About this mod
Corpses no more disappear. Launch game and in menu click button (download version with button what you want ) then load your game.

- Donations
At default corpses in ME2 stay only for about 10 seconds and then when you stop looking at them even for second they disappears. With this mod corpses will not disappear at all (they can disappear only after you reload game and load new area or in some rare instances ).
If your game is heavily modified to the point that sometimes you have crashes because of this (ME2 is 32bit application so it have 2-4gb ram limit after exceeding it crashes ) then you probably shouldn't trying this mod (usage of RAM rather will be bigger so it make more crashes ).
Additional info:
-I didn't do full playthrough with it so maybe there are some types of enemies what will disappear.
-Mod don't change behavior of bodies when using ammunition what dissolve bodies etc.
-Turn off auto update for game in Origin. Origin can overwrite modded game files with vanilla files without asking.
-I recommend to turn off Origin overlay as it can makes games slower.
-Mod may not work with non-original copy of game. From obvious reasons it will not be supported.
INSTALLATION
1.Download preferred version - choose button what activate mod.
2.To install use ME3Tweaks. Or if you want install it manually: Unzip it and in folders you find “Coalesced.ini”. Take it and drop to <install directory>\Mass Effect 2\BioGame\Config\PC\Cooked\ and click Yes to replace when prompted. First you may want backup your original Coalesced.ini - copy or move to some folder outside of game folders.
Compatible with most other mods except those what replace file Coalesced.ini
It will work with saves so starting new game is not needed.
You can install this mod before or after any mod.

HOW ACTIVATE MOD (it must be activated every time you launch game )
Launch game and in start menu click button (that button what version you downloaded - and click it only once, because second click disable mod, third click enable mod, fourth disable mod etc. ) before loading your Save. Mod will be enabled until you quite game (when you load another save or start new game mod will be still active ). If you click this button again after you started game (load save ) game will crash to desktop (enabling or disabling mod can't be done when game engine is rendering game ).
Every time you launch game you must click this button in start menu to enable mod (if you forget click button - mod just will not be working - to enable mod you don't need exit and relaunch game - you can click ESC button and then click Main Menu and then click Yes when games ask you: "Return to main menu? All unsaved progress will be lost." ).
UNINSTALL:
If you installed manually – move your Coalesced.ini from backup to <install directory>\Mass Effect 2\BioGame\Config\PC\Cooked\ and click yes to override it when prompt. If you installed with ME3Tweaks Mod Manager and you don't have backup use also above method.
If you installed with ME3Tweaks Mod Manager and you have backup made with ME3Tweaks:
1. Open M3Tweaks Manager and click "Manage Target" (first make sure that location is for ME2 Original Trilogy ).
2. Click "Modified basegame files" and find "BioGame\Config\PC\Cooked\Coalesced.bin" and at right of it there is button "Restore" (click on it and you will be asked if restore - click Yes )
