TLDR: mod will be updated here. Idk when, but it will. I gave permission to some volunteers to edit my files however they like, so good news are: - work is in progress, mod is not dead entirely! - there is progress in development!
Some ranting for interested parties: So, i am somewhat better now, i feel like i figured out my life troubles. But at the same time it became apparent that i feel like i am past my MEmodding phase. It was a great adventure, and i had a lot of good emotions from it, I sincerely enjoyed my time with the community and performing some code magic to bend game and its outputs.
I no longer feel guilty or bad since i was reached out by other community members, willing to participate in carrying my work on, and instead i am infinetely grateful. I am grateful to Trench for being the person who managed to perform some deeply dark magic to fix that one bug that i did not figure out, and moreso - continuing mod development further. I am grateful to several other people, who contacted me. Some didn’t know how to mod entirely, yet still expressed interest in helping. I am grateful to everyone who decided to reach out via DMs to write me some words of kindness and support. I am grateful to everyone, who expresses concern or support here, in discussions.
And i am infinitely grateful to all of you, members of MEM community, who persist in showing interest to my work even after i am long gone from this field.
It was a cool ride. I am not sure if i will go back to this, but in the end it really was great.
Heya folks - I'm one of the people helping out to restoring this mod, and I also unfortunately ran into some personal issues that slowed down my work on this for a while. I'm hoping to get back at it very soon though and hopefully will be able to provide a working version of this mod before long, and then from there maybe even expand it a little.
Updates to this page hopefully soon, and if you're interested in helping out with development feel free to contact me.
Thanks!
EDIT - the GitHub repository is NOT replacing the mod here, it's purely to enable mod makers to collaborate on working on the mod. If you really want to you can download the mod from there, but I wouldn't recommend it. As soon as we have something that works well enough to be usable to anyone who isn't a modder, we will upload the file here.
has anyone tried this out with project diversity + spectre expansion and EGM? does it still function as long as this mod is installed last / overwrites?
I commented about my experience below, it works very well with Proj diversity and the mods above. there are more bugs with fem shep but male shep is relatively bug free
Regarding Priority Earth mission, I tried out both Priority Earth Overhaul and Take Earth Back mods separately. Take Earth Back seemed to work flawlessly with this mod, without me needing to fiddle that much with any of the "true love" setting. I never got past the FOB part with this mod though, i swapped over to Priority Earth Overhaul.
In Priority Earth Overhaul, in order to get the ashley or Tali romance scenes, you have to flip on the True Love setting to them before doing their FOB goodbyes. All the non-squadmate romances seem to work during the video call regardless of the True Love setting. Liara as long as she romanced also seems to work regardless of setting. I also did not get a white screen with Priority Earth Overhaul at all.
I played both of these mods with EGM, Diversification Proj, and Spectre Expansion
Regarding some of the issues in the citadel DLC party if you go the "extended party" mode: I had the same issue where it replayed the quiet cooking 2nd phase when you choose the Dance option, I just had to talk to Garrus again which then allowed me to take the group photo. After that, it played the dancing phase, with no music. I saved and reloaded (exit to desktop) and then the music was back again, so thats a nice workaround for people running into the same problem. Then I had to take the group photo again to trigger the after-party. On the cutscenes back to the Normandy, Joker was invisible. your "true love" is also invisible it seems if it's not a normandy squadmate. Swapping the "true love" to Liara allowed the love interest to be visible for me.
so, just checking before i go ahead and install it, i would NOT be able to romance tali as a femshep? since this mod is incompatible w gay mods? there's no mention of her, specifically, so i just wanted to make sure ^^
Did you happen to test this? I am wondering the same, since AFAIK there is no actual gay romance mod for Tali but I read that you could still continue that romance you started in 2 because the game doesn't actually check Shep's gender flag, female Shepard lines just don't have audio in some parts. So I'm wondering if using this mod would break the continued Tali romance even if there is not an actual Tali mod installed for LE3? I don't blame you if you never ended up installing, but I figured it was worth asking! :)
I played from ME 1 to ME 3 and I was using this mod. I had male shep with NO GAY ROMANCE. I had multiple romance from ME 2 and I had Liara romanced from ME 1. I had many mods that were active like comunity patch, better ending, take earth back, omega dlc mod, specter stories mod, expanded galaxy mod. I had 2 issues: -Garrus comments that you did not take him as his boyfriend to the casino in the Citadel DLC. -At the end of the game, after Anderson dies, the game goes completely white screen. I do not know if it was this mod or any other mod.
So the final verdict is: This mod is still playable if you are playing straight male shep path.
is it possible to experience romances then edit the romances with the Trilogy Save Editor (unchecking that you romanced them) before the end of the game or when you experience a bug? I downloaded all those mods and a big mod called Project Variety which also said that its not compatible with this mod but I really want to romance everyone without doing a ton of playthroughs.
I did this exact thing years ago before this mod existed. Unfortunately it requires carefully understanding when certain romance events occur on the presidium and you need to be switching them on and off as you play. It will glitch certain cutscenes with multiple characters overlapping each other (mostly towards the end of the game). Sex scenes have a priority order so you'll only get one of those.
Even with doing all that, for me, Liara wouldn't completely trigger properly as some events (like when she shows the humanity timecapsule she made) used the "friend" dialogue instead. Lastly, and most annoyingly when it happened, is that even though I was romancing Tali, the game still played the Tali/Garrus romance subplot (although there is a mod to disable that entirely).
I wonder if this mod would be playable with a bi male Shep romancing Miranda (vanilla romance for her, no Miranda Mod) and Garrus (Gay Garrus), if I disabled it when necessary? Since Miranda has no sex scene in vanilla, would the Gay Garrus mod take priority, or would it be safer to just disable the mod, when I know a potentially conflicting scene is coming up? (I guess that's always the safest answer.) Not sure about the Citadel DLC, but I guess I'd finally have him settle down with one of them.
The white screen issue happened to me, too, for the first time with my most recent Shep who finished ME3. I was playing with some of the other mods you mentioned but not this one, so I don't think the poly mod caused it?
mod manager Hey there looking forward to playing with your mod!! got everything i wanted and I ran a diag and noticed its not compatible with the Happy ending mod ( i also have citadel ending mod on too).was wondering if i could keep it and just disable\ re enable for the necessary parts? if not no big deal just figured i would ask https://www.nexusmods.com/masseffectlegendaryedition/mods/323 https://www.nexusmods.com/masseffectlegendaryedition/mods/1018
Could you please allow us to download the versions currently in your file archive? I particularly would love to use your first release, as I did a perfectly working playthrough with it. Thanks for this mod!
i have the 1.0 file still and the mod manager is yelling at me to update, im not, as the latest version is just worse, but if anyone wants it hit me up, i could find some way to send you it
Just checking, but as of right now, this mod currently says it is not compatible with any other ME3 mods. And the patch process involves over-writing game files such that if you have another mod that touches any of the same files .. whichever mod is applied later will over-write the changes from the first mod in that one (or more) file.
I was hoping to only apply: community patch more gay romances and this mod ..
But it sounds like I risk corruption if I use *any* mods with this one .. if I understand this all correctly?
Also, when I imported it into ME3TweaksModManager, the manager complained about its format ...
Update: running with the above mods + unlimited weight mod .. only thing I have noticed so far is sometimes no audio for dialog about/with ashley, and one time maleshep voice instead of femshep. Other than that so far so good .. just chatted with recovering Ashley.

Mass Effect 3: Liara angry about Shepard romancing someone else (all romances)
I can't get them to trigger, I thought I'd at least hear the Allers one since its a side fling.
