Hey guys. I don't have the time to run through ME2 again... and I seem to have lost my saves where I romanced Garrus.
Gibbed's Mass Effect 2 Save Editor. Gibbed was kind enough to make a rather detailed save editor for Mass Effect 2. As usual, though, he didn't bother to add Xbox 360 support. A quick edit and now it does work on the xbox 360. You have to extract your individual xbsav files from your careers for this to work. I downloaded the mass effect 2 gibbed mod, and fiddled with it a little bit.I changed hair style, color, and eye color/glow.I tried to save it, but didn't know how, so stupid me, I went into the. Gibbed's save editor for mass effect 2! Easy to use and enjoy! This save editor can edit your character, resources paragon/renegade points name credits etc.! This save editor can also edit mass effect 1 events and add squad members and complete their loyality missions with simple click!
So... here's the situation.
In my current save:
I romanced Liara in ME1
I stayed faithful to Liara in ME2, then did all the things in LotSB romance-wise to stick with her.I then broke up with her and romanced Traynor (not that I think this matters for a 'Load from ME3' file, but just in case)
I'd like to edit this save to reflect that:
I romanced Liara in ME1.
I broke up with her in ME2 but stayed friends, and completed LotSB using paragon interrupts for friendship and such.
I romanced Garrus in ME2.
The intent is so I can play from beginning and load a fresh NG+ game in ME3 in which I can romance my main man Garrus. Which values to I need to change in Gibbed to make this happen?

Where To Get It
Gibbed Save Editor for Mass Effect 2
Download the most recent version from here: Gibbed Save Editor ME2
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
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:
- Open Gibbed Save Editor for Mass Effect 2 application. It doesn’t matter where you unzip the downloaded folder or where you run it.
- Click the folder icon in it’s menu and navigate to where Mass Effect 2 stores saves: Documents > BioWare > Mass Effect 2 > Save
- Select the character file you wish to edit and the most recent save.
- 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.
If you have any other codes to add to the above ones, please contact me with the subject line: “Shepard ME2 General Codes”. Add your name if you want credit.
