    I'm tired of answering questions that are already in the FAQ. Or helping people that didn't follow the instructions. RTFM before posting anything !
    If your post is removed, you know why.


    If you have a legitimate issue not answered in the FAQ :
    - Make sure it's not answered in the FAQ (see description)
    - Make sure it's not answered in the tutorial
    If both the above don't cover your issue, please open a bug report in the Nexus bug section :
    - Send the links to the log and diagnostic of your Installer. See how to upload a log and make a diagnostic.
    - If the issue is texture-related, send screenshots and a save game where it can easily be seen.
    - Pirated games aren't supported. They may or may not work.


    IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE MOD, READ THIS POST !
    Then, and only then, write a comment or come on Discord if you still need help. Please. Help us keep our sanity.

    Hello everyone. After installing ALOT+METUIM, this error appeared.
    Does anyone have an idea what this could be about?
    How to troubleshoot this error?

      Stuff:
      Asus ROG G703GXR
      RAM 64 GB (DDR4, 3600 MHz)
      CPU: Intel i9-9980XE
      GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080Ti 8GB
      System: Microsoft Windows 10 Pro PL (wersja 64-bitowa)

      I try update drivers, visual basic runtimes, run as administrator, use large adress aware etc but error is still occurs.

      I install ALOT+ALOV+MEUITM+MERLIN, is it possible to get rid of the error using a registry editor, adding a command to the game shortcut, recompiling indexes or any other way? Will I ONLY need to reinstall the game because nothing can be fixed?

      Are you using a pirated copy of the game? If so, they are known to cause crashes.

      That's a shame because that's the only way to play the game properly now... You may wanna rework these to work with a pirated copy I'd say, or else people arn't going to be able to experience the full thing anymore (both steam and now origin versions are busted).

    Somthing in this, MEUITM 2021 or merlins fixes is crashing pinnacle station. It REFUSES to launch when I felt there and boots me back to the desktop.

    EDIT: Forget it, it isn't the mods, I have recently found out EA have busted both pinnacle station and bring down the sky for even the origin version, probably in order to get people to play the crappy remaster. Either way, pinnacle station and bring down the sky will no longer load in the origin version either because it can't find it's own files:

    Here is some of my error log, it physically cannot find DLC files despite them being in there, I did a fresh install, NO MODS, repaired the game just incase those files were corrupted 3 times, tried turning all the effects / resolution down to it's lowest, turned of hardware audio I did EVERYTHING possible and it just continually freezes while playing the DLCs in the origin version.

    Hi, this mod, for me is essential. I recently moved from Windows to Garuda Linux (Arch) and I'm having a bit of trouble. Installing most mod works, after a fashion. Using the ME3Tweaks MM through Wine (even though it's specified it's not supported).
    But I was really looking forward to installing ALOT, I get it to run, more or less, but it doesn't recognise any of the paths to the games, so it won't install anything.
    I supposed I could play MELE but it's just not the same, especially ME3 Multiplayer.
    Has anyone had this issue or similar?

    This mod is essentially .MEM files... Can I just install them using MassEffectModder (AppImage works rather well)

    Thanks in advance

      You can install the mod only with MEM, yes. It's not supported but it should work if you know what you're doing.

      Finally MEOT fully modded, works really well and rather fast retexturing compared to using ALOT installer, which in my experience takes quite a bit longer than using MEM

      Thanks @CreeperLava

    After playing MELE and had no problem installing this mod in ME3tweak mod manager, I tried Mass Effect 1 2007 edition and this mod giving me tons of error messages and I followed your instruction. So i am just going to playing without this. Other mods work .

      Same here, "bad name index 1077153680/3284". Culprit is MERLIN, I guess.

    I'm getting an issue where some models only have black textures; geth drones, thresher maws and some loot crates. 
    I made sure to install the AMD fix and to install ALOT and MEUITM last after all core mods.

    Question:
    In the description and in ALOT it is possible to include MEUITM. How ever you also write that if u want the textures from MEUITM not to be over written by ALOT then it has to be installed after ALOT. So do i install MEUITM with ALOT or after ?

      Install MEUITM with ALOT if you prefer the ALOT textures, or after ALOT if you prefer the MEUITM textures. The overlap is minimal.

    Sorry if the question is stupid...
