My only thought about all of this is maybe that ME3Explorer blocked the DLC by making the tree to modify textures. In ME2 i had ALOT installed as well, but i downloaded the DLC after completing the main game, and i didn't break it up in ME3Explorer.
What is ME3Explorer? ME3 Explorer is a fan-built toolset used to mod the Mass Effect Trilogy. Several features are still under development and new features are still actively being introduced. With it you can decompress, load, edit and save PCC files.
ME3Explorer: How do you unpack a later installed DLC after having already completed the initial setup? - posted in General Mass Effect 3 Discussion: Hi, just recently I noticed that I had not installed the rest of my DLC in Mass Effect 3 and decided to install them. However, I have already done the initial setup on ME3Explorer, so I am no longer given the wizard that allows me to unpack DLC.

ME3Explorer: Using TPF/DDS Tools 2.0 In order to apply your Texmod TPF permanently to the game, the developers of ME3Explorer have created a nifty little thing called the 'TPF/DDS Tools'. Windows 10. It will allow you to load in any TPF, check it's file formats for validity and if valid, apply it directly to the game as you would a.mod. 94fbr fl studio 12.5 professional.
- MEM is much faster than ME3Explorer. ALOT ME3 takes 6-10 hours to install with ME3Explorer. Less than an hour with MEM, on SSD. 
- Some textures simply won't install in ME3Explorer (textures a 2x1 resolution ratio, eg 4096x2048). 
- ME3Explorer is prone to crashing when installing all of ALOT at once. MEM has no such issues. 
- MEM supports an installer mode that greatly simplifies the installation process and reduces user error. 
- ME3Explorer has issues with ATI2_3Dc norms. It swaps the channels of this format. 
- Mipmaps (MIPs) are smaller versions of textures, used to optimize performance. The vanilla game files contain a number of 'empty' mipmaps (null pointers). 
ME3Explorer ignores them. This causes the so-called Aquarium glitches, that plague eg the plants in the cabin's aquarium. 
- TextureGroups (TGs) are used to categorize textures into groups (hence the name). Each group has a given Min and Max resolution that it is allowed to render at in-game. 
ME3Explorer sets all modded textures to the same TG (Shadowmap), which has by default a Max resolution of 4096 pixels. 
MEM keeps the original TG of the textures, and instead modifies the INI file so that all TGs have a Max resolution of 4096.

In order to apply your Texmod TPF permanently to the game, the developers of ME3Explorer have created a nifty little thing called the 'TPF/DDS Tools'. It will allow you to load in any TPF, check it's file formats for validity and if valid, apply it directly to the game as you would a .mod. You can also create your own fresh .mod for the textures with this tool.This means that downloading a fixed format TPF will ensure you never have to pay attention to the Revision a texture-mod was built with in relation to the version you are using.
 Here's how you apply TPF's straight into the game:

 Here's how you apply TPF's straight into the game:
Launch ME3Explorer, go to 'Tools' and pick 'TPF/DDS Tools' in the dropdown menu.
In the window that pops up, click 'Load TPF' and browse to the TPF you want to install.

Once you've opened it you'll see that the textures are listed now as is the texmod definition file (def). The definition file will help tell the game where these textures belong.
Every texture has it's own unique hex id or hash number (0xDB481023 for example), the game uses these to match them to the right textures in the game files. Texmod definition files provide the link between the filenames and the corresponding hex id's automatically when the tool can't find these id's in the filename itself.
Me3explorer Tpf ToolsNow down at the bottom it'll tell you the Hashes were generated, click the 'Analyse with Texplorer' button to let it scan if the formats are fitting for permanent replacement.

Me3 Explorer TutorialOnce it's done it'll say 'Finished Matching!'.You can now hit 'Install valid' to permanently install all valid textures to your game.

 Now sometimes you might run into TPF's that are not in the right format and/or cannot be matched to their ingame counterparts. For these and other such issues I suggest you check out the more expansive tutorial on the TPF Tools by KFreon and the guide on fixing format issues with TPF's by KFreon.
