Normally don't bother commenting on videos, lmao. But THANK YOU for this guide. I tried following the older ones a few months back and they just weren't working. Would do the whole 9 yards, and game would launch as vanilla. This one worked like a charm, and I can now proceed to break MEA just like I've broken Skyrim :)

Thank you, started playing andromeda after finishing my 3rd playthrough of mass effect legendary games preparing for insanity and decided to give it a go. It was a slow start with everything looking weird and story related things just sucking for the most part though it is growing on me. The gameplay and and leveling system is awesome though and I hate how you cannot change the arms, armour or choose what abilities my companions use. So knowing that its easy to mod is great though not sure if it effects achievements though have already burned through half of them.

Took a day to learn what to do, got it working for hours and enjoyed a better Andromeda. Then Frosty Fucked me and is still Fucking me (the uncensoring of those words shows you my feelings right now). Bioware made a mistake with Frostbite and it seems even its Mod managers are user unfriendly. I wish someone would make the mods work on ME3Tweaks or make and Andromedatweaks so the mods stick for one, and work permanently for another.

great! now we would like a list of mods that you recommend..

I’m actually not sure! I unfortunately don’t have any experience with this specific scenario

Is there an alternative to Frosty, like, modding directly the game files? Wanna mod the game to play it on Steam Deck the whole EA overlay stuff and launching the game from the mod manager is too much for the Deck to handle.

Unfortunately because of how strict EA is with the frostbite engine, I personally know no other way to mod EA games without frosty.

I have the most up to date of MEA and the mod loader, but matter what mod I try, they all say they're from an outdated version of the game...

For some reason, never managed to get this bastard of an app to work... In the past, I had all my hard drives were in the incorrect format in order to use fmod, but now since I have one that is NTFS, I still cant get past that issue... Now it shows up just before the game has to launch, and it once again says that I make sure that the storage drive is formatted to NTFS... WTF already ??? >_

Very thorough guide. But I have a different query that no one can answer. By pain of death through stabbing by iron sword... interwebs are no goddamned help. I hope some kind soul in this area of the universe can assist me in my dilemma because nothing else can give me the information I need. I'm desperate... I have run Andromeda with Frosty and all the sweet sweet make things better mods for the Entire day, then all of a sudden it freezes every time I go back into the game at later periods. It starts, it loads, it lets me continue game, then as it loads it freezes RIGHT at the end of that white little load bar. I have deleted saves, I have loaded older saves, I have loaded other careers, I have deleted the mod data folder, I have unchecked and checked and painstakingly checked a mod at a time, I always run admin, I have the Frosty fix files, I HAVE READ EVERY FORUM and every time I search all I get is answers about LE and NOT ANDROMEDA or a repeat of some OTHER issue that is not mine. SOMEONE... please help if you can. My face is almost as tired as Addison. I'll soon be sitting at home in my PJs, taking Red Sand....

It looks like that frosty is blocked from accessing the folders where your game is downloaded. I’m not 100% sure how to revise this but try the below options and let me know if any of them work! 1. Run frosty in administrator mode. 2. Make sure frost and the game are installed on the same drive. 3. Look at the mod post and see if there is any history of errors, warnings, or compatibility issues. Also make sure you are following the installation instructions for that specific mod. 4. If all else fails, re-install both frosty and the game and try again!
