This 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.

Inspired by official concept art, angara and na'vi, LE2 version of Children of Rannoch aims to completely overhaul quarians by giving them a variety of faces and outfits while remaining somewhat loyal to the vanilla concept.

This mod adds:

Separate headmorphs for all quarians

Various face textures, emissive freckles, face markings etc.

New outfits and cloth patterns for all quarians to give them some diversity

Visor transparency options

More detailed vanilla meshes

LE1 and LE3 outfits for Tali, plus a new infiltrator suit you can grab from Children of Rannoch - Tali's Wardrobe Addon (LE2)

New nude model for Tali to be used with ERS

Most textures are upscaled and reworked by hand and might eventually get more updates down the line

You are welcome to edit the assets to your liking for personal use but as CoR is a labour of love, we ask you to please respect our creative vision and do not request design changes. This is a highly stylised mod by design.
