon and Renegade interrupts for a more immersive cutscene experience.

This is a very small mod with a very big impact, and one of my personal highlights!

This intends to overhaul the Reaper faction to use more of the husk monsters they have used through the rest of the trilogy, starting with the Abominations and eventually adding both the Scions and Praetorians that were first featured in Mass Effect 2.

BioWare forgot to add the ability to reset Javik’s powers on the Normandy MedBay. They didn’t fix it for LE either. This mod fixes that.

This mod restores the 3-stage melee attacks that were part of the original Mass Effect 3 game but are bugged and don’t work in Mass Effect 3 (Legendary Edition). This mod restores them. This mod may become hidden in the future if BioWare fixes this bug.

Replaces Shepard’s idle, walking, running, and sprinting animations, either by porting their LE1 animations or by swapping their gender-specific animations.

Reduces the size of ME2 and ME3’s notifications and moves them closer to the bottom right corner.

The purpose of Spectre Expansion Mod is to improve the under used Shadow Broker and Spectre terminals, to give the player new difficult choices to consider via Spectre authorisations, to improve the presence of background races in ME3, to expand the galaxy map and provide clues to the battles happening beyond the scope of Shepard’s missions.

Numerous improvements to storming in LE3, allowing better control and more agility on and off the battlefield. Includes the ability to sprint in any direction and a tap to sprint control scheme. Options are modular and all work with keyboard or controller.

Overhaul of Tali’s LE3 appearance with a completely new, fully animated face.

In addition, this is natively built to be compatible with story mods such as Expanded Galaxy Mod and Spectre Expansion Mod.

Adds new tank top outfits to casual appearance for both Female & Male Shepard. Includes optional additional casual outfits for FemShep. For MELE2 and MELE3.

Overhaul of the quarian’s appearances, giving each of them a unique, visible, high-definition face, which is rigged and fully able to move and emote during speech. Designed to be used in conjunction with Tali Overhaul Mod.

This mod makes the hot tub in Anderson’s apartment interactable and adds a short cutscene of Shepard using it. It is available right from the start of the Citadel DLC, but disabled during the party (as that would interfere with NPCs that can be present in the area).

Removes the ugly vignette effect in the corners of the screen, producing the same image as photo mode with vignette off!

Vanilla-friendly, exhaustive and easy to install graphical overhaul mod for the Mass Effect Trilogy.

A mod to reverse Bioware’s baffling decision to make Jack a blonde.

Eye textures. Replaces textures for male and female humans. I think it replaces asari eyes too. Check image section for the comparison. It makes the iris more detailed and the pupil smaller. 

I fixed the lighter color issue on lips which is especially visible on darker lipstick colors.

This look softens her make up quite a bit and also adds a couple of scars to further emphasize the abuse she suffered.

A quick edit that gives Jack more coverage in ME3 because she’s a teacher who is sup- nah it’s because the original outfit looks mega cringe.

New Lashes for FemShep
