📋 About This Mod

REQUIRES APPEARANCE MOD MENU

This mod will add a selection of Kaidan Alenko's Mass Effect 3 armors for Male Shepard to use in LE1 via Appearance Mod Menu.  An option on installation will also give a few of these armors for Kaidan.

    []Kaidan's default grey

    []4 N7 variations by Eleonora0

    []Kaidan's Default Ajax

      []Kaidan's grey

      []Kaidan's grey recolored to be N7 themed

      []Kaidan's blue helmet recolored to be black

      []Kaidan's Ajax

      As of Update 1. 1 the breathers have been separated from the helmets and can now be cycled between breather and non-breather helmets.

      REQUIREMENTS:

      Appearance Modification Menu LE1

      NOTES: 

      The male Shepard in the pics is my custom Shepard and I will not be posting him or his assets as a separate mod.

      I don't do modding requests.  Period.  Requests will be deleted and/or ignored.

      There are NO plans for a Female Shepard version.

      INSTALLATION:

      Install with ME3Tweaks Mod Manager.  You may download the mod through the mod manager option or manually drag the file onto the mod manager after downloading.  Choose the IMPORT option when prompted.  I DO NOT support manual installation.

      UNINSTALLATION:

      Simply either choose the disable or delete option in the Manage Target tab.  Delete removes it from the game installation completely, while disable keeps the mod installed, but unable to be read by the game.

      CREDITS:

      This mod will not be possible without the Legendary Explorer toolset by the ME3Tweaks Tool Devs and the great work by DroptheSquid to make Appearance Mod Menu a thing.  Incredibly thankful for all you do!

      And a big shoutout to my friends, bejeweledhanban, Miramini, and beckaboo for being great cheerleaders and encouraging me through all my AMM ports.  Y'all are truly why I enjoy making mods :)

      A big thank you to Eleonora0 for granting permission for me to use their N7 Kaidan retextures from their N7 Ashley and Kaidan Armor for Shepard mod.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Gives Male Shepard a fresh look with Kaidan's iconic LE3 armor, perfect for role-playing or variety.
  • Multiple color options let you customize the look to your taste.
  • Optional add-on for Kaidan himself means you can update his wardrobe too.

⚠️ Cons

  • Requires Appearance Mod Menu (AMM) and is LE1-specific, so it won't work without that setup.
  • Only adds a few armors, not a full set of new gear.
  • Niche appeal: if you don't care about Kaidan or his armor, this mod won't add much for you.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Mass Effect Legendary Edition players who use Appearance Mod Menu and want to dress Male Shepard in Kaidan's LE3 armor for a change. Also for Kaidan fans who want to give him some new threads. Skip if you don't use AMM or prefer gameplay-altering mods.
📦 Install:Medium· 5-10 minutes

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure you have Appearance Mod Menu installed and working before adding this mod, as it's required for the armors to appear.
  • During installation, choose whether you want the armors for Shepard, Kaidan, or both — pick what fits your playthrough.
  • Use the AMM in-game menu to equip the new armors; they won't show up in the standard inventory.
