🎯 Tips & Tricks
Make sure to install this mod before starting a new playthrough to avoid conflicts with existing save files.
If you're using other Mass Effect 2 mods, check load order — this mod may need to be loaded after mods that alter dialogue or romance flags.
Back up your save files before installing, just in case the romance flags cause unexpected behavior.

Check load order. Disable conflicting mods one by one.
⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing without checking requirements
👍 Pros
- Community-approved (3,406 endorsements) — clearly fills a demand for more inclusive romance options.
- Uses unused and repurposed dialogue, so it feels like it belongs in the game rather than a tacked-on mod.
- Also fixes imported FemShep/Ashley issues, so it's not just a romance mod but a bug fix too.
👎 Cons
- Description is cut off mid-sentence — no details on installation or compatibility with other mods.
- Last updated November 2025 — may not be compatible with future patches or mods that alter the same files.
- Only covers Tali and Thane — if you wanted same-gender options for other characters, this won't help.
