📋 About This Mod
My first Mass Effect Mod :D
That blue blur on the portraits seemed off in my opinion. Not to mention that the portraits of your squadmates are completely different than what they look like during Squad Selection.
Mass Effect 2 and 3 do not have these issues since their HUD Portraits come straight from the Squad Selection Portraits. This however is not the case for Mass Effect 1 in that occasion.
So I remade these HUD Portraits based on their Squad Selection Portraits from the game itself. This should make it consistent across the whole trilogy.
Only Jenkins isn't replaced because he is only a temporary party member in the beginning of the game and not permanent from then on.
You need Mass Effect Modder to install this mod. Make sure that you install this AFTER you installed your Content or DLC-Mods or you might mess your game up.
You should be able to install this mod on top of other texture mods however as long as they don't touch the HUD Portraits itself.
English Language + VO and German have been tested with no issues. I can't guarantee the same for other languages since I do not have the other localization files in my game.
This Mass Effect Legendary Edition mod swaps the HUD portraits of squadmates to match their squad selection portraits, for both controller and PC layouts. A small UI polish mod with 86 endorsements, last updated in November 2022.
