📋 About This Mod

This is the first part of a project that completely overhauls quarians for the entire trilogy(yes, the other games are in the works!), inspired by official concept art, angara and na'vi. As this is my first big mod, support may be slow.

It is not lore-friendly, nor will it be for everyone's tastes, but thankfully there are plenty of diverse iterations that we can pick and choose from.

This mod adds;

- New mesh for Tali's head

- New meshes for quarian heads (if used with Diversification Project)

- New mesh for Tali's suit that incorporates LE2&3 models

- New, upscaled and corrected textures for every suit

- Regenerated cubemaps

- New textures for faces

- New images for squad selection, HUD icon and codexes

- Custom toggleable helmet face plate

Mod Menu options;

- Outfit overrides for combat or casual situations

- Visor transparency controls

- Real-time visor reflections

- Face plate controls

As of LE1 Community Patch version 2. 0 and Framework, compatiblity patches are needed and provided only for;

- LE1 Diversification Project

- Appearance Modification Menu LE1

- Any mod that changes Tali's face or edits files;

    Huge thanks to the modding community over on discord for literally holding my wee little baby hands through this arduous process, non-modders alike who's support gave me that sweet dopamine hit when I was procrastinating and naNuke for pretty much putting this whole mod together
