📋 About This Mod

During's Ashley first cutscene running from the geth and first meeting Shepard her armor is a medium version of the Phoneix. For consistency reasons this can cause "an illusion of a bug" when using Iconic Fashion Party when using Ashley's heavy armor. This mod edits the cutscene to make Ashley use the heavy version instead.

IN VERSION 1. 3 THERE IS  NOW AN OPTION NOW FOR ASHLEY TO WEAR HER ME2 HORIZION ARMOR WHICH IS A MUCH FOR FULLER VERSION OF HER BETA ME1 ARMOR(Note Femshep can wear this as well as well as Liara if you use cheats)Also added patches for Saren Stages  as well as LE1 Diversification Project!!!!Also there will be an option for Ashley to wear a gold visor like she did during most of ME1's original Promo Launch.. Thanks to @clericofshadows for getting the ME2 Armor texture to work with ME1!

1. 4 includes more fixes and seperate options for better function

1. 5. The final update with more fixes and a patch for Universal N7 Armor FOR FEMSHEP

1. 6 fixes the install option issue and added a patch for Subtle Faces for Tali

1. 7 the aboslute final version

DONT CHOOSE THE FIRST OPTION IN ME3TWEAKS IF YOU ARE USING SAREN STAGES

Mods that cause conflicts and should not be used with this:

ME3 Alliance Armor for LE1(If you pick the saren stages options)

LED Lights for LE1(If you pick any Horizon option)-WELL correction this mod will work but the HORIZON ARMOR WILL NOT HAVE THE LIGHTS ONLY THE NORMAL PHOENIX

Classic/Enchanced Saren Boss Encounters(If you pick the saren stages options..only affects Virmire so EndCitadelBattle wont be affected.)

Casual Hubs(She will won't wear casuals in hubs instead her normal  armor like vanilla or horizon if you chose that.)

Note: if you add and use biotic/tech power to Ashley with the gold visor it might/will dissapear due to how ME1 handles materials and special effects.
