Today I bring you a creation I made for @kashmiresims / @ch4rmsing, whom you can also find streaming on twitch under the name Rachums. She wanted a way for her Sims to online date, and asked if I could move the Crystal Ball functionality by twojeffs to the computer. And it turns out, I could indeed! So today what I have on offer for you is an add-on mod for the computer that adds the Find a mate crystal ball functionality to the computer, meaning your Sims can hop on any time, find Sims they have great chemistry with, and thanks to the sims magic, have that Sim appear next to their computer ready to be greeted and romanced! For extra realism, changing the settings on what type of Sims you want to see as options has to be done by your Sim, so it's like they are setting up their profile for what they want, before they browse. The interactions are not set to be autonomous.
I have also made an updated version of my edited Monique computer (more info on what I edited previously can be found here), with this interaction added (you still need the mod as well). Some of you might be using Midge's more computer options which among other things added the gypsy matchmaking interaction to the computer, I also have a version that is compatible with that mod. If you use the Midge mod, grab the compatible version instead of the standalone. Yay flexibility and options!
Download standalone version Download Midge "More Computer Option" compatible version
Download Monique's computer with the option added (you must download one of the files above as well, to get the functionality. Monique computer is only edited to add it to the menu, the mod itself is still needed)
The mod will not impact custom computers, if they have an internal menu. If the menu does not have custom options it needs to keep, you can probably make it compatible by going in and removing the TTAs/TTAB, and making sure the interaction table ID in OBJD is set to 81.
Some info: The "existing relationships" and "gender preference" settings are a little misleading. They apply to the target Sim, not your own Sim. So turning on or off gender preference, controls what sort of sexuality the target Sim has. Existing relationship refers to Sims who are married or the like, so whether or not you want to see only single Sims as options, or if Sims in prior relationships show as well.
Conflicts: Conflicts with Midge's "More Computer Options" mod, if you use that, please download the compatible version and make sure this mod loads after Midge's mod. Also conflicts with inteen package B, if you want to use this please make it load after inteen. I do not want to make a compatible version as I don't know exactly what inteen changed, and there's already multiple versions which gets confusing for you guys to figure out which to get. Not worth it :) The only thing you lose from inteen is whatever changes it made to computer menus. Load order will not help if there is a conflict not listed here, my mod needs every part to work so it either needs to be resolved, or you need to pick which one you want, like with inteen. Conflicts with the original release of Nopke's novel writing progress mod, if you have this conflict please revisit Nopke's original post to grab the updated version of the mod that does not conflict with mine, and is less conflict prone in general :) Thank you Nopke for resolving conflict!
Credits: @kashmiresims for the idea and the lovely thumbnail, twojeffs for the crystal ball code imported to computer, @midgethetree for the use computer framework I used for the interactions, monique for the computer, chaavik for the AL version of computer

Fin Fin on QEMU - v2.0 (Major Update)
6 Worlds
Tumblr media
For this first time in Fin Fin history.... all 6 worlds are playable in English.
Tumblr media
That's right... you can now meet not just Fin Fin, but Finnina and Fin Fin Jr.!
This release uses a modified version of the Taiwanese 6 Worlds version, and also includes a number of other modifications, such as modding in the Sound Recorder and Microphone Setup which are normally absent, adding in the sound effects from the US 5 Worlds edition, and adding in the 5 Worlds version of the Encyclopedia among other small tweaks.
At some point later on I'll make a post detailing how I did this for anyone interested. Its actually relatively simple, there just aren't exactly any resources out there for how to do it.
Tumblr media
Microphone Sensitivity Slider
The microphone sensitivity sliders in the Sound Recorder and Microphone Setup program were one of the only issues present in previous versions, and were one of the things I constantly tried to get working. However, despite a lot of time and effort, I could not get anything to work that didn't compromise other functions.
When functioning, all these sliders actually do is change the system Microphone sensitivity, rather than do anything specific to the game.
Tumblr media
Unfortunately, this means that it doesn't like to play nice with drivers if a device is being used that the game wasn't made with in mind.
So instead, I've just removed them entirely.
Tumblr media
Instead, a new shortcut has been placed on the desktop and in the start menu that can be used to adjust the microphone sensitivity.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Mouse Integration
Tumblr media
Previously, mouse input would be captured and could not leave the window when using Fin Fin on QEMU.
Now, the mouse can go in and out of the window without issue and is accurate to the movement of the host machines mouse cursor.
Tumblr media
Decreased Size
Compared to the previous version, this release decreased the size from ~1.2GB down to ~750MB, a difference of ~450MB.
Most of this came from unnecessary setup files on the finfin.qcw drive. These probably could have been removed before, but at the time I didn't realize they were redundant.
Tumblr media
Credits and Info
A new shortcut has been added to the start menu that when opened, will display the credits for the project along with the changelog and version number. This document will also be available in the MEGA folder and in the masterpost.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Shortcuts
Tumblr media
The desktop shortcuts have been updated to use a program called Nircmd for launching, rather than using MS-DOS, as it prevents the screen from going black and reloading whenever certain applications were launched. The icons were also rearranged slightly to include the new Microphone Sensitivity shortcut.
Along with this, a new shortcut has been added to the Fin Fin folder in the start menu, being Windowed mode. This is realistically kind of pointless but has one fun difference, being that while in 'Follow' mode, the camera will zoom in on Fin Fin.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The download link can be found at the masterpost!

Adventures in Playing with Unicorn Mods 🦄
I went out mod hunting today and was rewarded with a new mod find on MTS called Unicorn Adventures by LuSimLaStars. As the unicorn addict that I am, I knew this mod had to go in my game. Right now. I also knew it had to go in with Spinning Plumbob's Unicorn Mod for Horse Ranch. I had to know if they would play well together.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Unicorn Adventures adds a variety of unicorn interactions to game play. Phone options, rabbit holes to visit, a new lot trait, AND it changes the name of Sylvan Glade to Unicornville - which, holy unicorn poop, made me laugh so hard. It was the name change to Sylvan Glade that made me want to test this mod with the Unicorn Mod installed. You go to the Sylvan Glade to find unicorns you see.
Long story short, these mods play nice together. I just go to Unicornville to find unicorns now, you jive?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Sims can start their unicorn adventure by buying a Unicornology book or three from a bookshelf. Its right there among the skill books when you look to read it! This gets your sim the Unicornology skill. Each level of the skill unlocks new interactions and options for your sim to participate in. Woot!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
When your sim builds the Unicornology skill, they unlock a new phone menu - Sparkles. In there are a variety of unicorn activities your sim can do. Also, travel activities to send your sims to rabbit holes! Despite this screenshot, going to the cinema to watch a Pony movie really is just a walk-off-the-lot rabbithole. Hey, comes with a custom buff though!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
There is a whole chat menu that opens up as your sim learns Unicornology. You can ramble at other sims about unicorns all day long if you want! There is also supposed to be a pie menu on the computer to run a unicorn blog and write a unicorn book - as of today (May 17th, 2024) I can't get this to show up for me. I stripped every mod from the game except this and the xml injector and still no computer options. I let the creator know about that. Could be just a me thing though, who knows.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
That Uni stuffed animal that toddlers can babble at? You know the one. The Unicorn Adventure mod makes that into the portal to Sylvan Glade Unicornville. Click the view option on it a few times until other options begin to show up. Its a text based adventure to get in, just like Sylvan Glade has always been.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
You can still use the classic tree portal in Willow Creek as well, but having the Uni as a portal in your sim's house is pretty useful. Once you make it to Sylvan Glade Unicornville, those with the Unicorn Mod installed can search for unicorns just like they always have.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The unicorn, Gary (thank you, game, for that magical random name) showed up after a few searches and we are all set to have a real unicorn in our family and talk about unicorns ad nauseam with every dang nabbed sim we meet. 🦄🦄🦄

A new SAVE FILE!
Hooray!
Hi everyone! I am glad to introduce you my sims savefile.
Tumblr media
I've been working on it for at least a year, and now it's finished! I had so much fun building and furnishing, I absolutely love every single lot in the game, so I decided to share it with you and opened this tumblr to illustrate this new world.
Without going too far, I summarize the main points:
♡ you can download the save file HERE.
♡ I used all the packs, kits and expansions, updated to 3 january 2023. NO CC or MODS used.
♡ I modified all worlds except Baatu.
♡ no new Sim households have been added, but I changed them a bit and downloaded some from the gallery, special thanks to ObsidianLilith and Simyim, because they make incredibly beautiful sims! I invite you to follow them and see their fantastic creations.
♡ I furnished and built almost all of the lots. Some were so beautiful that I have included them, but there are very few. In this tumblr I will show you all the lots, and I will definitely tell you which ones are not mine (for example the Willow Creek museum).
♡ I always put a sugar skull in my creations. will you be able to find it?
♡ last but not least: every house has an umbrella stand and an air conditioner! it's very important to me LOL
♡ once you have inserted the file in your saves folder, you will have to click on Izzy Fabulous and his sister, as you will see in the image:
Tumblr media
Please do tag me if you end up playing in this save file. I’d love to see what you do with it! Thanks for checking this out!
If you have any quastions please feel free to ask.
WHAT IS A SAVE FILE?
"A save file in Sims 4 is essentially a backup file of your playtime in the game. It contains everything that you’ve played up to that point. One save file can be uploaded on the internet and shared among all players. You can also download a save file from someone else and load the game from their save point.
Your Sims 4 save file is located in Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/Saves, or a similar mods directory, depending on where you’ve installed the game. But generally, you can find your save file in your Saves folder. And if you’re using Mac, you could find it via the finder application that you have installed. Just keep in mind that if you are searching for mods or custom content, you can find them in the Sims 4/Mods directory, however the rooms, the characters, and lots you’ve created can be found in the tray folder.
When you download a save file from the internet, you should paste it into your Saves folder too. Keep in mind that you can have multiple save files in this folder. The important part is to select the save you want to load when you launch the game via the main menu." (source snootysims.com)

Tutorial - Your own character in Story Mode
Hello everyone ! I wanted to make this quick tutorial to show you how to actually insert and morph your Red Dead Online character in Story mode ! It's greatly inspired by Abigail Pinehaven and Chel's tutorial's, who I'm thanking today !
Sorry for my bad grammar again !
Prequisites
Rampage Trainer by RampageDev
OutfitChanger by LMS (Lenny)
ScripthookRDR2 by Alexander Blade
Installation
Place your unzipped rampage folder in the game root file, then add all other files into the game root file :
ex: C:/Azuresbazar/Programs/Rockstar Games/Red Dead Redemption 2
I recommend you to create a mod folder on your desktop, giving you a possibility to check which mods you have and how to delete them if you want, for example, to play Read Dead Online (you can be banned if you use mods on RDO).
To check if your mods are working fine, you should hear three "bips" when launching your game.
F2 - Opens Oufit Changer
F5 - Opens Rampage Trainer
Morphing your character
Now, let’s get started ! I will show you how you can morph your character using the generic presets of outfit changer. Our first example will be with a mp_female. This model is like a canvas, and the generic body model used in RDO for female players.
STEP 1 - Change your character for a female model
Open Rampage Trainer by pressing the keyboard command. Go to Player, then to Wardrobe, and click on Model Changer. You will need to type "mp_female" in the search bar, then press enter.
Tumblr media
This is Arthur before we change his model to another one.
Tumblr media
Your character will end up looking like a neckline and a pair of pants. Not really appalling, I’m afraid ! Changing the model will reset the player's presets and let you create a brand new entity. Your character won't have a voice.
STEP 2 - Head to Outift Changer
Now close Rampage Trainer and open Outfit Changer. Click on “Change Components MP Female”.
Tumblr media
STEP 3 - Select a head (along with teeth and eyes)
Click on "Heads" and choose the head you want to pick. I advise you to note the feature references you would like to use ! Unfortunately, there is currently no way to add eyebrows.(EDIT - If you go through Rampage Trainer's Outfit Variation for mp_female, you will find characters with eyebrows or makeup to start with from variation 75 or later)).
Choosing mp_female and adding a mp_female face via Outfit Changer will not provide you any facial details (no scars, freckles, makeup). I’m on my way to check game files and find the correct face to edit and add eyebrows and will make a tutorial when I'll find anything about it. Otherwise, you’ll have to do this manually with Photoshop. :')
Tumblr media
Here is our blank character ! Not appalling either.
STEP 4 - Create your outfit (hair, shirt, pants, hats... and so on !)
This process is long, seriously long, since hairstyles have no proper name, letting you navigate among them until you'll find a suitable one. I kindly recommend you to complete your character’s face with its eyes and teeth before moving forward to the outfit and hairstyle, so you won't be surprised if/when a cutscene triggers with your character looking like they came straight out of a horror movie !
Tumblr media
And here is a finished outfit !
Most of the outfit components are named like in Red Dead Online. For instance, this is the outfit I crafted for my own character, Adelaide Andersson. You can edit the shirt attributes by pressing the right keyboard key to have the sleeves rolled up or an opened collar… or both ! Feel free to use your imagination !
STEP 5 - Save your creation
Once you're done with your character's creation, get back to Outfit Changer's main menu and save your current outfit. It will save you countless hours of searching for components again !
Play with your character
Your character will now appear in cutscenes (she does in my game !)... and will have Arthur's voice. However, NEVER SAVE your game while using your own character, as it might corrupt and break your save file. Reset your character back to Arthur before saving any story progress.
You're now able to play as your own character ! You won't be able to talk with other characters (I tried getting Arthur's voice back, it did not work), but should be able to play just fine !
Make your character follow Arthur !
If you want to play Arthur again but still want to keep your character around, here's a very easy trick !
STEP 6 - Clone your character
Open Rampage Trainer, click on Player, then go down and select "Clone Player". Your Character should duplicate. Then, click on Wardrobe/Model Changer and select Reset. Arthur should be back on your screen !
STEP 7 - Take control of your clone !
Now head back to the main menu of Rampage Trainer and select the following : Peds/Hijack Ped. Inside the input section, type "mp_female" and press enter. It will allow you to turn your cloned character into a ped.
Tumblr media
To make sure your character has succesfully been hooked, head to Ped Database. Your mp_female should be added there !
Tumblr media
STEP 8 : Turn your character into a companion
In order to make your character follow Arthur like a companion, select your character in the ped Database, and press enter on "Bodyguard". Your character will now follow Arthur ! Don't forget giving them weapons, in case of a sudden bandit attack !
Tumblr media
You can also make your character mount Arthur's horse. To do such thing, double-click on Mount/Dismount my Horse. Your character should be sitting on Arthur's horse, behind him.
Tumblr media
Final result :
Tumblr media
If you want Arthur to interact with your character, you can go to General and select the option "Make Interactable". You can also set a voice for your character by clicking on Play Speech, then typing the name of the character you'd like to hear (if you want to hear Karen, simply type "Karen").
As of today, I've never heard my character respond with a selected voice, but Karen's slurs and frigtened shouts are triggered whenever I aim my gun at them !
NOTA BENE
Don't save your game while playing as your own character !
Your character will, just like in RDO, remain mute.
Save all your outfits with Outfit Changer, and take a note of every component you wish to use.
If you have any questions or doubts, don't hesitate !

Ass Respect 1
Last night @freakpatrol and I finished our Mass Effect 1 playthrough together. It was my first time playing, their millionth, and it was an Experience. I won't lie, I wasn't super invested in it until we got to Noveria, but once we did it kinda hit me. Let me explain.
Mass Effect 1 is a nightmare of a game. It's poorly designed, frustrating and definitely a product of the era. I think the biggest issue is accessibility. If Ari weren't there to guide me, I would have been so lost going through it and probably would have given up. Menus are confusing and there's virtually no explanation of anything. I literally did not mod any of my weapons or armor till the last stretch of the game just purely because going thru the menus sucked. Another lacking aspect were the side missions. In theory they were cool, but in practice it was a lot of
go to sparsely populated planet
find random building, go inside
oh the building is 1 of 3 different prefabs
kill enemies inside building
complete objective
go home
It was a slog. But if you didn't do them, then you're missing out on so much story, and it can affect your playthroughs of the subsequent games, so they were important. Realistically, this is excusable, the thing that really killed me was traversing the FUCKING PLANETS. THE MAKO IS A GENUINE PIECE OF SHIT. DRIVING THAT THING IS LIKE RIDING A HORSE WITH A DEGENERATIVE DISEASE. IT WAS TERRIBLE. WHAT MADE IT WORSE WERE THE PLANETS THEMSELVES. WHOEVER AT BIOWARE DECIDED THAT EVERY PLANET WAS GOING TO BE FULL OF MOUNTAINS THAT ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO SCALE IS MY ENEMY FOREVER. I WILL KILL THEM. Night before last we spent hours just doing side missions, and I guarantee a huge chunk of that time was spent trying to get to different objectives on each planet. Both of us were fucking furious by the end of it, I haven't been that pissed off at a game in YEARS. At one point I just gave up doing the optional stuff on the planets, like collecting minerals, etc.
BUT, for every bad thing about Mass Effect 1, the story, worldbuilding, and impact of decisions make up for it. The lore behind Mass Effect is so rich and expansive, it puts every other game to shame. I can't think of any other series that is so in depth about its races, characters, or universe. You've got the humans, who are just making their way into space & asserting themselves among the universe; the Turians: a militaristic avian-like race that mostly police the galaxy; Salarians: nerdy, feeble science types with short lifespans; KROGAN!!!! Badass fucking warrior race that are dwindling in numbers after being genetically sterilized & systematically purged after a burst in numbers; Quarians: AWESOME LOOKING tech-inclined nomads that travel the galaxy after being pushed out of their home system by their own creations; Geth: sentient machines created by the Quarians that evolved & rebelled against their makers; Asari: cool blue ladies; Batarians: a cool race that are unfortunately mostly only depicted as slavers & terrorists, not really seen in the game at all; Protheans: an ancient race with a technologically advanced society, that were mysteriously wiped out 50,000 years ago with barely a trace, whose technology we allegedly based our own on; Reapers: inorganic, sentient machines, and the true antagonists of the series, that reside in the void beyond the universe, waiting for their chance to return and purge the universe of all organic life; Volus, Hanar, Rachni, Elcor. ALL OF THESE COOL RACES WITH THEIR OWN QUIRKS AND MYTHOS THAT MAKE UP THIS RICH AND EXPANSIVE UNIVERSE. This is what the Elder Scrolls should have been, there's actual substance here.
Really hammering in the races making up the universe are the characters, especially the core team. My favorite members of the crew were Garrus and Wrex, I love them dearly and would protect them with my life. I chose them as my squad mates for every mission, partly because I love them, but mostly because they hate each other. Both are stoic hotheads set in their ways. Garrus is a Turian; former c-sec agent that wants out of the bureaucratic life. He's a little unsure of his path which I sympathize with. If you're nice to him, which you should be, he's a valuable ally. Wrex is a Krogan mercenary that you pick up on the citadel. He's had a tough life and likes to work alone, but you can eventually earn his trust and have him come to respect you. The part of Wrex's story that really stood out to me is when you make the choice to kill him or save him. You learn that Saren allegedly has a cure for the Genophage (the aforementioned genetic sterilization of the Krogan people) and is breeding an army of Krogan. You unfortunately have to put a stop to this. Wrex is rightfully pissed, and you can either calm him down or appease everyone else & kill him. I obviously made the choice to calm him down and save his life. I want to see him flourish. There's obviously more characters than that in the core team. For instance, Liara, the young Asari scientist that studies the Protheans and helps you gain insight on the galaxy's precursors. Who you can fuck. I fucked her. There's Tali, a Quarian on her Pilgrimage that joins your crew and helps on the ship. Kaidan and Ashley, the humans, who I didn't really give a fuck about. Ashley is a racist bitch and I absolutely let her die. Outside of your crew, there's Ambassador Udina, who sucks major ass and I hate. Captain Anderson, who punched Udina and generally rocks, I gave him the seat on the council at the end of the game. The council is another important aspect of the bureaucratic bullshit of the galaxy. I hung up on them a lot, but begrudgingly saved them at the end of the game so humans could continue to prosper and hopefully gain more respect throughout the galaxy. Saren, the "antagonist" of the game who was really nothing more than a pawn for the reapers. He was cool, and it sucks that he had to die the way he did. The point is, the characters are the lifeblood of this game and really stood out. Each having their own personality & story gave even more depth to the universe.
The last vital aspect of the game is you, and the chooses you can make. I'm a lil bitch so I went primarily paragon with my choices. I was mean when I wanted to be but mostly favorable to everyone I met. The coolest part is that this can change the later games. You can take your character with you into the 2nd and 3rd games and your choices in the previous adventures shape how the subsequent games are played. I think that's really unique, even by today's standards, and I'm really excited to see how it plays out in the later games. Especially for characters like Wrex. That's why we did the side missions, because the people you meet on the side can pop back up in 2 & 3. It's a really cool system that I wish more games worked with.
All in all, cool game, awesome experience. A nightmare in accessibility & game play, but makes up for it with the story, choice making, characters, and lore. After we finished, we immediately started 2 and I'm already loving it so much more. The world has been expanded upon, the accessibility is better, the game play is more streamlined, it's a better experience thus far and I'm excited to talk more about it when I finish it. Big thanks to my partner Ari (@freakpatrol) for introducing me to the series, playing with me & guiding me through it. It's really nice to play a story-based singleplayer game again after years of not. Okay that's my review rant. Thanks, bye.

Do you have a Mass Effect recommended mod list?
You bet!!!
First, here is a really excellent intro guide on modding Legendary Edition, which includes a list of recommended mods for each game, split out into spoiler-free changes that are friendly for a first play through, and spoiler/heavy content changing mods. There are a LOT of mods on these lists, but it's a good place to look and see what's out there and what piques your interest.
If you want to see my own mod loadout list for each game, I've included it under the cut!
LE1:
Tumblr media
This is the order I install this mod list in, as LE1 is a consistency/patching nightmare. Several mods include patches for other mods, so mods like Casual Hubs and Same-Gender Romances, which require lots of compatibility patches, need to be installed before a lot of other mods.
Make a backup of your game before you add mods. Restoring to vanilla if something breaks is very quick and easy if you have a backup, and it is easy to do with the mod manager.
Notes:
The LE1 Community Patch is a must (as it is for all three games). It is primarily bug fixes, and most every other mod for the trilogy is built on community patch framework.
Alliance Uniform Consistency/Casual Hubs/Same Gender Romance Mod are staples for me. Even if you are not doing a same gender romance playthrough, SGR mod will eliminate ninjamances, among other delightful tweaks.
The N7 Leather Jacket for male Shepard is now known as Ported Casuals for Male Shepard (I just haven't updated that one).
The LE1 Diversification mods is amazing, but requires the Halcyon Hair Pack and Advanced Weapons Models for LE1 to work. I prefer the original weapon models in general, so when I am not on the Citadel, I install everything but those mods. I have tried turning them off and it doesn't work (the textures for the original guns are no longer there), so I vanilla the game and re-install my core mods when I leave the Citadel.
Pinnacle Station is the big mod I haven't installed here, so I felt the need to mention it.
To get Shepard in their LE3 armor in ME1 you actually need two mods (if you are not a soldier who can wear heavy armor): 1. Iconic Fashion Party, in which every armor you equip becomes the heavy Onyx armor. 2. ME3 N7 Armor, which makes the heavy Onyx armor the LE3 armor.
I am still on the fence on the Private Message Terminal/A Little Help From My Friends mods - I love the added functionality of the message terminal in LE1, but I always do all the fetch quests on my own, so I almost resent the help. I have a feeling most people do not resent the help on mineral gathering. XD (If I am really ambitious one day, I might dive into the guide for the message terminal and see if I can make a mod that delivers messages from the 'Yang crew throughout the game....)
LE2
Tumblr media
This is my mod list for LE2. I spend less time modding it, since it is generally the game I am most anxious to speed through, so this may not be the best example of a comprehensive recommended list.
Notes.
Flycam is a non-Nexus mod I made following this tutorial. It is necessary if you want to use the LE2 Less Restrictive Pause Menu & Photo Mode.
LE2 Less Restrictive Pause Menu & Photo Mode is INCREDIBLE for photo mode, but it's buggy. If you are not interested in using photo mode/screenshotting cut scenes from different angles in fly cam, you do not need this mod.
I believe Sheploo appearance consistency project is necessary for a lot of casual clothing mods, because for some reason LE2 Sheploo is cheeto-colored.
If you are using EGM Armors for LE2, be aware that when you first wake up, Shepard is in their skivvies, and will be until you select a casual outfit. Which you can do on Minuteman Station, and if you do not, this happens, and you're welcome. (Either that or this happens if you install EGM Armors after Minuteman - either way it's incredible).
Tumblr media
LE3
Tumblr media
Notes:
Like LE2, Flycam is a non-Nexus mod I created myself, following this tutorial.
At last check, Unlimited Fuel ME3 was not compatible with one of the other core mods, and doesn't work (you can give yourself gobs of fuel via a save editor, however).
The same caution on LE3 Less restrictive Pause Menu & Photo Mode applies here as it does to LE2. Here's a fun look at one of the bugs (which I see as more of a feature, honestly, and you can mostly avoid this bug if you are not using a controller during conversations).
Shoot With Your Mouth Closed is a fucking incredible QOL upgrade that gets rid of the dumb battle grimace Shepard wears in combat. There are two versions, one or the other should work. If you are using photo mode at all during combat, I highly recommend this mod.
I think Anderson's Final Conversation Restored is a mostly redundant mod if you're using the Happy Ending Mod. I just haven't cleared it out of my library.
Expanded Galaxy Mod is huge with an almost overwhelming amount of added content - I highly recommend it as a must-have.
A very important mod that is missing from this list because I have not played LE3 since it came out is Project Variety (LE3). I cannot even begin to touch on everything Project Variety does - look at the mod page to see for yourself. This mod is not compatible with the LE3 Diversification project - you need to choose between the two of them.
Same Gender Romance Mod is not out yet for LE3, but if you are doing mShenko, the romance flags will carry over, and there are only a couple of minor hiccups that are easy to overlook.
There has been a bunch of neat stuff out for LE3 since I last played it, so I am sure there are some great mods missing from my current list that I need to investigate. But this is what I have right now.
I'm sure there is a ton more I could say, but I think this is a pretty decent summary. Holler if you have any questions! I have next to zero knowledge on how to create mods, but I've gotten comfortable installing them and understanding some of the quirks.
The Mass Effect modding community is absolutely phenomenal. The fact we can mod the games at all is due to the dedication and hard work of a lot of fans. The toolsets they've created are incredible, and there are some REALLY amazing things being done right now with these games.

Capturing the ambience of Ultimate Spider-Man
Running the game
The retail game crashes on startup under Windows 10. Download the "rip" hosted on My Abandonware instead. As a bonus, this package also includes a widescreen + 60fps fix.
However, the widescreen fix isn't perfect - some full-screen effects like lightning flashes will only render at 4:3, and need to be recreated at 16:9 in post.
Hiding the HUD
Use the Debug menu mod. Under its "Options" menu you'll find a toggle for "Render FE UI".
Tumblr media
(Not) Hiding the player-character
I wasn't able to figure out a good method for this. I tried using TexMod, supplying fully transparent textures to replace those mapped to Peter's body. However this didn't work as there seems to be a vertex color pass on characters:
Tumblr media
I also tried simply removing the PCPACK files for certain costumes (e.g. PETER_HOODED.PCPACK), but this triggers a crash. We'll need to simply point the camera away from our character instead - read on.
Free camera
Tumblr media
Get the latest version of krystalgamer's debug menu mod. I also found two in-development forks which expanded on that original project: MrMartinIden and MrUltimateSpiderManMODDER.
Inside its expanded menus, you'll find remnants of camera features from the Xbox version this port is based on*, plus many other additional developer options.
After trawling YouTube, I also found a full PC build** with many more debug menu options! Among other things, it offers the ability to freeze the camera, and disable pedestrians. To get overhead shots, we can jump up high and toggle the camera lock.
*This is labeled "User Camera on Controller 2", possible referring to an ability for Player 2 to freely move the camera around. I've seen this in other games before. Unfortunately I only own one controller, so I couldn't test it myself. It also seems like it may be a work-in-progress on the fork linked above. See USERCAM_ON_CONTROLLER2.
**It's unclear who is responsible for this build - this uploader mentioned a user called darkou3487. I found an Xbox prototype that may be relevant to its ancestry. Perhaps it's this repo?
Change Time Of Day
Tumblr media
krystalgamer's menu allows users to chose from USM's four possible time values.
Selecting "Switch Hero" from the pause menu will also advance time. You can do this repeatedly until you land on the desired setting.
Extracting sounds
Use vgmstream to convert the game's Data\Sound\pc\STREAMS\STREAMS_SFX.WBK bank to WAVs. You can also check out MrUltimateSpiderManMODDER's scripts and tools to extract game archives.
Version differences
USM was released to many platforms - which version should we take our sounds from? Picking a stream at random, it seems Gamecube offers the highest bitrates:
PC - IMA 4-bit ADPCM 96kbps
PS2 - Playstation 4-bit ADPCM 109kbps
GC - Nintendo DSP 4-bit ADPCM 112kbps
XBOX - XBOX 4-bit IMA ADPCM 108kbps
Admittedly, they all sound the same to my ears!
Putting it all together
Overlay the ambient streams onto your no-HUD footage.

Ray O. H.: Hello Minecraft Mod team. I would like to request that you approve my grass texture
Moddy the Moderator: Many Minecraft speedrunners are big fans of Ray's textures. Also, I do not think this texture provides any advantage, so I would like to approve it.
Moddy: However, I think many possible changes to the grass texture might pose an issue. This kind of change has to be approved on a case-by-case basis. Therefore, I will add Ray's grass texture to the list of pre-approved texture changes.
Matthew Bolan: Hello. It is I, Minecraft glitch hunter Matthew Bolan, well-known as a former set seed world record holder. I have a Twitch emote which my viewers think it would be really funny to put on End Crystals. May I use this resource pack?
Moddy: I do not think this pack provides an advantage, and Minecraft Glitch Hunter Matthew Bolan's viewers will find it very amusing.
Moddy: Furthermore, I think there is not any change someone could make to End Crystals which would be problematic. No one ever really needs to look at the End Crystal texture. Therefore, I will add End Crystals to the list of changes which don't require pre-approval.
Shifty Sam: Hello. It is I, Scrupulous Sam. For no particular reason, I would like to use this resource pack which, among other things, renames stone pickaxes to "Q".
Moddy: Sam is clearly trying to sneak something by me. Furthermore, I am familiar with a hypothetical strategy where the recipe book could be used to save time in menuing. I will reject this pack, and will also add "renaming craftable items in 1.12+" to the list of prohibited changes.
