Description

This simple mod, born as a proof of concept, simply changes the classical and lore inaccurate red sky of Eden Prime to that of blue. The mod maintains a cloudy/stormy environment and the characteristic red haze caused by the alluded multiple fires in the colony. This concept attempts to bring Eden Prime closer to its first depiction while talking to Nihlus, as well as the codex description and appearance of the garden world in Mass Effect 3.

Recommended mods


Casual Hubs for ME1 by rondeeno: this mod allows Shepard and squadmates to wear casual clothes on the Citadel and Noveria.

Same-Gender Romances for ME1 by rondeeno: this mod allows Ashley and Kaidan to be romanced by both male and female Shepard, utilizing unused dialogue in the game files.

ME1 Recalibrated by Kinkojiro Rondeeno and the Recalibrated team: this mod fixes a number of unresolved issues with Mass Effect.

A Lot Of Videos (ALOV) for ME1 by Audemus: this graphical mod aims to upgrade all prerendered bik cutscenes, that by definition no texture mod can fix.

In order to get the best visual experience and quality, I highly recommend using ALOT for ME1, by CreeperLava and MEUITM, by Catachrism. Remember that content mods must be always installed BEFORE ALOT/MEUITM.

The Mass Effect Modding Discord for keep proving to be the best place to interact with other fellow modders and enthusiastic players, which end up allowing for the wildest and simplest ideas being manifested and later, created. Special thanks to all those haters of the Legendary Edition, the true driving force to make me do this proof of concept which shows blue sky doesn't ruin the level's atmosphere.

Thanks to MGamerz and the ME3TweaksFork developers for actively working on the modding tools for the trilogy, which allow for these modifications to happen.


Other Mass Effect mods by me


Hairy Sheploo for ME2: allows players to add a new hairstyle and/or beard to the default male Shepard, based on Dutch model Mark Vanderloo. All hairstyles plus the beard are custom meshes with new textures, meaning this mod provides 3D hair options and aren't just painted over his face.

Expanded Shepard Armory (ESA):  unlocks helmetless versions of the official DLC armors to players who wish to use them and see their Shepard's faces; as well as adds additional armors and casual outfits ported from Mass Effect 1, 3 and Andromeda.

Joker Wears Cerberus Fatigues: fixes a vanilla bug which had Joker wearing Alliance fatigues during the cutscene arriving to the Flotilla. He will be wearing Cerberus fatigues now as intended.

Oriana Looks Like Miranda's Twin: small lore-friendly mod that changes Oriana's face into Miranda's, so they actually look like twins.

Hairy Sheploo for ME3: allows players to add a new hairstyle and/or beard to the default male Shepard, based on Dutch model Mark Vanderloo. All hairstyles plus the beard are custom meshes with new textures, meaning this mod provides 3D hair options and aren't just painted over his face.
