🎯 Tips & Tricks
If you're using the Legendary Edition, check the mod's compatibility with the updated game version before installing.
Since this is a story mod, make sure to install it before starting a playthrough where you plan to leave both Tali and Garrus unromanced.
Use a mod manager like ME3Tweaks Mod Manager to easily install and uninstall if you change your mind.
