What ME3Tweaks Mod Manager is

ME3Tweaks Mod Manager is a free Windows application for managing mods in the original Mass Effect trilogy and Mass Effect Legendary Edition. It installs mods with one click, including directly from archives, and can identify installed mods and detect conflicts. Game files can be backed up and restored either granularly or in full, with automatic texture LOD setting support. The manager handles MixIns, Custom DLC, and ASI mods, and offers cloud repair for corrupt mods. It updates itself through ME3Tweaks and supports automatic mod updates. NexusMods integration allows mod endorsements and update notifications for library mods from whitelisted developers. Developer tools create blank DLC mods, check for broken textures and other issues, and compress mods for deployment. The software can also update ME3Explorer (ME3Tweaks Fork), Mass Effect Modder, and ALOT Installer from GitHub. Use requires an official copy of at least one supported game, backup disk space, and administrator privileges as needed.
