📋 About This Mod
This is a completely customizable mod to change the appearance of various NPCs on the Normandy through mod menu settings. Joker's appearance options are set using an installation option, due to patching. If you want to use all or one of the changes I've added, it's completely up to you! I've made various changes to the following NPCs:
Dr. Chakwas:
- 2 hair options
- Custom medic fatigues
Engineer Adams:
- New hair and beard
- Added a jumpsuit outfit instead of officer blues
Normandy Engineers:
- Replaced hats with custom hairs for female engineers
- Added jumpsuits to match Engineer Adams' new one
- Added a new flight suit with leg braces and changed the color of his hat to match

The BIGGEST shoutout and thanks to Miramini's tireless work helping me debug the sequencing for the mod menus and other issues in general <3 <3
None of the mod menu would have been possible without Mistyvail's custom kismet blocks for the sequencing, they were absolutely magical
