About this mod

When you start Mass Effect 2, are you happy with max only 100.000 credits transferred from ME1? Do you hate that you have much grind for credits? Before last update in Legendary Edition it was max 1.000.000. This mod allows you to restore that or choose some other options. Also you can change amount of 2nd Playthrough reward.

This mod allow you to change Import Bonus Reward amount and 2ndPlaythrough Bonus amount. 

The idea of this mod comes from reading some forum topic when people was complaining that in last patch it was changed (before patch it was just limited to 10% of all credits so it was possible to get 1.000.000 and from latest patch you can get max 100.000 ). General consensus on that topic was that 500.000 is most balanced in early game progression. With such amount you can make some good shopping at beginning and when game progress you will need earn credits to do next buys. With default 100k many upgrades may be only reachable before end of game. Mod offers increase of that Reward to 300k, 500k or 1000k (choose version what you want ).

In game there is also reward for 2ndPlaythrough (+200.000 ) and you can also change that (versions with: 0 reward, 400k reward, 900k reward ). 
This mod is in optional download section.

You can install both mods or only one (remember that rewards will stack when you importing from Mass Effect 1 ).

OPTIONS for Import Bonus Reward  - in Original Edition of ME1 to get this there was requirement to get Rich achievement - it was getting over 1.000.000 credits and when game recognize it (not always instantly sometimes some minutes was needed ) you could spend that money and end game with less than 1.000.000 and still get Import Bonus Reward. In Legendary Edition there is no Rich Achievement but mechanism rather work similar (I don't find exact answer in Web and I couldn't tested it because I have only end game Saves from ME1 Original Edition what can't been use in Legendary Edition ). For certain if you finish ME1 Legendary Edition with more than 1.000.000 - you will get this Import Bonus Reward (I am not only 100% sure of situation when you reached 1.000.000 and then spend it and finish game with less amount than 1.000.000 - theoretically you should get 100% of credits what you have when finished ME1 and max amount will be what version you choose - 300k/500k/1000k ).

-500.000 - Most recommended if you don't getting 2nd Playthrough Reward.

-300.000  - This option for example can be used if you also will get achievement from 2nd playthrough of ME2 what is +200.000 (because it will stack ). Although you can choose 500.000 and "0" version for 2ndPlaythrough especially if you don't have idea if game will give you 2nd Playthrough Reward.

-1.000.000 - This was value what we get before last update of Legendary Edition. Definitely you are pretty rich with this and it definitely eliminate most need of grinding credits.

OPTIONS for 2nd Playthrough Reward  - default in game it is 200.000. This is for 2nd and every other playthrough. If game is imported from ME1 then it stack with Import Bonus Credits (this is 100k or more with mod ) and normal bonus credits (20k-50k ).
Requirement to get this rather isn’t finishing playthrough of ME2 but just starting playthrough once or getting some achievement what can be acquire at quite begin of ME2. 

-0

-400.000 - Useful if you finished Mass Effect without reaching 1.000.000 credits and so you will not get reward for Import Bonus Reward

-900.000


INFORMATIONS how other aspects of ME2 import system works:
-Mod not change Normal Import Bonuses - so you you will get also from 20,000 to 50,000 credits (depends with what level you ended ME1 ). XP and Resources bonuses also haven’t been changed. Mod for Resources bonuses can be find HERE

-New Game Plus -you get only 2ndPlaythrough Reward but not get Import Bonus Reward. At least that was in ME2 Original Edition. NewGame+ in ME2 rather is not much popular because your upgrades not transfer like in ME1 and ME3 - so beginning of game is very hard because enemies scale but you don't have upgrades - you can install THIS mod what makes New Game+ better experience, similar to NewGame+ in ME1 and ME3.
