🎯 Tips & Tricks
Make sure you have the LE2 and LE3 games fully updated before installing, as the mod was last updated in 2022.
If you use a mod manager like ME3Tweaks Mod Manager, you can install this mod directly; otherwise, manually place the files in the game's DLC folder.
Test the mod by triggering a critical mission failure early in the game to confirm the music change works.
