I installed 150 mods in an attempt to fix one the worst EA games ever released - Mass Effect Andromeda. They improve combat, gameplay, graphics and overall - make the game much better. Enjoy.

    Important things, that I forgot to mention in the video: 1) You need Frosty Mod Manager to install and manage mods for Mass Effect Andromeda. Link: frostytoolsuite.com/downloads.html 2) You MUST also install FrostyFix if you use EADesktop or Steam. Otherwise, mods will NOT APPEAR in your game. Link: github.com/Dyvinia/FrostyFix 3) 'First Person Toggle' is not compatible with majority of combat overhaul mods. 4) 'First Person Toggle' is hidden by its author but you can easily find an alternative download link on Google. It takes like 3 seconds... 5) 'Groundside Firepower Pack' is INCOMPATIBLE with nearly all combat overhaul mods and all clothing mods. Your game will CTD if you combine incompatible mods with 'Groundside Firepower Pack'.

    The reason it works so well in FPS mode is no doubt the reason the game had problems to begin with: the frostbite engine.
  • The reason it works so well in first person is because of the frostbite engine they used. (Battlefield uses this engine) EA tried to save money, that was a big mistake
  • I'll put it this way. If you don't like the main story and characters, then no amount of mods can fix this game. The game looks fine and the gameplay never bothered me. Customization worked well enough for me so I didn't have a problem with it. The number one problem I and many others have with this game is the story and characters. That unfortunately is something that cannot be fixed by mods.
  • WOW I'm Diggeric (username on nexus mods) who created the Base Asari Tweak retexture! I'm so happy you used and liked it!! Thank you for using my mod!!! Big love and great vid!đź’™
  • @5000cz
    As much as all these mods help the game be more playable, the story is where I care the most about and it's just so goddamn disappointing. Need a mod that completely overhauls the entire story lol
  • @ForemostCrab7
    The absolute worst thing about Andromeda, is that if they kept it up, they could've turned it around. Look at Cyberpunk 2077, No Man's Sky, Witcher 3, ALL had absolutely horrifyingly bad launches, yet they've managed to turn them around...That kind of dedication is what we need, That kind of Dedication is what WE Ask For, a Team of devs who seem to actually give a flying f*ck about their game and refuse to let it stay in the gutter, unfortunately those kinda devs are few and far apart.
  • incredible effort from you. Respect, and I believe you may experience several crash due to mod conflicts. thanks
  • shorter cinematic for take-off and landing is a must. same for anything that helps you cut back on the time wasting like faster door animations and faster Nomad with better boosts.
  • Mods aside, I love the detail and work you put into this vid. Not a simple list that read about, but the passion you put into this is clear to see.
  • Andromeda was the first in the series i played, im playing mass effect legendary edition now and loving it, best series ive played since fall out, your mods are just the nuts.
  • @Dagrik.3851
    You just did the game a better marketing than their entire effort in 12mins.
  • Great video! Thanks for sharing it as even those who've never played the game can enjoy it!
  • @gilmadreth680
    Damn, that flashlight was so intense it blasted you through time and space into a superior game
  • @Viper3220
    So glad I found your channel. Excited to try this especially with 1st person mod
  • @AwesomeViibes
    Your production quality is amazing, you know what you're doing and how to do it🎉 godspeed Synth
  • @ek9385
    Is there a mod where I can throw Liam out of the airlock?
  • Props to Synth for sharing your passion. Unfortunately you probably knew the video was just going to get hate from…well…majority of people who played Andromeda and recognized its glaring flaws right away. I hope the people who like the game follow your guide and enjoy it even more.
  • Excelent work! I think the most annoying thing was the dwarf like bodies.
  • @bopbop076
    Watched 2 of your video and they are both very good, has a heavy modder myself you almost made me interested in playing Andromeda. great stuff anyway!
