A new Mass Effect Legendary Edition Happy Ending mod was uploaded a few days ago to Nexus Mods. Created by Audemus, it is inspired by the original Mass Effect 3 happy ending mod. Its goal is to allow Commander Shepard to survive the final mission, of course, but there are several other tweaks and changes as outlined below (with as few spoilers as possible).
- The Crucible is no longer space-magic.
- The Starchild/Catalyst is no longer present in the ending - but you can still get a dark ending if your EMS is low.
- The Crucible docking scene is now more exciting and tense.
- The Citadel & Mass Relays are no longer damaged/destroyed
- An expanded epilogue sequence.
- Commander Shepard survives.
- Built with Citadel Epilogue Mod (to be released later in 2022) in mind.
To install the Audemus Mass Effect Legendary Edition Happy Ending mod, you’ll need to use the ME3Tweaks Mod Manager tool, also available on Nexus Mods.
Does this mod work with romance mods such as More Gay Romances? Yes! The mod does not check for Shepard’s gender when checking to see who the LI that appears at the memorial should be. It just looks at your save to find your active romance. So it will work perfectly fine no matter what romance mod you’re using. In fact, we even added forward compatibility to allow for Joker or Thane to appear at the memorial if a mod releases in the future that makes Joker a romance option or allows Thane to survive ME3.
What about Take Earth Back? Is it compatible? Yes, it’s fully compatible.
