📋 About This Mod
These are DLCs for LE1-3 set up to import your own custom head mesh/textures to based on this guide by munchyfly.
This replaces the custom base head rather than the default head and works for both Shepards. It also allows use of skin details (eyebrows, facial hair, makeup, scars, ect) on a custom head mesh via TSE instead of editing them onto a texture.
There is no custom head mesh/textures included in this, only files edited and organized to be quicker and easier to edit/import your own files.
Two versions: ADDNs and NO ADDNs. You MUST download the headmorphs in files and use the corresponding headmorph on your save.
If you are using skin details via TSE use the ADDNs version. You will have to manually change the headmorph in TSE to use the details you want.
If you are using your own texture with skin details/eyebrows/ect already added, use the NO ADDNs version.
To use, find the PROCUSTOM_SHEP / PROCUSTOM_SHEP_M folder in both files and import your desired mesh and textures. Replace the mesh PROCUSTOM_SHEP_HED_MDL / PROCUSTOM_SHEP_M_HED_MDL. Do NOT replace meshes or textures outside of the folders mentioned. Edit your save with the provided headmorph and customize to use correct hair/colors.
If you are having trouble, feel free to ping me in the ME modding discord (talou).
This will not work with LE3 character appearance menu mod.
