📋 About This Mod
This mod overhauls the Geth faction in LE1 for visual consistency with their appearances in LE3.
This mod REQUIRES Appearance Modification Menu to function, as it uses AMM code to dynamically update Geth appearances throughout the game without shipping level files. Advanced Weapon Models is optional but recommended for visual consistency with some Geth weapon models.
Geth Appearance Changes
-
[]Geth Trooper - Now matches LE3 Grey/White appearance
[
]Geth Shock Trooper - Unchanged (Remains White)[]Geth Rocket Trooper - Now uses LE3 mesh, but remains red
[]Geth Sniper - Matches Geth Assassin appearance in Geth Retrofits LE3

[]Geth Prime - Now matches LE3 Red appearance

Note there is currently a bug affecting the lens flares of Geth Troopers, Shock Troopers, Rocket Troopers and Snipers - they are supposed to all have unique lens flare colours, but the purple Trooper flare is being applied to all of them. This requires some AMM code updates, so will be fixed in a later update.
