@Everyone - I have now taken over this mod as its new manager.

Here is the link to the updated theme 2.2.3 https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1641401345

Mod-Stellaris calibration is still in progress, so please don't be surprised if you don't notice any difference.

updated:
http://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1341496539

Will anyone ever update this fully though?

I'm currently adjusting a local copy of this mod for myself to fit 2.0 changes. Most of work with icons and interface seems to be done. But theres more to do about icons from other mods. So I'm continuing to recolor it. After that my plans are different so I can't support stuff like music or portraits. If there's a need, I can release purely "interface" part of this mod for 2.0 in close future.

i dont have hope modding period so i dont have much hope alone lol. The only issue i have with using the mod in 2.0 so far is purely the icons being buggy. like, research complete, the icons for ship weaponry in ship design, etc. etc. Im ok with helping, but i really suck

Read the description everyone. Sorry guys, but hopefully someone else will take the torch.

Something tells me that this aint updated

I love the compatible mods such as " " and " " but my favorite one is gotta be " "

If the checksum stays the same, it means it is compatible, right? If that's the case, for now, it is, as the checksum didn't change by enabling this mod.

@LuPoM - like I just explained, my PC is down, so I can not access Stellaris. Hopefully someone else here can confirm that for you. But I din’t Know why it wouldn’t be.

@Crusader Vanguard would you kindly confirm if it is (and will be) Ironman/Achievement compatible? :) thanks!

@Everyone - Thank you all for the comments. I apologize for not replying regularly like I ha e in the past. My PC ran into a BSOD (blue screen of death) that I cannot solve. Worse it was on the day I had planned to backup my files. No joke. That was last month. Reality has gotten in the way of my efforts.

I’m hoping to have some results soon, but until then my replies will be few. I’m hoping to be able to update for Patch 2.0, but until I get my PC running I must ask for patience.

I am willing to “update” the mod in small ways, but new species and ship sets are not things I’m looking into. Too much work and outside “theme pack.”

Will you be adding ship designs? or have you thought about it? Would be awesome to have ships designs in.

Since it influences only the UI, is this Ironman/Achievements compatible?

I'd LOVE to use it!

Awesome! But it seems cannot display unicode characters such us chinese (they all become question marks).

OMG Thank you! Will you only update it from patch to patch, or will you improve on it how the original creator wanted to with adding more species over time?

This looks very cool! I finished the main story line of MA: Andromeda last month and I thought it was an excellent game. Looking forward to using this!

I'm surprised you dont ask people for money

Really great idea. As a big fan of the Mass Effect Series, this is huge! Thanks so much!

Very nice. Thank you author(s)!!!

我到底在干什么！

@Crusader Vanguard

Thanks ; )

good

@Crusader Vanguard：emmmm，I used a Sinicization patch, but there was a problem：all the words turned out to be question marks。。

@Richardo 136:

1. Not exactly. What the support section basically means is if you get any of those mods (which add new UI elements that are vanilla colored) I have taken those new elements and recolored them to match my color palette for this mod. If you are also subscribed to any of those mods, instead of their new UI elements being vanilla green, they will be "Mass Effect Blue" instead because I made the "compatibility patch" into this mod. They are "automatically" supported by this mod.

2. Sort of. Check the Asari Civilization mod (linked above as an image) to learn more. Best mod for Mass Effect here and I highly recommend it.

3. I wish. LOL. The Asari Civilizaiton Mod's creators - Team Nessassity as they call themselves - are the forerunners of all things Mass Effect for Stellaris. If anyone is going to make a Mass Effect Mod, it is them. However, be polite when asking. They will answer and get you specifics, but you will not rush them into anything they are not ready to do.

@幻想の彼方 - I don't think so. There shouldn't need to be one. I don't know why you would need one. Is this mod still interfering with Chinese localisation? I need a confirmation on that (assuming that's what you are saying). This mod has no knew localisation, so it should need translations, except maybe the description if you wnat to read that in Chinese.

this looks incredible, a few questions though

1. that support bit, is that a list of Mods I should get with this one, or are they already a part of this mod?

2. is there a mod that brings in Mass Relays and has them be one of the methods of travel in the galaxy?

3. is there a Reaper mod?

is there a Chinese version?

@Director Isard - Follow the reset NSC instructions above. That sounds like a corrupted download. Double check that the mod is active in the mod tab of the launcher. Then go into the game and see if it works. Easiest way to check is to go to the empire creation screen and check the shipsets for NSC's Extra Playable Races.

Crash to Desktop every time I try to launch this, even with no other mods on. I do not quite understand why...

I can host MP games with 30~ Mods, on a 5,000 Star Galaxy, but this mod will not launch at all.

@ShooTmyAss - Only if you can point me to where the asset are and that's assuming they work with Stellaris. I'm not a modeler and I don't currently know how to port things into Stellaris readable formats. If you can find someone to port them for me, I'll do my best to put them into the game.

Would you be adding Turian, Quarian, or Salarian ship designs in the future?

Is there any chance of getting a game with the correct setup? My personal Mass Effect lore isnt great, so a save game or something to the same effect would be nice.

@The King With No Crown - Next time, make yourself more clearer instead of posting short misleading comments. I was just trying to help you 'honestly'.

@The King With No Crown - The link is in the picture. Steam won't let me post an actual link, it deletes it automatically thinking that it's a false negative. Also, I know what I read since you never mentioned that you want to disable any music.

This is what you said:

''Please, is there a way to bring back the original game music? I love Mass Effect's music but this mod's music gets old after a while.''

Then you replied:

''Thank you man, or if you can, get more music. I love the themes like I said, but it gets old after a while, ya know?''

You were asking for more music. If you had said otherwise, then I wouldn't have uploaded anything for you or wasted my time.

@Papa John - Seems that the original mod hasn't been updated in a long while. Are you trying to use the original mod or the fan hotfix one? Because the patch is extremely simple. Unless the fan fix author or original author changed the size of the planets in the selection screen, this should still work.

The compatibility patch for Planetary Diversity doesn't seem to work, the red highlight is too big when selecting a planet.

@The King With No Crown - You can do it right now, if you have a program that can open zip files (WinRAR or 7zip for example). Go to: Steam/steamapps/workshop/content/281990/1169303365 The final two numbers there should be the game id and the mod id respectively. Open the zip file you find there and delete the music folder. That should be all you need to restore vanilla music.

You can also copy that folder out, delete it within the zip, and when you get tried of vanilla music, you can put that back into the zip in the same place. This should work until I can work in my next update. I'm in no rush to do this and I'm currently still dealing with the holidays in Reality.

Jobro: What I need is the ability to disable the music or put it to the originial, honestly.

Also, you linked a picture, not the actual link.

@King with no crown - Here's the link to My Mass Effect Music zip file. Let me know what you think. ;)

@King with no crown - I've got all the Mass Effects soundtracks if you want it? I'll post a link to my collection up on discussions for you where you can just download them from MEGA.

@Grizz - No you don't have to create your own races, since they are all pre-made. The only time where you have to edit any race is during the game setup itself.

I still have to create the races myself correct?

Thank you man, or if you can, get more music. I love the themes like I said, but it gets old after a while, ya know?

@The King with No Crown (Rizzy) - I'm not all that familiar with how music is setup, but I'll see what I can do.

Please, is there a way to bring back the original game music? I love Mass Effect's music but this mod's music gets old after a while.

@Crusader Vanguard - OK, I'll maintain it, but only during my spare time of course. I'll also add in mods that I find work, whilst at the same time testing for ones that don't. I should be able to come up with a list fairly quickly.

I'm thinking the same thing with regards to the Chinese translations. Problem is, I can't really help you with this issue.

On a separate issue. I really hope that you can get something done with the Krogan. I mean, it's been a very long time now and not one person has even bothered with the Krogan. Even if we can just get the head of the Krogan moving or something, then that would be big.

@jobro_06 - Oh! I thought you mean the Stellaris Discussion threads. LOL. Outside of NSC, I don't really have a mod that utilizes those, so I almost forget that tab is there.

If you want to maintain it, that's fine by me. If you find something that is incompatible, that's what I'd be interested in. This mod should be compatible with anything that doesn't edit UI gfx files (since I overwrite a good 80% of them). The main issue I've seen is certain people have told me Chinese translations don't work with this. I'm thinking that is interface (gui file) related.

@Crusader Vanguard - It's in discussions tab if you scroll above. You should see discussions 2 because I've created two discussions so far. One with the list of working mods and the other a method which I use to get my mods working. Also, yes I do plan on maintaining it if that's OK with you?

http://steamproxy.net/workshop/filedetails/discussion/1169303365/1620599015910792505/

Regarding the geth, I don't see anything wrong with using this mod alongside yours (I say yours because you have custodianship over it). I've been using it for some time and the geth look amazing on it. The Krogan though really need sorthing out.

http://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=718918906&searchtext=geth

@jobro_06 - Do you have a link? If you plan to maintain that listing in any way I can post it in the Description.

As for the next update, that's TBD. I am looking into Krogans and Geth, but only if I feel like the quality of the work "honors" VJs work, as I am, after all, mainly acting as custodian. If she never reappears, perhaps new things will be slowly added over time, but I'm in no rush to expand this mod.

I also will probably keep a Patch 1.9 version and update to a 2.0 version (assuming all goes well), as I have a feeling the major overhaul may cause a rift in the player community. We'll see.

@Crusader Vanguard - Just thought I'd let everyone here know that I've created a new thread in discussions listing all mods compatible with Mass Effect Theme Pack (Updated) 1.9.
