NOTES:
-
[]The Shepards in the screenshots from miramini and clericofshadows are made with personal sculpts and assets. These will NOT be released to the public, do not ask, you will be mocked in the comments if you do so.
[]Kaidan's curly hair is a ported BG3 hairstyle I made for personal use, but pending a few behind the scenes things I might release as a full mod. However, the more people who ask about it being released for the public, the less likely you are to get it. Make good choices.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Check if you have any other mods that alter Kaidan's appearance, as they might conflict.
- Since it's a cosmetic mod, make sure to place it in the correct mod folder for LE1 (usually 'Mass Effect Legendary Edition/Game/MassEffect1/BIOGame').
- If you're using a mod manager, let it handle the installation to avoid overwriting issues.
