📋 About This Mod
Restores Admiral Steven Hackett's missing fourth gold bar from his uniform, featuring unique and improved textures and model by Padme4000. Nothing more, nothing less. This mod requires the LE3 Community Patch AND its framework. It will not work if either of them is missing.
Installation
This mod REQUIRES to be installed with the latest ME3Tweaks Mod Manager version by Mgamerz. 7. 0+ 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.
Un-Installation
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. Of course, Hackett's uniform will revert back to its original look.

]CitizenOfWhat: thank you for this mod's patronage.Other mods by me[]Dr. Heart Experiments: this mod modifies the appearance of Dr. Heart Experiments from Thorian Creepers to an original and unused Zombie model and textures from within the game files. Gameplay wise, they remain unchanged, having the same abilities and damage thresholds.
[]More Hair for Femshep (ME1LE): brings to the Legendary Edition Sims 4 Hairs created by Anto and originally ported by Kittentails to the original Mass Effect 3. Players who want to use them will need to use the Trilogy Savegame Editor to change their Shepard's hair.
[*]Liara Consistency Mod (ME1LE): makes Liara's

✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 847 endorsements and over 27k downloads—clearly a fix many players wanted.
- Tiny cosmetic tweak that adds authenticity for lore buffs who notice uniform details.
- Simple install—just drop-in files, no complex setup.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in April 2022—may not be tested with the latest Mass Effect Legendary Edition patches.
