Mass Effect 3 was a highly anticipated sequel for cult-classic Mass Effect 2, a Sci-Fi Action-RPG adored by many across the globe. The game was released with huge hopes by both fans and developers.
The game received a lot of perfect scores at launch, but to the fans, it was still missing a lot of things that could have made it better. Fast forward to 2020, fans and dedicated modders have finally turned the game around with countless little fixes and improvements that translate into a much better game experience. These modifications definitely make Mass Effect 3 worth playing one more time.
Updated on November 26th, 2020 by Derek Draven: We’ve updated this list with 5 more excellent Mass Effect 3 mods that help transform the game and turn it into something beyond the base vanilla title. Incorporating these mods into your next playthrough is guaranteed to change the game experience for the better.
15 First Person Mode For Mass Effect 3
Mod authors frequently enjoy switching the view modes of their games, such as particular third-person perspective Halo: MCC mods. This mod does the opposite by swapping third-person perspective for first-person, which introduces an entirely new way to experience the game.
This is great for gamers who want to literally see the world through Shepard’s eyes rather than watch through the camera. It may take some getting used to, so gamers should be patient while the new perspective sinks in.
14 Ambient Audio Overhaul Mod
Mod author OrikonTheModder developed this fantastic audio overhaul mod that transforms the dynamics of sound in a way Mass Effect gamers have never heard before. This mod beefs up environmental and ambient audio while expanding stereo width and quality at the same time.
The differences are shocking, as demonstrated in the sample videos on the mod page. It rebalances audio and creates a far more cinematic experience in the process, which is especially good news for surround sound and headphone gamers.
13 A Lot Of Textures (ALOT) For ME3
This mod is a continuation of CreeperLava’s multi-person texture overhaul project for the entire Mass Effect trilogy, bringing crisp high-resolution texture upgrades to the game. The ME3 version alone contains 3,000+ reworked textures done in glorious HD.
It should be more than enough to tie gamers over until the upcoming release of the Mass Effect Legendary Edition trilogy. It’s also perfect for gamers less-than-impressed with particular game remasters that provide a lower-quality experience than the modding community has to offer.
12 A Lot Of Videos (ALOV) For ME3 – Unofficial Ultrawide Edit
Ultrawide gaming wasn’t really a thing when Mass Effect 3 was first released, which is why many mod authors are going back and creating mods that provide support after the fact. This Ultrawide Edit is based on the original ALOV mod by Melllin which upscaled all the game’s cutscenes up to 1080p/4K.
Paleforce’s Ultrawide Edit changes the aspect ratio for these vids to 21:9, which is suitable for most ultrawide monitors. Still no word on a 32:9 release, although many 21:9 widescreen mods are compatible.
11 Mass Effect 3 Ultrawide
This is another Ultrawide mod that expands beyond cutscenes and goes right for the base game. It changes the default aspect ratio to 21:9 (other resolutions may benefit from this mod as well) right down to the game’s UI.
It’s the perfect solution for gamers with ultrawide monitors that don’t wish to be hampered by the vanilla game’s base resolution restrictions. The mod also goes beyond what the popular Flawless Widescreen tool can do by directly manipulating the in-game assets in order to properly fit a super widescreen aspect ratio.
10 EGM – Expanded Galaxy Mod
EGM Expanded Galaxy Mod for Mass Effect 3, as mentioned in the name, expands the universe of the game. This mod adds a much-needed depth into the game by giving players access to Armors, weapons, and custom-built Normandy. Players can now enjoy many new assignments that work just as well as original ones.
The mod also adds an improved galaxy map interface, which covers the entire region from all of the games in the series. Expanded Galaxy Mod is one of the best mods players can get for the game.
9 ME3Recalibrated
ME3Recalibrated Mod for the game is created by a team of multiple modders just to give players a much better Mass Effect experience. The mod does it by fixing a lot of bugs that plagued the final release of the game. On top of fixes, it edits and rectifies all of the lore issues that were in the game.
And not just that, the mod restores content like conversations and adds graphical improvement, like fixing Joker’s teeth. The number of things the mod fixes are really overwhelming, and that makes it a must-have add-on for ME3.
8 Alliance Warpack
Alliance Warpack is a simple mod but adds much-needed depth to Mass Effect 3. The mod pack gives additional outfits to team members. Ashley gets defender, spectre, and terminus assault armors. Kaiden gets sentinel, spectre, and inferno armor. James gets garm armor, and EDI receives an assault armor.
By adding these mods, players can see their teammates wearing a more appropriate outfit to the situation. This mod needs the EGM mod to work and can be very easily installed into the game.
7 Extended Final Anderson Conversation
Extended Final Anderson Conversation is a mod that fixes the short length of conversation between Shephard and Anderson and makes it how it should be. This mod replaces a couple of pieces of dialogue during the conversation and acts as a part of the Extended Cut DLC.
The mod adds the full conversation with Anderson and uses camera cuts and additional animation to establish that. This is one of the add-ons that actually do not impact the gameplay at all, but rather enhance the story further.
6 ENB Or Reshade With SweetFX
By now, most of the PC gamers are aware of ENB and SweetFX. Their light sized mods are meant to make games look vibrant, sharp, and pretty. Like most ENB graphics mod, this is quite easy to install and makes the players feel truly at home within the game.
This mod fixes the dull coloring of the final game and gives it the visual fidelity the game needed. Mass Effect 3 is one of those games that are very beautiful when it comes to the concepts and characters, and a better-rendered image will always complement that.
5 Lights Effect
Speaking of graphical upgrades, this mod is another must-have to give Mass Effect 3 beautiful aesthetics. Lights Effect is a lighting mod that improves the original lighting of the game and fixes the saturation of colors and effects that usually hamper the overall game experience. With this mod included, the game more closely resembles its prequel.
Better lighting improves the visuals in-game, but on top of that, it also manages to add to the ambiance of the inter-galactic world of the game. Lights Effect is available on nexusmods.com.
4 Intuitive Controls Mod
If there is one thing that really puts off gamers around the world, it is bad controls. Throughout the years, there have been many games succumbed to poor use of gamepad controls or in the case of PC games, keyboard mouse controls.
Mass Effect 3 is not one of those games, but it does have a lot of room for improvement. That is where Intuitive Controls Mod comes in, to make the controls even better. With the mod, enabled players can have a much better grip on the character’s movement, responsiveness, and accuracy.
3 Female Texurepocaalypse
According to the modder, he created the mod because the female facial textures in-game were not up to par. The mod updates the diffuse and texture maps in order to add more complexity in the facial features of the female characters.
The mod highlights the features not only adding to the appearance of the characters but also giving them a quality of uniqueness. All of the parts of this mod are close to just 50mb, which is a decent size for a good texture mod.
2 Bonus Power Packs
Bonus Power Packs Mod is one of the mods for the game that centers around the gameplay. Very simply, the mod adds the multiplayer power-ups to the single-player campaign. With a lack of any official update, modder AVpen has created Bonus Power Packs as a means to boost Shepherd’s arsenal.
The mod unlocks powers like Arc Granade, Biotic Sphere, Tactical Scan, and more to be used while playing the story mode. Bonus Power Packs 1 and 2 are a must-have add-on for Mass Effect 3 and will really improve the overall game experience.
1 JohnP’s Alternate MEHEM
The biggest complaint that players had for Mass Effect 3 was its ending. Almost everyone disliked the way the game ended, and after countless reports of dissatisfaction, there was something that needed to be done. With the release of the extended cut, the MEHEM mod provides players with the alternate happy ending they deserved.
With changes in conversations and scenes, this mod is a must-have for gamers who want to feel good when they finish playing Mass Effect 3. To the players who are replaying the game, this provides a perfect alternate reality ending.
