I have the editor set to xbox 360 saves, extracted the save file via Modio 5, and I’ve used your software before with no issues (a few years ago though). I don’t have any of the DLC and the save file I’m trying to upload was originally dated from October 2014. Okogawa's Guide (1.9) for Gibbed's ME2 editor Most information in this guide comes from my own 'trial and error' testing, but now it's time to expand. Know any trick with the Gibbed's Mass Effect 2 Save Editor not mentioned here? Well, just post it to: [email protected] with topic: 'Gibbed Guide' and the name I'll post under credits. In the version of ME2's Gibbed Save Editor that I have, there is no appearance functionality like there is in the ME3 version. Among other options like 'powers' and 'henchman' it just says 'Not implemented yet.'
Where To Get It
This is a great editor, you were just doing it wrong. You can edit all of those values, HOWEVER I am told ME2 and ME1 decisions are registered when you start a new game, so if you want to make those changes, start a new game, save as soon as you can make a manual save, edit it in the editor, then mark it as finished in the Raw section and start a new game by uploading it as a finished ME3 game. In my case, the Gibbed save-editor opened with my last ME3 savegame already in place in the interface, which leads to the inability to edit the added code. It's a touch confusing the first time around. Re-opening the save-game (which is already opened) solves the problem and confusion.
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.
