Whatever you thought of the ending, the Mass Effect trilogy is undoubtedly one of the finest stories in gaming. Unfortunately Bioware’s saga, like all of us, has suffered the ravages of time – and even Mass Effect 3 from 2012 isn’t looking as good as it once did.
Instead of waiting for a remaster, the easiest solution for PC players is to download one of the many texture packs around – and now one fan has made that a lot easier. Modder CreeperLava has released a new version of his bluntly-titled ‘A Lot Of Textures’ pack for the full Mass Effect trilogy, which combines many community-made texture packs into one place with an easy installer.
The update was spotted by DSOGamingDSOGaming. The texture pack’s page on NexusModstexture pack’s page on NexusMods says that their aim is “to achieve the best look possible, while remaining very close to the vanilla (unmodded) style.” Judging by the comparison screenshots they seem to have done just that – the game looks otherwise the same, just sharper.
The latest update to the ‘ALOT’ pack overhauls the currently available mods for “better consistency”, has a completely new installation procedure, and adds “many, many textures” (we love it when modders get technical). The updated installer is easy to use, but they do suggest turning off auto-updates for the game in Origin, as EA’s client can overwrite mods and texture packs without asking.
The ‘ALOT’ texture packs work on their own, but they are also designed to compliment the popular ‘MEUITM’ texture pack for Mass Effect 1, which received its own update back in January. If you’re planning on replaying the Mass Effect trilogy, now would be the perfect time to do it. Anthem’s still six months away, remember.

I'm not sure if this has already been posted. Anyway, it looks pretty amazing compared to the standard textures:
Edit: A short clip with the 'ultra textures' found in the link above + enb (http://www.mediafire.com/?vhjmg2llkzy) that you should watch in 1080p @ fullscreen to be able to fully appreciate it:
Another edit: When you use enb it looks pretty cool in some scenes and is wayy too dark in others. I wouldn't be able to play through the game like that, but you could actually edit the enb-ini to change the settings and make it look the way you want it to look. Oh and on my PC (Phenom II 955 @ 3.7Ghz, 8GB RAM, GTX 570) the FPS were kinda low (barely playable), which was probably because of the combination of the ultra textures and enb.

The texture loading times are not as bad on my system, the high res textures took about 3-4 minutes to load and the ultra textures 7-8 minutes (all of them). And it does load that long every time you start the game, but not in the loading screens when you are playing.
