The LE3 Diversification Project is an initiative that aims to improve the immersive elements of Mass Effect 3: Legendary Edition by overhauling species population numbers, introducing female aliens for most humanoid races, and making the world feel less static. The mod is built from the ground up to work for vanilla players, while also serving as a foundation for new content introduced by content mods such as Spectre Expansion Mod. Below are some of the objectives we have made so far in this mod:

  • Rebalance NPC Populations so that humans no longer dominant the Citadel by adding more alien NPCs, as well as diversifying headmorphs, outfits and colours across the game.
  • C-SEC has been overhauled so that they're a multi-species organisation, and that they are wearing lore-accurate equipment from Mass Effect 1 and 2.
  • The Citadel evolves over time, with advertisements, club music, even passing ships being randomised. Your decisions may change the way the Citadel looks and those who live upon it.
  • Immersive improvements for missions to make it feel like Shepard is in the midst of a galaxy-wide, genocide conflict.
  • Pave the way for future content by building compatibility into this mod, that way if other mods add new story content it'll work in this mod too.

For a look at the full scope of changes made by this mod, take a look at the features below!

Yes! If you have that mod, make sure you delete it before installing this one.

"This looks like Project Variety, is it the same mod?"
Spoiler:

It isn't, although this mod and Project Variety do share many similarities in design goals. LE3 Diversification Project is the Mass Effect 3 version of the original diversification project released for Mass Effect 1 by Audemus. The link is to that mod is found here.

As our mods edit many of the same things, it's unlikely that Project Variety and this mod will be compatible, but its probable that down the line compatibility patches will be made.

"Is this mod compatible with ending mods?"
Spoiler:

It is!

"Is this mod linked with the other Diversity Mod Projects?"
Spoiler:  
Show
It is!

"Is this mod compatible with A Lot Of Textures?"
Spoiler:  
Show
It is! We have worked hard to keep the memory usage far below the memory limits and tested this frequently, so there should be no issues. If there are any, let us know.

"Is this mod compatible with Spectre Expansion Mod?"
Spoiler:

Of course! All my mods are compatible with one another.

"What do you have planned for the future?
Spoiler:

LE3 Diversification Project is a vast project, so we have decided to release it as an alpha before we expand it further. As you might expect, we have hundreds of ideas for how to improve the Citadel and many missions, as well as finding ways to introduce brand new content alongside it. Here are some of the things we are happy to admit we're aiming to make for future patches but this is by no means the definitive list of whats to come:

- Cinematic dialogue for Zaeed in the refugee area
- Cinematic recruitment dialogue for Ken & Gabby in Purgatory
- Hanar Embassy...

There's more on the horizon, but I'm not ready to reveal it all. :)

I have an idea, I'd love for you to add it to the mod! Would you?

Potentially! We have a lot of our own ideas to sift through first, but you can always post it in Suggestions article.
