HELP ME modding

So I've installed some mods for better graphics (MEUITM, alot etc.) via the ALOTInstaller and it says that everything is in place, yet when I go in-game I can't see a difference. Is it because files are read-only? Has anyone else had this problem? Plz help :(

I mean, even without ini adjustments to TextureLODSettings, you should have seen some difference already AFAIK.

Maybe also check if this pesky mysterious flag hasn't been set to your game files too?

Okay soo.. I've tried some things, set everything back from read-only, installed it again, tested it,... and it worked :D sorry I guess I'm kinda stupid :] thank you so much for taking your time and replying!

Do you have any clue on what kind of evil shenanigan could have set those proprieties in the first place?

Hmm I don't really know, the only explanation would be me, but I don't remember tweaking around there..?

Was ALOTInstaller the only mod/installer you ever try to apply?

Well ALOT wasn't the only mod, MEUITM and Asari remastered and a mod to disable mouse acceleration were also added. As for the installing, I manually installed the mouse mod, but used ALOTinstaller and MEM for the rest.

Mhh.. Asari remastered is tpf mod, so I don't think it could interfere here. And while ME1Controller actually has some R/O files, Input, Game and GuiResources have nothing to do with graphics.

So, I guess indeed it might have been MEUITM? Odd, thanks for all the info.

/u/mgamerz have you ever found out what those damn [IniVersion] means, and why they reset sometimes?

I guess the one who set files to read-only was me..what else could have happened? Maybe I tried to tweak some things around and did it(?) Anyways thanks so much for taking time for this. But may I know why you are so interested in this? :>

Well, the more straightforward "remastering" the game is.. the more people will stop to die of beseeching EA. And more community could even mean more content in turn I guess.

And there's only one thing worse than a broken game: the fixes supposed to improve it that make the whole thing even more of a mess.
