🎯 Tips & Tricks
Make sure you have a Mass Effect 1 save file in the Legendary Edition folder before importing—this mod only works with an existing save.
Choose the credit amount that fits your desired difficulty; higher amounts reduce the challenge of early-game resource management.
If you're using a mod manager, install this mod after any other ME2 mods to avoid conflicts with save files.

⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing without checking requirements
👍 Pros
- Community-approved with 462 endorsements and over 10k downloads—clearly a mod people want.
- Saves you hours of grinding for credits early in ME2, letting you focus on the story.
- Multiple options mean you can tailor the starting credits to your preferred difficulty or playstyle.
👎 Cons
- Last updated in August 2022—may not be compatible with any future patches or DLC.
- Only affects starting credits; doesn't change other economy aspects or add new content.
- Requires you to have a ME1 save file to import from, so it's useless for new players starting fresh.
