Mass Effect Legendary Edition Mod Brings Back The Original Eden Prime Sky

Mass Effect Legendary Edition made a whole bunch of popular changes to the sci-fi trilogy we all know and love. However, not every "improvement" actually looked better than the original releases, according to some fans at least. Eden Prime, the first planet you visit as Commander Shepard, got a huge overhaul - and some players hated it.

Nexus Mods user Vegz has found a way to bring back the planet's iconic and breathtaking dark red sky, getting rid of its heavenly Legendary Edition makeover. This brings back the gritty feel of Shepard's first mission, with the Reaper attack once again turning the tranquil settlement into a hellscape for its inhabitants.

This is already proving to be a popular mod, which isn't surprising given how unpopular the overhauled Eden Prime was when Legendary Edition launched last year. For many, the hellish red and orange hues were what made the planet so memorable. And while the revamped sky was gorgeous, it was just a bit too perfect for a murderous invasion.

This is also far from the only mod fans have brought out to improve the first game in the Legendary Edition trilogy. As we covered recently, a banter mod makes Mako journeys less silent and awkward, with companions taking the chance to chat while Shepard drives them
