PV 3 is here. Check the changelog for details.
Project Variety is a major overhaul for Mass Effect 3. From fixing bugs, to expanding and diversifying the Citadel population, restoring cut content, and much more, PV touches most of ME3 in one way or another. Editing over 900 files, PV is one of the biggest content mods for Mass Effect 3.
This mod would not be possible without the contributions from a vast amount of people. I owe each and everyone of them an eternal debt of gratitude, especially the people in the Mass Effect Modding Workshop discord. Below is a list of people who were absolutely essential in the development of Project Variety. For a complete list, please check the credits panel.
Mgamerz: For making the ME3Tweaks fork of ME3Explorer and ME3Tweaks Mod Manager. His willingness to improve the toolset and add new features to it is why PV is where it is. Modding is so much better because of him. PV would not be possible without his work.
SirCxyrtyx: SirC is a big part of the reason why PV is where it is. Her willingness to add features to the toolset has made my life easier in more ways than one. Thousands of hours were saved because of her dedication to improving the toolset. Thanks is also given for giving me permission to incorporate her Ken and Gabby mod.
Kinkojiro: For all the technical advice that he gave me. Some parts of PV would not be possible without his input and technical knowledge (thank you so much for creating the change stunt mesh sequence object!).
Khaar: For being the best bug tester around and for his feedback.
Sil: For his feedback, modding advice, and being a source of inspiration through his various mods.
Lukensko: For his feedback, modding advice, expanding my knowledge on dialogue editing, and being an ever inspiring source of inspiration through YCM.
BladeZero: For the various saves he provided me and his feedback.
Audemus: For creating the various new Citadel advertisements, his audio editing skills, his feedback, and creating the new Brooks distraction bik (holy hell).
Fairfieldfencer: For his excellent voice acting for the Krogan leaders of the Bloodpack.
Furinax: For creating one of the most beautiful models imaginable for Miranda and for letting me use his outfit from Ark mod in PV.
Jenya: For creating one of the new Jack models, one of the new Ann Bryson models, and for her constant support.
Mellin: Where do I begin? Let me just say that Mellin is perhaps the most instrumental person to the success of Project Variety. His willingness to spend his time to create an endless amount of new models is something that I will forever be in awe by. PV and especially PV Extras owes so much of their content to him that it's impossible to describe in a few words. Mellin unlocked the potential of PV and allowed me to truly achieve my vision for it. I am forever grateful for his contributions to the project. A thank you does not seem enough to be honest.
NoiraFayn: For creating the beautiful Miranda casino dress, Miranda's new hairstyles, and her support.
Strife: For writing some of the News Terminal stories and for his support.
Everyone in the ME Modding Workshop: For your feedback and support.
Orikon: For advancing my modding skills to the next level, which allowed me to start Project Variety 3.

Liara no longer disappears if the player goes a certain distance away from her in the Presidium precoup.

Apollo’s Cafe now has more NPCs working in it and has more clutter.
Added food to the tables on the Presidium.

Restored Aria’s responses to the Bloodpack, Blue Suns, and Eclipse recruitment missions. How she responds depends on how you resolved the mission. Also restored additional dialogue on Omega and the Citadel.

Citadel: Reactive Events
In Project Variety 3 certain events will occur in the Citadel depending on your choices in the game or where you are in the story. These are what I like to call Reactive Events.
