About this mod
This patch allows you to use the Remove Shared Cooldowns, together with the No MiniGames and/or ME2Controller mods.
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
- Donations
I simply followed the instructions on the Remove Shared Cooldowns mod page to make this patch: open SFXGame.pcc in ME3Explorer's Package Editor, select the exports tab and change the usesSharedCooldown property to false in the default__sfxPower entry. These steps could also be used to make patches for other mods that edit the SFXGame pcc file, like the Vignette Remover mod.
WHAT THE MODS DO
ME2Controller:
- Enables use of a controller instead of mouse and keyboard
- Removes the vanilla game's limit of 30 saves per career
No MiniGames:
- Auto-win the bypass or hack minigame
- Removes the vanilla game's limit of 30 saves per career
Removed Shared Cooldowns:
- Removes the shared cooldown of powers; each power has its own individual cooldown

Once you downloaded the patch you need for the particular combination you want from here, extract the file you downloaded and paste the SFXGame.pcc file inside into the following folder: "Origin Games\Mass Effect 2\BioGame\CookedPC". You'll be asked to overwrite the existing file, select Yes. If there is no overwrite prompt, you copied the file in the wrong place.
