Fob's Arrival Triggering Mod:

This is a mod for Mass Effect 2, that allows to change the trigger for Hackett's message about the Arrival mission.

Installation:
Simply copy the file BioD_Nor.pcc in the folder: "\BioGame\DLC\DLC_EXP_Part02\CookedPC\" and replace the existing file. Make a backup of your original file first!!!
IMPORTANT: You will need to run the DLC Authorization Patch for ME2, in order for the game to run with the mod. Download ME3Explorer and open the ME2Explorer. Go to the "Tools" menu and run the "DLC Crack".
ME3Explorer Download:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/me3explorer/

If you encounter authorization issues, see here:

Uninsdtall:
Copy your backup back into the folder and replace the modded file.


This mod comes in two Versions:
Version 1 will trigger the message right after the Suicide Mission is complete

Version 2 will require 2 conditions for Arrival to trigger:
a) Suicide Mission is completed
b) You had your 4th dialogue with Legion

What is Version 2 good for? The way I usually play ME2, I pick up Legion, do his Loyalty Mission and then go right to the Suicide Mission to save the entire crew of the Normandy. However, in order to be able to listen to all of Legion's dialgoue, I play at least one N7 mission after the Suicide mission (you need to complete a mission in order to trigger the next dialogue).
Therefore, if you use Version 2, Arrival will not trigger right after the SM. You can do your left over N7 missions, then go talk to Legion and then trigger Arrival and do that last.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to have enough missions to trigger Legion's 4th dialogue or you won't be able to trigger Arrival with Version 2! Obviously, if you gave Legion to Cerberus, use Version 1.
Note: There is a fifth dialogue with Legion. You can listen to it after you finished Arrival since the DLC itself counts as a mission.

Compatibility with texture mods:
This mod should be entirely compatible with texture mods for ME2.
HOWEVER: You will need to install the mod BEFORE you run your ME2 treescan!!!
If you already have textures installed, you will need to delete your game files (not the saves, just the actual game) as well as your ME2 texture tree and then re-install ME2. Now install the mod, then run the tree-scan and re-apply your texture ods as usual.
