Where To Get It

Gibbed Save Editor for Mass Effect 2

Download the most recent version from here: Gibbed Save Editor ME2

The Xbox 360 emulated games have a strange way to save. When you end a game session with a Xbox 360 backwards compatible game, make sure you really quit the game by going to the Home Screen, and then pressing the menu button on the running Xbox 360 game, and choose Quit from the menu. Only then will the emulated Xbox 360 end the game.

Quick tut how to extract your ME 2or ME 3 game save from the XBox to the PC and back again.DO NOT change the filenames.DO NOT forget to 'Save, Rehash, Resig. MassEffectSaves.com has a page dedicated to how you can transfer saves from PC to XBox 360 and from 360 to PC. However, it doesn't appear you can do this with the PS3. If you do not have Mass Effect 2 installed, just create the folder structure yourself exactly as shown in the walkthrough. Playstation users, I'm sorry but so far I haven't found a solution for save game exporting and importing. Xbox save conversion / importing.

This tool does not edit the coalesced.ini file. It only edits a selected save file from your game. You use this tool to change the appearance of your Shepard, add talent points, credits, and even change plot point resolutions.

How To Use It

Because somehow i always forget and fuck shit up

Mass effect walkthrough xbox 360

Before you do anything, back up your save files by copying and pasting the files to a safe place. I like to use the desktop. Once you’ve done that, follow these steps:

  1. Open Gibbed Save Editor for Mass Effect 2 application. It doesn’t matter where you unzip the downloaded folder or where you run it.
  2. Click the folder icon in it’s menu and navigate to where Mass Effect 2 stores saves: Documents > BioWare > Mass Effect 2 > Save
  3. Select the character file you wish to edit and the most recent save.
  4. Click open and the box will disappear and you’ll see your Shepard’s information has been loaded into the Player > Basic tab.

Once you’ve opened the correct save in Gibbed, we’re ready to start playing around.

I’d like to first recognize the sources for this information—none of it is my work. I’ll be linking to the original articles as I go. The reason the information is repurposed here is that I was afraid the links would over time die out and I wouldn’t have the information anymore. I’m very grateful to the original authors and all their hard work.

Appearance modding, iris color, hair and more will be on a separate post with the corresponding imagery. It always bothers me when I have to adjust the code, go into the game, leave the game, adjust code again, repeat 1000 times. Better to just have an image for reference.
