📋 About This Mod
This mod allows you to use ClearanceClarence's 'HD Garrus Face Texture' from the Original Trilogy in Legendary Edition, giving him a much sharper and detailed texture than Legendary Edition provided.
UPDATE (29/1): A Blue Scars for Garrus version is now available to consist with the Blue Scars for Garrus (LE2) mod. The blue is lighter and less saturated in this version to represent the scar having faded between games.
CREDIT/THANKS:
Thank you to ClearanceClarence, creator of the original mod, for letting me port their mod into Legendary Edition.
Thank you to VikkiVik for testing the mod for me and for taking comparison pictures.
This mod is NOT mine, I simply made it accessible for Legendary Edition with ClearanceClarence's permission.
COMPATIBILITY:
This does work with eye texture mods, such as Turian Eyes Consistency Fix by AkiraFay
This does work with A Lot Of Textures (ALOT) by CreeperLava, so long as you install ALOT before this mod.
INSTALLATION:
Before installing any texture mod, you MUST have every non-texture mod you wish to install installed first. Installing non-texture mods after texture mods will break your game. With that in mind, I HIGHLY recommend backing up your game in some way before installing texture mods.
Currently this can only be used through Mass Effect Modder for Legendary Edition.
- Download the mod (and Mass Effect Modder, if you don't have it already)
- Open Mass Effect Modder
- Underneath Mass Effect 3, click 'Mods Manager' then 'Mods Installer'
- Click 'Add to list' then browse for this mod
- Click 'Install all mods'
UNINSTALL:
To uninstall a texture mod, you will need to either restore the entire game (another reason why I recommend backing up the game), or find another mod that replaces the exact same textures. You could try making a suggestion through ViperLord's Texture Restore before restoring your game.

Padme4000's Garrus with No Visor (LE3) mod

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 560 endorsements and over 10k downloads
- Sharp 4K textures make Garrus look crisp in cutscenes
- Blue Scars variant adds a cool customization option
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects the head—no body or armor retexture included
- Last updated in 2022, so may not be tested with the latest LE patches
- Requires the LE3 version of the game; not for original Mass Effect 3
For Mass Effect Legendary Edition players who want Garrus to look sharper in close-ups. Great if you're doing a full visual overhaul and want your favorite turian to match. Skip if you're on the original ME3 or want full-body changes.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you're modding Mass Effect Legendary Edition 3, not the original ME3—this won't work there.
- Use a mod manager like ME3Tweaks Mod Manager to install and manage texture mods safely.
- If you want the Blue Scars look, grab that version instead of the default—it's a separate download.
