📋 About This Mod

This is my custom Shepard that I've modified and put together using the Kaidan textures created by two awesome mod authors Jenya66 and Ellise who gave me permission to share him. Thanks again! Also a big thank you to Jenya's ECC mod. That mod inspired me to create my own lite version for this mod.

You'll need to use the Mass Effect Modder and ME3Tweaks for this mod.

LE1 Face Code: 5Q2. KJ6. I9I. G3F. FDU. K3R. WEN. 6DP. 5G8. 1JD. 81A. 9D

LE2/3 Face Code: 5Q4. KJ6. I9I. G3F. FDU. K3R. WEN. 6DP. 5G8. 1JQ. 81A. 9 (complexion and hair slider go all the way to the right)

To get the face working in LE1 you'll use MEM and Trilogy Save Editor with instructions below.

For LE2/3 you'll just install it with M3Tweaks and plug in the face code at the CC screen.

BroShepV2:

Just an update that makes him look a little different. Added optional scars and Lazarus scars that don't magically disappear and carry over into LE3!

Big thank you to MacedonianMuse for the scar textures!

Optional no eyebrow face textures included for those that wanted to use Bioware's eyebrows instead

BroShep 2B:

An alternative version of v2 without the scalp textures or eyebrows to allow the most amount of customizability without losing the original look.

If you're using this version then you want to make sure not to use the last hair slider because that's meant for the other versions.

Use the middle complexion for ME1 and the fourth complexion for ME2 & 3

BroShepV3:

Bringing improved textures and a rougher look across the trilogy along with my complete satisfaction :)

This is my definitive version

ME1 Installation Guide:

This mod is only recommended to be used on a fresh playthrough unless you are familiar with modding textures in ME 

To use my custom Shepard in ME1 you need to use Mass Effect Modder (MEM).

1. To see him in the CC menus and in the intro sequence you should install the ShepIntroFaceME1 file using MEM. (v1 can be found in the optional files)

2. To do this go to the "Texture Modding" button under the Mass Effect section of MEM and then click "Install Texture Mods."

3. After that click on "Add to list" and select the file mentioned in step 1 or the ME1 equivalent for the other versions.

4. Once added to the list click "Install all mods."

5. Finally start a new game and paste 5Q2. KJ6. I9I. G3F. FDU. K3R. WEN. 6DP. 5G8. 1JD. 81A. 9D into the face code section at the

character creation screen and you're all set. :)

*If he looks like this then he's missing the scalp texture for ME1 in which case you need to
