I've been asked on multiple occasions how I've been able to romance Ash with my FemSheps using my 360.
So, I figured I'd throw together a simple tutorial. Hope you like it!

YOU'LL NEED:
Xbox 360 (Duh...! )
Memorystick
Modio 5.0 (modio 6 if you have a updated xbox)
HxD

Ok so, here we go:

1. Create a new FemShep
2. Save and exit game after first cut scene.
3. Find and copy your save from you x-box hd to your memory stick

START UP YOUR PC (or your fruit box )
1. Download modio (latest version, I think it's Modio 6. If you have an updated 360 it turns out you NEED modio 6 or it won't rehash the path properly.) and HxD. They're both free and easy to use.
HxD
Modio 5.0
Modio 6.0

2. Connect your stick to computer and make a backup of your save somewhere.

3. Open Modio

4. At the bottom click "OPEN SAVE".

5. Choose USB STICK

6. You'll now see your save game folder named something along the lins of E000-something. REMEBER THIS NAME! You'll be needing it in the final step in Modio. Open that folder.

7. Click on the one that says Mass Effect and then click the character you want to mod. Mine's named Ayane so I'll click on that.

8.On your lefthand side you'll now have a bar with three tabs: General, Advanced and Modify Save.

9. Go to Advanced.

10. The top should say something like "Advance Save Information". At the bottom left click EDIT PACKAGE CONTENTS.

11. You should find "player.sav, state.sav, WorldSavePackage.sav" files in this folder. Drag the STATE.SAV file to the desktop.

12. Open HxD, click on File>Open and browse for your STATE.SAVE file. When it opens, click on the drop down bar that says "ANSI". Change that to "DOS/IBM ASCII". To your left you'll have a "offset (h)" column. Scroll down until you see "00000270" line. It should be all zeros, except for in the "07" column. If you have a FemShep that value should be 80. Change those to 00 by simply marking them with your mouse, then type 00. (If you have BroShep and want to romance Kaidan your Value will be 00 instead of 80. So change that from 00 to 80)

13. That's it! Now SAVE your file.

13. Go back in to Modio where you found the "state.sav", "player.sav" etc files. Right click on the "state.sav" and delete it.

14. Right click in the same window and choose "add file", browse for the edited "state.sav" file and press OK. Once it's been edited clicke the DONE button at the bottom right corner. This sends you back to the Advanced Info page. Click SAVE CHANGES at the right bottom button.

15. Go back to General and click "SAVE TO E0000-" USB.

16. Move your save file back to your 360's ME1 folder.

17. Enjoy a glorious Ash romance!
PS. To check that it works go talk to Presley and click the convo option asking him if he distrusts Anderson or something like that. If he says "No, sir!" Then you're good to go!
