femshepping's Personal Complexions

This mod contains 7 female complexions for all 3 games. These are complexions I made for personal use and am releasing as they are (this means no changes! I give full permission for you to edit these however you want, though). They have eyebrows, and may have freckles, scars, and baked on makeup. They replace COMPLEXION 1 in the character creator.

WHAT IS INCLUDED?

- 7 face retextures for all 3 games

- the face texture dds files for you to edit for your Shepard if you wish to

- the vanilla textures

Please see the guide below for changing your Shepard's complexion and removing eyebrows in the save editor if you want to use these on an existing Shepard who has eyebrows and is not using complexion 1:

HOW TO CHANGE SHEPARD'S COMPLEXION IN THE TRILOGY SAVE EDITOR

REQUIREMENTS

1. Trilogy Save Editor installed

2. Mass Effect Legendary Edition installed

3. A complexion you want to use installed

The Trilogy Save Editor may look scary with all of it's tabs and things, but when you know what you're looking for, it's super easy to edit almost everything about your Shepard!

So, for starters, you want to have a complexion mod you want to use downloaded and installed. It can be any one - there are some wonderful complexions out there!

There are three complexions for Shepard in the Character Creation which most complexion mods will replace. They have corresponding file names throughout all three games (they are the same in the LE as they were in the OT!). The names are:

Complexion 1 in Character Creation - ProBase

Texture file names:

BIOG_HMF_HED_PROMorph_R. Diffuse. HMF_HED_PROBase_Face_Diff

BIOG_HMF_HED_PROMorph_R. Normal. HMF_HED_PROBase_Face_Norm

Complexion 2 in Character Creation - Military

Texture file names:

BIOG_HMF_HED_PROMorph_R. Diffuse. HMF_HED_PROCustom_Military_Diff

BIOG_HMF_HED_PROMorph_R. Normal. HMF_HED_PROCustom_Military_Norm

Complexion 3 in Character Creation - Frek

Texture file names:

BIOG_HMF_HED_PROMorph_R. Diffuse. HMF_HED_PROCustom_Frek_Diff

BIOG_HMF_HED_PROMorph_R. Normal. HMF_HED_PROCustom_Frek_Norm

Now, say your Shepard is using Complexion 1 (ProBase), but the complexion mod you have downloaded replaces Complexion 2 (Military). I will show you below what you would need to change. I am using a ME2LE save for this tutorial, but again, the names are the same throughout the games and the Trilogy Save Editor has the same interface.

1. Open the save of the Shepard you want to edit. If you have set up the Trilogy Save Editor correctly, it will automatically navigate to the correct folder when you press 'Open' in the top left hand corner. If for some reason it doesn't, the file path is: C:\Users\User\Documents\BioWare\Ma
