📋 About This Mod
Ever since the original release of Mass Effect 2, asari on the Citadel have been known to have human hands. The LE patch fixed some of them (I wonder if someone was related to that...), but unfortunately not all of them. Now all are included, as well as some extra corrections to props placement around the Zakera levels which I had previously fixed for the OT on my Project Variety for ME2 mod. The mod now does include Thane's loyalty's mission fixing as well ALL low poly models to higher LOD ones, as well as restoring wrong assigned materials, and adding dynamic shadows to every character on the level. Garrus loyalty level asari fixes are also included.
This mod is kept here for archival purposes and is included in the Unofficial LE2 Patch.
This mod REQUIRES to be installed with the latest ME3Tweaks Mod Manager version by Mgamerz. 9. 1+ is REQUIRED. Make sure you let it update to the latest build after installation, in order to make sure the mod can be correctly installed. It is recommended to install over a vanilla NON textured game.
The mod is in DLC form, so its installation is as simple as drag and drop the . 7z file into the Mod Manager and let it work its magic.
Use the Mod Manager to remove the mod. Savegames aren't dependent of it, so it can be mostly safely removed and/or added at any point during your game.
