This information is for version 3.3 of the mod.


The Following Mods Are Compatible Out Of The Box

  • Better Cabin Music
  • Urz on the Normandy
  • EGM Miranda Mod

  • Tali Romance Mod
  • Shorter Dreams
  • Better Dreams
  • Miranda Alternative Uniform
  • Consolidated Kaidan Casuals
  • Ultimate Party
  • Priority Earth Overhaul Mod (PEOM) version 1.5 or above: PEOM will override PV's weapon changes to the squadmates at the FOB.
  • Spectre Expansion Mod and its Lore Addon
  • Casual Jack: If you don't use the Jack outfits in PV Extras
  • Miranda-Horizon Armor (Only if you don't choose to include Miranda’s Horizon Armor change in Project Variety Extras).
  • Cheater Pad
  • DLC_CON_EDI
  • A Human EDI



The Following Mods Are Compatible With The Patches Provided

  • Expanded Galaxy Mod (EGM): EGM also requires patches for PV extras if you choose to use the extras that give Jack, Mordin, or Grunt new outfits.
  • EGM Squadmate Pack
  • EGM ARK
  • EGM Hazard
  • Respawn Mission Overhaul
  • Citadel Epilogue Mod (CEM): Seperate options are provided for CEM full and CEM Lite.

Ending Mods

All of these ending mods are fully comptabile with PV. If you use MEHEM or LIME, you will not here Harbingers taunts during the beam run.

  • John P’s Alternate MEHEM (JAM) is compatible.
  • Mass Effect Happy Ending Mod (MEHEM) is compatible.
  • Less Is More Ending (LIME) is compatible


ALOT And Other Texture Mods

ALOT and other texture mods are compatible as long as you install them AFTER Project Variety. As a general rule, DLC and PCC mods come first and texture mods come last. If you do not follow these instructions and come to me asking for help, I will not help you. Due to memory limits caused by ME3's 32 bit engine the memory Patch for ALOT must be used or crashes will happen in certain areas. For more information, please read the "ALOT and Project Variety" article.

My Older Mods

The following of my mods are now outdated and should not be used with Project Variety

  • Citadel DLC Redone
  • Samara Redone
  • Coalesced improvements
  • Kai Leng Email Remover
  • Kasumi Unmasked
  • Casual Javik
  • Aria Armor Mod Reborn
  • Miranda Redone
  • The Helmets Stay On


Coalesced Mods

This mod has its own coalesced that edits certain values and keys. I cannot guarantee that it will be compatible with other mods that modify that edit the base game coalesced that is distributed as a .bin.

Incompatible/ Semi Incompatible Mods/Superceded Mods

The following mods are incompatible and no patches will be made. Attempting to use most of these with Project Variety will cause issues.

  • Thanemod (PV installation will be blocked if it detects that this mod is installed.)
  • Diana Allers Begone
  • Mother of All Mods (MOAM)
  • EDI Default Outfit: PV's changes will override this mods changes to EDI if she is not chosen for the Citadel Archives mission and the retake the Normandy mission. Otherwise, it should be fine.
  • Spectre Weapons Mod ( Idea incorporated into PV).
  • Grunt - Aralakh Commander
  • Backoff (PV installation will be blocked if it detects that this mod is installed.)
  • Immersive Thessia Mod (PV installation will be blocked if it detects that this mod is installed.)
  • Ambient Audio Overhaul Mod (PV installation will be blocked if it detects that this mod is installed.)
  • Kasumi Complexion Tweak (Already Incorportated if you used the Kasumi Extra. If you don't use the extra you can use this mod).
  • Liara Casual (Already Incorportated if you used the Liara Extra. If you don't use the extra you can use this mod).
  • 2 New Casual Outfits for Male Shepard (and edited undies model) (This has been incorporated into PV.)

    I just read in the list:

    15. Spectre Expansion Mod and its Lore Addon

    That's weird, because the "Spectre Loreful Weapons" mod clearly states: "If you do use PV, do not use this mod under any circumstances!"
    Is that an old description that is no longer true?

    How exactly is this mod incompatible with ME3 Recalibrated? I always had heard both mods recommended for every playthrough in the past, and I still have a copy of ME3Re.

    I see that ME3Re is incompatible, but that "existing saves" are good. Does this extend to imported ME2Re saves, or is that a no-go? I have a save ready to import into ME3, and another I'm currently playing with ME2Re installed, do I need to vanilla and restart the playthrough, or will ME3 PV play just fine with an imported ME2Re save?

    So are texture mods TPF's that you install or plug-n-play DLCs (like default Liara armor replacer) are texture mods too?

    I was considering using that mod in conjunction with Backoff, Immersive Thessia and Ambient Overhaul Mod. Is the incompatibility because PV makes them irrelevant in some manner? And are they patchable somehow?

      Following in case someone has an answer about the ambient overhaul mod. I saw some conflicts when scanning, but isn't sound extras the only thing Ambient adds? Would there be any issues if both were added anyway?

      Mod Creator of PV said on the ME Modding Discord that there will be no patches for the 3 mods. BackOff because Gitfish doesnt allow it and the other 2 because many modders dont want to put up with Orikon, who responded to my question on the Thessia Mod's Post Section saying that PV's creator "ghosted" him.

      I don't know many details, but afaik the conflict started with a disagreement when working on Priority Earth Overhaul Mod. I'm not happy Scottina is trying to force us to choose between PV and Orikon's mods. I like both and don't want to be involved in their feud.

    Shame that the Ambient Audio Overhaul mod can't be used with this.

    So with ME3Recalibrated being incompatible, does it mean that PRV has higher mount priority or that it'll break my game if I try to use both? I figure PRV makes ME3Re entirely redundant anyway, so it's not a big deal.
