Frosty Tool Suite
Best Mass Effect Andromeda Mods
Generally speaking, we prefer to list mods that are fun, unique and occasionally superfluous. No-frills mods with undeniable utility get considerably less run, because they’re… well, they’re just dull.
However, every now and then, a mod comes along that acts as a lynchpin for most other things to work around, and this is the case with the Frosty Tools Suite. So many other mods require it in order to operate, that it’s practically a necessity.
It also sounds like a Herb Alpert track from the early 80s. And that’s cool, too.
Romance For All
Best Mass Effect Andromeda Mods
Love is love, man. So let’s unshackle ourselves from the conventions of gender, and live the way we choose. This mod allows the male Ryder to seduce the gentlemen he works with, while the female Ryder can take a crack at the lovely ladies aboard.
As a bonus, this mod also lets you pursue multiple relationships, which is excellent if you’re hoping to go down a ‘My Five Wives’ route. Just be aware that shifting the original gender around can lead to some clipping in cutscenes, which is to be expected when you insert a surprise booby into a place where it hadn’t been lurking prior.
CC Overhaul
Best Mass Effect Andromeda Mods
There’s always time for beauty, though when you’re floating adrift through the cosmos, your look can sometimes leave something to be desired. No need to put a paper bag over your head however, as there’s a mod that will allow you to get dolled up to your heart’s content.
We’re talking blush, eyeliner, eyeshadow and lipstick – a lethal combination that, when expertly applied, can bring even the fiercest foes to their knees. Remember to contour.
Shorter Landing Times
Best Mass Effect Andromeda Mods
We live in an era of gaming where cinematics have become so deeply entrenched, they occasionally take precedence over the actual game itself. How many times have you been subjected to a lengthy cut-scene, with no option of skipping ahead?
Mass Effect Andromeda is no less guilty than anyone else, and this can be especially grating when all you want to do is get on or off a landing destination. Downloading this mod will hasten the cinematic by a considerable 90%, allowing you to stop watching the pretty thing do the pretty animation, and get back to doing what you were supposed to (hooking up with attractive crew members).
Road Rage
Best Mass Effect Andromeda Mods
Recklessly joyriding around in your buggy and end up crashing into a hapless life form that wandered across your path? In Mass Effect Andromeda, this will only end up doing minor damage in situations where they should probably be filing a lawsuit.
Download the Road Rage mod in order to ramp up the ouch factor whenever you turn someone into roadkill. There’s even an option to quadruple the damage, should you want your victims to be somewhere between dead and a pile of goo.
Shut up SAM
Best Mass Effect Andromeda Mods
Snow up to your kneecaps, and only getting thicker? The last thing you need is for SAM to be spouting some useless intel every time its thermometer drops to a certain point. Download this mod to put a lid on the musings of old SAM (short for smartass machine), allowing you to focus on the task at hand,
To invoke the text interface just type: # nmtuiThe command line interface can be invoked by the command nmcli. Centos 7 network config files. For example to get a list if all NICs (Ethernet cards):# nmcli dHowever you may not want to run NetworkManager service on your server because of various reasons.
This mod will keep notices about failing life support however, because that is a fairly critical piece of information that you would rather know about before you keel over and suffocate. Just the essentials, SAM buddy, and we’ll get by just fine.
Better Squad
Best Mass Effect Andromeda Mods
Squad goals: have a significantly less useless squad. Just don’t tell Peebee, she might get offended. Maybe don’t mention that she looks a bit like a a raccoon, either.
Mass Effect Miranda Romance Mod
Adding this mod to your arsenal will increase squad members’ offensive and defensive passive powers as required, making for much smoother sailing for yourself. If only you could also turn your squad members into a gigantic candy bar, then they would really be indispensable.
Hyper Mobility
Best Mass Effect Andromeda Mods
For all those times when you’d really like for your Ryder to show a little more urgency, this mod greatly improves your character’s sprint speed, as well as jump height and distance.
Just make sure you watch where you’re going, lest you send yourself careening off into the great abyss. Probably wouldn’t be able to jump your way out of that situation, unfortunately.
Mass Effect Romance Ashley
We Had the Blueprints…
Best Mass Effect Andromeda Mods
Sick of being unable to afford critical research whenever you really need it? Pinch your pennies no more, intrepid friends, for this mod will reduce the cost to undertake such studies by an astronomical rate.
Previously cheap research has had a further reduction to 2 RP, while expensive options are down to 5 RP. It’s like a sale, only the product is sheer knowledge itself.
Flying Mod
Best Mass Effect Andromeda Mods
If none of the preceding mods were doing it for you, maybe you would enjoy flying. That’s it. Whenever your little legs are tired, and you’ve grown weary of having to amble around like a chump, you can just look up and blast off like Ironman. How exciting does that sound?
Control your flight by turning the camera’s direction, increase and decrease altitude with ease, and even activate supersonic flight mode for the ultimate joyride. It’ll probably be bizarre as hell for everyone else nearby as they watch you just casually lift off into the sky, but those looks of confusion will soon turn to jealousy when you’re soaring across the sky.

Romance
As with the original Mass Effect, there are many romantic relationships that Shepard can have with members of his crew. In fact, the number of these has been vastly increased.
Potential Romances:
For playing as a male Shepard, you can have a full-blown romantic relationship with:
- Miranda
- Tali
- Jack
- Tali
- Jack
A female protagonist can have such relationships with:
- Garrus
- Jacob
- Thane
- Jacob
- Thane
A Shepard of either gender can have relationships with:
- Samara
- Kelly Chambers
- Morinth
- Kelly Chambers
- Morinth
Note that relationships with these last three do not inhibit proper relationships with the previous six. You can do these at your leisure, but they do not give you the Paramour achievement.
Romantic Methodology:
To convince a crew-member to join your Shepard in a romantic relationship, you need to work at it after every major mission. Completing the loyalty mission for that crew member will go a long way to helping, and picking Tali over Legion or Miranda over Jack (or vice versa) also is a great show of your affection. Speak to Mordin for relationship advice, as he has much to offer!
Eventually they will express their desire to be with your character. At this stage, when you go to the Omega 4 Relay, they will pay you a visit. Should you remain faithful to them, you can then invite them to Shepard's quarters (where Kelly Chambers will dance for Shepard). Note that while it is attractive to try and romance every possible crew member in the game, this will have repercussions for the next game in the series.
You can break up with a crew member, and should you wish to pursue a relationship with another character, you will be forced to make this choice. Note that once you have split up, you cannot reignite the relationship.
Note that with Jack, you must turn down her initial request for casual sex, or she will refuse to speak to Shepard again. Work at the relationship with Paragon motives and she will visit Shepard before reaching the Omega 4 Relay.
Note that with all the romance options, you should pursue them as much as possible before the Omega 4 Relay, and with Kelly Chambers before the Reaper IFF. Much of the progression in the relationship happens during the Suicide Mission, and cannot be easily replicated afterwards. After the Suicide Mission, you can update romantic interests to Shepard's quarters.

Note that if you proceed to have sex with Morinth, it results in a Critical Mission Failure, and you will have to load a recent save.
Note that Samara requires a Paragon to convince her of romance.

I always hoped that someone would eventually make a mod that improved Garrus's final night scene on the Normandy. The fade-to-black was far too abrupt compared to the other romances. Is it possible for someone to extend his romance scene with a mod? We already have both Kaidan and Ashley's 'rolling around' animations that would work very well for this. The issue would be swapping Kaidan out for Garrus in his casual clothes (or both Ashley and Manshep for Garrus and Femshep). I've already seen something similar being done on YouTube with Femshep;
Except what I'm asking, is for only part of the modded Kaidan/Ashley scene to be added to the existing Garrus scene. I'm not asking for a replacement for the whole thing (like the above). The only modded part I would like to see added would just be the voiceless, musical section from either Kaidan or Ashley's romance scene. Everything else would be the same. That way it would play after the kiss instead of the abrupt dream sequence;
Garrus and Shepard kiss -> Modded Kaidan/Ashley romance scenewith Garrusand Femshep -> Dream sequence -> 'Bad dream' scene
If anyone knows how to stitch a modded romance scene together like this, I know it would be greatly appreciated by Garrus fans if someone finally gave him the romance scene he deserves
