- Bioware's Mass Effect: Andromeda is easily one of the more underwhelming releases from the developer, and for good reason - the story, mission design, and technical stability were considerably weaker than what fans experienced with the original trilogy. It's a disappointment, sure - but thanks to the magic of mods, we can instead shift our focus to some of the more enjoyable aspects of the game and make them even more enjoyable.
To that effect, here are 15 mods that drastically change Mass Effect: Andromeda.

Personally, I loved Andromeda. Which is why I’m bummed that not only was it so poorly received, but it’s ending hints at a sequel that most likely will never come.
Mass Effect 5 is currently in pre-production and was already teased and announced officially by Bioware.
It will come after Dragon Age 4 and will go back to the Unreal Engine as the Original Trilogy was developed in.
Its rumored to take place after Mass Effect 3 and quite some time before Andromeda.
@@xt0t4ld34thx so it has nothing to do with Andromeda witch is all about we talk now.
ME5 or whatever it's name will be a part of the trilogy, not Andromeda.
A lot of us want an Andromeda 2 or more.
Too bad we will not have an Andromeda 2 or more because of people whining about "Andromeda is no good. Only ME trilogy is good".
So sad....
@@hariszark7396 it seemes like the story of andromeda will fuse with the trilogy
@@NiME9600 we will see how it goes....😉
These gaming companies need to start hiring these Modders because they know what fans like and want!
They really should.
dude. these modders are just making Quality of life changes. the only massive one in this video is iron man mod. everything else is just tweaking some numbers and adding either more enemies or more powers ripped from the multiplayer
EXACTLY!" TOP COMMENT FRIEND!
nope, if they hire these modders, they'll just direct them to release something like the vanilla ME:A because then, these modders will be under their paychecks.
A lot of developers already are in tune with what people want but they have to fight upper management to make the game that the fans really want instead of a cash grab
That flying mod really just ought to be in the base game.
It’s stated in the codex that jet packs and jet boots are a thing in the mass effect world, and yet we don’t get to use them. The n7s actually train with jet pack and jet boot flight, so why doesn’t Shepard have them?
Giving us an anthem style of flight in the next andromeda game would be so much better than driving all the time.
Doing a play through ATM rocking the maverick armor is there any way to craft it above V besides buying it from the shops?
if you put this mods to play history mode, can you be baned from the multiplayer?
I never really had an issue with Andromeda, as I’m a pretty simple and happy with the basics guy. The only thing that did upset me a little is when you complete the game, and then check that terminal for the Quarian ark, you realise that there will be no DLC to tie everything together and bring the game to a satisfactory close. I didn’t mind that there wasn’t a trilogy or even a sequel, or even though there were bugs in the game; I did mind that the fans were visceral in their comments to the developers and the staff. That wasn’t right. State your complaints, give constructive feedback, but don’t act like an entitled and spoilt brat. It’s just a game, it ain’t life and death. All in all it was a good game, and if mods can make it better; then I welcome it!
Gotta be honest, Andromeda was awesome fun for me
With some of these mods on PC, yes!
@@arikelvara even without my playthru was good. The only issue was there's so much that doing it again felt a bit draggy
Me too.
Let's hope for a sequel and more.
Does project pretty also fix the Krogan? Cuz giving them all dead black eyes aside from Drax was a huge mistake
Hahah. Awesome! I’m gonna have to go back and play Andromeda again; I think that even the vanilla version was pretty fun.
Can't run game with frosty mod manager via Steam/EA apps. latest update screw something. Anyone have solution for this?
Install frosty fix so it can detect your mod
where are the links ?
MEA Fixpack, Ironman, and Hyper Mobility are 3 absolutely mandatory mods in my opinion. Everything else is optional (though very useful), but those 3 are game-changing in very important ways.
I personally use around 20 mods (but nothing that would break the game), and MEA is now so much more fun and enjoyable.
Does frostys mod manager work ok still? Also what mods do you use?
@@StaciaGroobyfivebyfive Latest Frosty works perfectly on MEA 1.10, as I don't see any problem.
Most of my mods that I use have to do with actual practical stuff in gameplay, only 2 or 3 are for aesthetics (like the one that removes Peebee's face paint across the eyes, the one to remove Scott's beard, or some casual clothes mods).
Besides the Fixpack, Ironman, and Hyper Mobility, I use Better Squad, and mods that rebalance Powers (skills), guns, melee weapons, and augments, and also Road Rage (for QoL). Also increased weapon hit range, and no combo cooldown. Some other QoL stuff such as increased inventory limit, instant mining, and a mod for the stupid Kadara doors.
Yeah. These. And I don't use the flight mod (Ironman) often, as I want to drive the Nomad and play how the game is intended to be played. (After all, I have Road Rage for it.) I only fly straight to my destination when I wanna save time.
And one other very important benefit of the Ironman mod is that it completely removes fall damage, which is good. I find fall damage stupid in a game like MEA, with our high tech suits, biotics, and jetpacks.
Road Rage too
I liked this game, actually. I just played it yesterday, and was a bit shocked when I found I had played through nearly the whole game without my teammates powers being leveled up. A couple of my crew had 112 unused points😂😂. And I still defeated the Archon anyway. I mistakenly thought my team's skills were on auto level-up, but not so. One thing annoying about the game is the way my squadmates would let an enemy pass right between them to attack Ryder. Also, they hardly ever finish off someone they were attacking.
The dialog in the game needed to be better, although the previous games were sometimes lacking as to following thru on a previous conversation. But the combat makes this game a fun time for me. Wish they hadn't messed up the backup life support, because you really needed it in the Voeld vault. Being killed by the cold is a dumb way to die; the armor sets should have had a temperature control built into them.
I literally just finished the game earlier, it's my first and only Mass Effect game, it's not that bad
Play the original trilogy Andromeda is a good game but it cant compare to the og which is the main reason it got so much flack it didn’t compare very well
Wittle baby finished Andwomeda? How cute, now play a real game that had thought and effort put into it. It’s the Mass Effect Legendary Edition. Wittle baby won’t think Andwomeda is a great game after playing the original trilogy.
Bro play the trilogy/legendary edition, you really missing out soo much
@@Caucasian60 it's not like ME3 is all that better. The fact that any game requires mods to make it feel more satisfying or better kind of proves that even the original trilogy wasn't perfect either. All in all, I actually enjoyed ME:A more than ME3. The gameplay combat is actually by far the best in the series. The ending was actually kind of epic considering you see all your squad mates actually help and do something in the final boss/act on Meridian. It's what ME3 should have actually had with all your previous and current squad mates.
@@Caucasian60 huh? You are not ok
But the game wasn't that bad as people make it out to be. I think it was just had cause of what the internet thought.
Gonna have to play Andromeda again with all these and try them out.
I really enjoyed this game not the original trilogy but I liked it as a new entry to set up a new trilogy
*Not like the original trilogy*
Who do I talk too to get theses mods
Appreciate the vid! Thank you. Can these mods be downloaded on XSX?
one would think a real gaming channel that covers all platforms would mention that. but this is gamingbold, so I am not surprised that they didn't. I guess they forgot to write into the script that they read from.
Most mods are PC only
@@Curt_Randall they may have assumed people watching would have common sense lol
perhaps we treated Andromeda too harshly
What I value most about Andromeda are the planets and its exploration mode that gives more of an "open world" feeling. Mass effect trilogy is primarily a shooter with zero exploration.
Would have appreciated links to displayed mods but thanks all the same.
A lot of people on here saying “Andromeda is my favorite ME Game!” Obviously never played the originally trilogy or the incredible story from the original 3 was too complex for their 8 year old minds to comprehend. The combat in Andromeda was cool, but EVERYTHING in the original 3 was amazing.
Everyone likes their own thing man. I'd love to see a full remake of the original trilogy with the engine from Andromeda
@@tylerbaldwin3269 Support for a game that can’t hold a handle to the original trilogy is never good. Everyone knows Andromeda was rushed out the door and poorly thought out. It was half assed. If EA sees they can cut corners and limp a game to store shelves and not put in the effort they put into the originals then they’re going to take advantage and we’re going to keep getting bad sequels because people like you like Andromeda. People like you like shitty games.
@@Caucasian60 You're entitled to your own opinion, but i disagree. You continue to trash on people for liking this game, as if Mass Effect fans can ONLY like the original trilogy. The story in the trilogy was outstanding, the combat wasn't great. The story in Andromeda isn't great, but the combat was fun. Andromeda was definitely rushed and wasn't anywhere near where it should have been, but games exist as entertainment, and this game was entertaining
@@tylerbaldwin3269 That’s the thing, and you said it yourself. The STORY in Andromeda was bad. The story, writing, and choices are what made the original 3 games. I don’t think many people played it for the combat. They played it because this game had a story that could surpass movies. It had player choice and player consequence. Any fan of the original 3 will understand that and that’s probably why everyone loved the original 3 so much. Andromeda strayed so far away from that and focuses on combat and better graphics. I’ve played Andromeda and I can’t remember a single choice I made, the name of a squad member, or a planet I explored because it was so lackluster and lacked the heart the original 3 had. I’m pretty sure Mass Effect 4 is going to be trash.
@@Caucasian60 So did you have all these great choices in ME1 or did it take 2 and 3 for your choices to really have meaning. Andromeda haters wanted a single game to be better than the entire trilogy. That's dumb. Andromeda is better than trilogy in every way.
This game needs a reboot is so good
Heck no, I'm glad there starting another mass effect and not following this trash
I want an Andromeda trilogy.
Original trilogy is not interesting me at all.
@@hariszark7396 no way you’re a real person
@@Jay_draco yeah, because "real people" must agree only to your opinions.....right......😩
Dude...this game got so much hate. It was nowhere near as bad as ppl acted like, but then again when mouth animations aren't synced ppl act like the sky is falling. You know why games were smoother way back when? They were simple af. There was no way the game would ever live up to the hype that ppl put on it based past experience amd honestly nostalgia drive a ton of it. Many of the ppl hating it the most came of age in gaming to the original trilogy, and guess what...it had its boring parts too. I played them all when they came out, they were good, and Andromeda was good, it was just never gonna live up to the impossible standard mixed with unreal nostalgia of the younger gamers (though now they are getting even younger, and im sure when the 12yr olds start tearing down perfectly good games because "my hair is clipping thur my pauldron, worst game ever!") Andromeda was fine. These mods add very little, if you need your team to do more, you have a problem. You are supposed to be the hero, overpowering and showing your team how dope you are. And jet packs...
Dude simpler? You act like this game was so innovative like they didn't fail at things already implemented far better in many games before
The story and dialogue sucked and a lot was reused. Compared to the first ME games this made it a huge disappointment.
@@theoneonly2406 thats a valid opinion, I didn't think it was as bad as people say but it wasn't incredible. But I also don't think the first ME story was that great either, 2 is where it got good imo. But the story was engaging, as far as reusing well yea but it made sense to me. The kett were less imaginative at a glance, but when you dig into it its kind of cool, one race of people being genetically "purified" to become a race that thinks it is superior, and we don't even realize that until a ways into the game. I know ppl were mad about not having more alien species dunno why they opted for really just the three enemy groups. My biggest gripe was just that the worlds were kind of boring. It wasn't bad, like inquisition wasn't bad, but the open world was just kind of there instead of feeling alive. Its a hard thing to accomplish and not a lot of games do it.
@@rickypen Yeah for sure I get where your coming from. I'd say it was 7/10 where that's still a good game but to me the trilogy is all 9/10 even ME3 with the horrible ending lol. ME1 was my favorite probably just because it introduced me to that world and I fell in love. So maybe Andromeda was doomed from the start haha.
@@theoneonly2406 ME1 can only be good if you played it when it came out. For new players ME1 is pretty bad, gameplay/movement is dreadful, it's glitchy, facial expressions are scary, and main story runs out quickly.
They need a mod to place ME 1-3 squadmates' appearances on ME:AE squadmates
there was also an 18+ mod with nude ryder. tho it doesnt serve no purpose other than to cater to coomers
Damn, I did 100% on MEA in every way, but I still want to continue it.
I just started playing for the first time and I have a question.
I've seen there are many side quests but I find them by luck.
I keep thinking that I may miss something because I didn't went in a specific place at the right time or I did a different quest and the side quest is not exist anymore.
How can I know I have all side quests and when I should do them?
@@hariszark7396 Fortunately most of the quests can be finished during the whole game after you unlock the areas. You only have to sweep the vaults, because you can't return there. And when you defeat an Architect, be sure that you get the loot from the crate it drops. Those crates can also disappear. These are necessary for the Remnant Data Core quest. If you miss those, you can't finish it.
@@Derively thanks for the information. 👍👍👍👍
Mass Effect: Andromeda is my favorite Mass Effect game, no idea why some people dislike it so much.
Same. My theory is that we never got the Quarian and other species Ark story as a DLC and only as a book, because of all the exaggerated criticism the game received. It’s on my top 3 games of the PS4 era 🙌
Mass Effect 1, 2, and 3 had revolutionized storytelling in video games while telling a great story. These games are the rare instances where people didn’t play it for the combat, they played it because of the story and branching choices. Mass Effect Andromeda fell flat on its face with its story. Now real Mass Effect fans will forgive you for saying you like Andromeda because it’s probably your first ME game and you’re probably like 9 years old.
@@Caucasian60 That is the problem with people like you. You play games for the story but not for the gameplay. Imagine having such disdain for that one element which distinguishes video games from movies. No wonder modern gaming is bad these days. You probably have ADHD if you cant concentrate on the puzzle aspect of video games which is gameplay
@@Caucasian60 A video game with excellent story but boring or subpar gameplay is not a good video game. Maybe a good movie instead. You get Telltale games that are critically applauded as games when really it's really just a bunch of cutscenes with dialogue options that dont even change the story that much when in all reality it would be a better movie than a video game. Or games like Red Dead 2 which by and large has some of the best music and story in video game history but one of the most linear, boring experiences in the series to date.
While on the flip side you have excellent games that forego huge story or cinematics in place of keeping the games fun or games that manage to squish both gameplay and story together into an excellent package, like the entire Metal Gear Solid franchise, and engaging, like Dishonored or Deus Ex or Arkham Games or Spiderman
I'm just tired of seeing people with no iq losing their shit with the whole "video games are art" movement. They absolutely are art, but they aren't art because they try to impersonate the next big blockbuster to appeal to a wide audience. They're art because they're fun.
@@brucew565 wow man, you wrote two separate comments, several paragraphs long that I’m assuming you’re defending Andromeda. I’m not going to bother reading the comment but you must have emotional problems when someone has a separate opinion from yours, judging by the novel I won’t bother reading. You should worry less about playing video games and go see a psychiatrist.
I wanted to love this game. Technical issues A YEAR AFTER THE DEVS GAVE UP ON IT made that impossible. I bought it three.fucking.times. On PS4 I'd get yeeted out of my ride on planets and be shot into space constantly making me reload. The facial graphics would give up on me and I'd speak to someone who wasn't moving their mouth at all. And on the final boss I blue-screened. Mid boss. Three times. I assumed "okay, it's just shitty on console. Fine" so I got it with Orgin. Same. Goddamn. Issues. On a PC THAT FULLY PLAYED CYBERPUNK 2077 AT LAUNCH WITH NO ISSUES. That PC could fight god and win...but not Andromeda. I even fell out of my ship quarters into space multiple times. Grabbed it on steam later too. All the same issues. NOW, my fifteen-hundredth attempt and I'm loading dis bish up with mods. If its going to crash every 5 minutes then I at least want to feel like it's my own fault because goddamn man, I am trying.
I just love that modders themselves put a lot of effort than any AAA dev teams could not do. Looking at their work towards Mass Effect Andromeda,just shows that how much improvements they’ve made. Every AAA company should take lessons with their mod works.
Yeah totally.... Because there would totally be a game to mod otherwise if they didn't put that effort in ey?
I wish "fast travel" was......faster.
Your voice sounds like the narrator from Mass Effect Encyclopedia lol.
Less than half of these could’ve made the slog so much more fun
Wish these mods were usable on system 😑
The story wasn’t as cool as the trilogy, and protagonists felt weak, and the antagonist feels boring…..but it was still a great game in its own
Just the fact that this game has a character named peewee, is enough to make me not want to play it.
The character’s actually named Pelessaria B'Sayle, and only nicknamed Peebee, not “Peewee”. Even if your so-called facts were correct, that wouldn’t be much of a reason to not want to play this game, which in my opinion was pretty good, despite almost inevitably disappointing in some ways compared to the ME trilogy.
@@TheReplenishingFlame ok yeah sure. Overall though the shooting, gameplay, and characters seem to be a leave a lot to be desired. You can’t carry the name of mass effect and not be compared to the original trilogy, and I think that it is fair to compare as andromeda is trying to be the original mass effect games so.
@@filmetiquette2409 Agreed that it’s fair to make comparisons with the trilogy since it’s cashing in on the franchise; and agreed about the characters being mostly underwhelming compared to the beloved trilogy crew, (though Peebee was arguably one of the more entertaining MEA characters, despite being loathed as much as loved). However gameplay, notably combat, is frequently considered MEA’s greatest strength, indeed eclipsing the trilogy in the opinion of many, myself included.
@@TheReplenishingFlame yeah but the combat just seems outdated and your squad doesn’t do anything but miss a bunch of shots, so….
@@filmetiquette2409 Not sure how the combat’s “outdated”, though point taken about squad mates leaving too much slack for you to pick up, hence the mod to fix that as featured in this vid!
Just some friendly advice for those who are thinking! hey, mods! unfortunately when modding or applying mods to games that use frostbite engine you will encounter problems, either with the tools used to apply them "version is out of date" or the launcher refusing to launch game, its possibly the worst modding kit in any commuity. I've unistalled a few games that use this tool, and I mod many games, including scripting for ARMA3
I started modding MEA last night, and noticed that out of date message. I tested it though and the mods still worked, haven’t ran into a launching issue yet but I also only have about 6-7 mods installed at the moment
I for one like ME: Andromeda.
Man I really don't know why I'm enjoying this game a lot I played it on my PS4 pro 3x already 100% completion every run .. make my male & female character look like Philip jay fry of futuruma an idiotic space shyt hahaha damn!
Andromeda is a good, if forgettable, summer blockbuster game. The problem is that it is a crap Mass Effect game.
This game could have been more👍👍
I want these on my ps5
Is there a mod that makes it a less shitty game too?
Yes, like stop watching shit that you think is shitty mod.
@@DrTTube no
try crack, its less shitty when ure high
Hot take. Andromeda is the most enjoyable ME to play.
The worst crime this game committed was to have “mass effect” attached to it.
This should have gone free all now.
Can I get bk my $6 for deluxe version of this crappy game.
Mass Effect 3 is the best..
Nice video! Almost makes me wanna finally buy this game. Almost...
The game IS good whatever they say.
Get it in a low price at Steam as I did a few weeks ago.
I'm loving it so far in the vanilla version.
I have never played ME1-2-3 ever thought.
Not planning to.
@@hariszark7396 Trust me. When you find time, do yourself a favor and play the trilogy. If you love Andromeda, then story and lore-wise these games are on a whole other level. There are no jetpacks, though. But overall ME trilogy is one of the best gaming experiences I've ever had
@@DrellSpectre I believe you but I don’t like the original trilogy for some personal reasons.
So I don’t think that I will spend the time (and money) needed to play them.
Maybe I am wrong but this is my personal decision.
Andromeda is fine so far.
Next I am planning to play something entirely different like Call Of Cthulhu or Uncharted. 😆
Most of these mods would unbalance the game and make it less interesting.
Those who are going to play this game now I'm sorry to say this most of the mods are no longer support the current version 1.10. So yeah you guys better leave it this game is DEAD⚰⚰
Frosty is useless for updated 1.10 !
what else could i use
Yall seriously have nothing else to cover other than Mass Effect Andromeda mods? Whaaat even is this 🤣 CERN is this you
You can mod this game 200+ times as much you want, but it will not change the hilarious memey animations to improve enough or writing. The game will always mediocre tier when it comes those things, which is majority of what you experience in the game. No amount of modding can redeem those things in the game.
Sorry to say, but I'll probably still never play this game. :/
Good To Know That Mass Effect 4 Still Sucks Like 3 Parts Before 🤦♂
