📋 About This Mod
Hello everyone ! :)
- Base of the nose now straight as in vanilla version (this was bothering me for a long time now, finally had some time to fix this)
-----------------------------------------------------
I am sharing my personal edits of Garrus and Turians face and eyes textures. (GTFET for files names)
A version for LE2 is available here and a LE3 version here.
I also made a version for Mass Effect Andromeda here.
It is based on LE3 Garrus textures with a lots of manual edits and adjustements, this may not be perfect, some parts may be a bit blurry, some details missing…
This is because the default textures from LE1 and LE3 are not set the same way and some parts are not even the same size, I tried to do my best.
Because others Turians did not have the chance to get a new texture in LE3, I made one for them based on Garrus texture, I removed some scars and details that are specific to Garrus.
Also, all turians have now eye sockets texture, before it was just void-black (was this a bug? Garrus was the exception).
(eye socket texture not up to date on picture)
And last, I added the "cat-like" eye texture from ME3 (female turian Nyreen), it is optional but I really like it, gives them a piercing look !
-----------------------------------------------------
I hope some of you will like it ! :)
Don't hesitate to tell me if you have issues or suggestions !

INSTALLATION
Extract the downloaded archive.
This is a .mem file.
You need Mass Effect Modder (MEM) to install it.
NOTE : Mass Effect Modder (MEM) is included in ME3Tweaks Mod Manager.
INSTALL DLC MODS (non-texture mods) BEFORE TEXTURES MODS or things won't work right.
Installation example of one of my texture mods :
-----------------------------------------------------
UNINSTALLATION
You can't really "uninstall'" textures mods. You can however restore full original look with vanilla textures. Even when doing this, your game will still be modded ! Use a backup of your game or reinstall it if you want to install DLC mods again.
In the download section, I added a file to revert to default LE textures. Install it with MEM.

For Mass Effect Legendary Edition players who want sharper, more detailed turian faces and eyes, especially if you're bothered by the missing eye socket texture on NPCs. Also for fans who want to give Garrus a unique look with cat-like pupils. Skip if you're not into cosmetic tweaks or don't play as/involve turians much.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you're modding the Legendary Edition (LE1) and not the original Mass Effect 1, as textures are different.
- Use a mod manager like ME3Tweaks Mod Manager to install and manage texture mods safely.
- If you use other texture mods, install this one last to avoid conflicts.
