    Since I don't play Mass Effect anymore,
    I decided to end support for this mod collection.

    Mods don't appear in my game!!!

    Try the following:

    • Make sure your Frosty Mod Manager is up-to-date
    • Start your game with Frosty Mod Manager
    • If you use Epic Store Games version of the game, please use FrostyFix or DatapathFixPlugin
      

    I get the following message when I try to import mod into Frosty Mod Manager:

    Archive contains no installable mods.

    Do the following:

    • Manually unpack mod folder with WinRAR, 7-Zip or any other alternative software
    • Select all files with .fbmod and .archive extension
    • When those files are selected, right-click on any of them → click on Add to archive → pack those files as an .rar file (the name of that .rar file is irrelevant) 
    • Drag&drop newly created .rar file into Frosty Mod Manager

    I get a warning message saying that:

    Mod was designed for a different game version.

    Disregard this issue. All mods listed in this guide work correctly.

    I get an error message when using Frosty Mod Manager.

    You can find a list of common errors and possible solutions here or on Frosty Toolsuite Discord channel.

    I have dark artifacts during loading screens.

    For some reason none of the complexion mods work for me. Most of the faces are broken. 

    Any solutions?

    Great guide, thanks for it.

    Question to everybody, any other mods recommended by you to use alongside this guide? 

    PS. What about A lot of videos (ALOV)? I guess its not a problem to install it as one of the last mods?

    Can confirm this guide works well as of 2/22/2025, even in Linux when modding the game with the Frosty Mod Manager Linux Patch hosted here on Nexus. https://www.nexusmods.com/masseffectandromeda/mods/1190?file_id=6429.

    Running the game with proton experimental with no issues.

    Would also probably on Steam Deck, performance issues aside.

    Played on the original release on PS4 and never finished it because performance was so horrible back then. Glad to say the PC version runs much better, and this mod guide makes the game much more bearable.

    I'm playing again after years and this guide is helping me so much. I know you aren't playing anymore but hopefully you see this... thank you for all of the work you put into such a detailed guide.

    Hi, when I am installing this particular mod : Chained Princess Fashion Boutique → download and install (5 files): 1) Characters - Angara - Eyes - Horsehead Nebula,  it installs multiple colors of the horsehead nebula eyes, which one would you recommend choosing? Or which one would you say look best in the game and you are using yourself?

    Thank you for all of this by the way. <3

    Thanks for helping me justify my sub to RTGI etc.

    Also what happened with the mod pack (I'm just being nosey)? Is it permissions from I dunno, one of the authors, nexusmods site permissions technically preventing stuff, something else?

      One mod creator didn't give me a permission to share their mod/mods in that mod pack and it would be pointless to share it in an incomplete state, so it's gone from Nexus.

      I can still share it privately. It's approximately 890MB.

      Thankyou for indulging my curiosity, I have done the work and installed the current list :)

      I am a bit confused by the reshade preset though, you used to have a non-RT version. The current version uses only shaders from Marty's iMMERSE Pro? That's fine with me, as I have it, but just want to check that's right - no other shaders used. There's a few you've specified in TechniqueSorting which don't appear to be active.

      Yes. It only requires iMMERSE_PRO shaders package.
      Although my preset will only work with version 2403, NOT the latest one.

      Hi, I am very interested in your mod pack, can you share it with me privetly? I think it will be shorten procedure of instaling all the mods and make it easier to just sort of “plug n play”. Thanks in advance!

      I second the request if possible. Just finished installing mods with your guide for ME Trilogy and starting to mod Andromeda.

    Thanks for an amazing guide, definitely saved me a lot of time. Just wondering which version of Immerse Pro you used for your reshade preset? i have the latest version (2407) and it appears that options have changed and are not compatible. I would rather use the version you applied 

    Thanks.

    Hi,
    I have been experiencing CTD when I am about to enter the hangar during the prologue. Is there a solution to this?

    I'm having the best experience in the game like I've never had before, thank you very much for that. What do you think about adding these  mods, I think it would improve the experience a little more: 

    Increased AVP and SettlementPerks or Better Lab Technicians (less)
    Research Data Income Increase
    More Skill Points (Version A)

      They look compatible to me, but you will need to experiment yourself. I don't play this game anymore and don't offer support beyond what is listed in my mod list.

      After a long gameplay (almost the final mission) I can say that they are all compatible but I understand why you won't add more mods, I'm only playing MEA because of this collection of mods, thank you. I can't wait to finish this one and start LE with your mod collection.

    So does the MEA Fixpack deal with the abcent Blueprints for 6-10 tier armor sets? I've installed everything correctly, but after hitting level 40 - nothing. No Maverick, no Initiative, no Pathfinder. 
    Has this happened to anybody else? The only reason I even started with modding the game was the Maverick set.

      What happens when you disable all mods but MEA Fixpack, load a save when your Ryder is level 39 and then hit level 40?

      Oh, sorry. Forgot to update this. So I guess the fixpack decided that all the blueprints should be added on 41, 51 , 61 levels and so on.
      So it all works. Just one level later than all the other research projects.
