MEHEM - the Mass Effect Happy Ending mod
What is MEHEM?
MEHEM is short for the Mass Effect (3) Happy Ending
Mod. It significantly changes the ending, kicking in right after
Anderson's death scene (or Shepard's quiet moment if Anderson is dead).
UPDATE: Ever since v0.2 it actually has the first modded scenes during the beam run sequence at the end of "Priority Earth".
Please check the MEHEM thread for updates:
You can download the MEHEM v0.3 installer (created by wavion)

What does MEHEM do in detail (obvious spoiler warning)?
- It removes
the catalyst scene. No ifs, not buts. It's gone for good. (So is your
choice, you will now destroy the reapers no matter what)
- It
introduces a whole new scene showing how Joker disobeys orders and keeps
the Normandy in the fight long enough for Shepard to be rescued (with
the help of a certain Alliance captain :))
- The Normandy no longer crash-lands on the Weirdo Planet
-
The Geth and EDI survive. EDI is now present during the memorial and
new slides were added to the epilogue that will show the geth, if they
are alive. All
credit and thanks for the slides goes to areyouareaper!
- The epilogue slides now show survivors on the Citadel, most prominently Aria and Cpt. Baley. All thanks and
credit for this new slide goes to Alienmorph!
-
You will see your Shepard reunited with his crew (and even some
interaction unique to your LI if the LI is part of the Normandy crew).
While they don't exactly have a party, now it is a real bitter-sweet
ending with the emphasis on "sweet" rather than on "bitter"
- The
musical score is changed quite extensively, including the credits song
- Since by the time of v0.3, quite a few people have contributed to this mod, I implemented some MEHEM
credits in the stargazer scene.
- Since v0.2, Harbinger will say a few lines during the beam run

dependent on you sound SFX volume setting (dialogue in those cutscenes
