⚠️ Common Mistakes

Installing without checking requirements

👍 Pros

Community favorite with 2,307 endorsements and over 142k downloads—clearly a mod players trust.
Makes Cerberus look like they actually belong in the trilogy, fixing the visual disconnect from ME2.
Targets three enemy types, so you'll see the change across multiple encounters, not just one unit.

👎 Cons

Description is cut off—no details on what else is added, so you're flying blind on the full scope.
Last updated November 2025—might not be compatible with future patches or DLC, so check before updating.
Only affects Cerberus units—if you wanted changes to other factions or gameplay mechanics, this isn't it.
