📋 About This Mod

This mod restores a missing texture that was causing sparse eyebrows and facial hair, making them more in-line with how LE1 and LE3 eyebrows look. This will affect ALL custom Shepard eyebrows and facial hair options, but not NPCs.

Includes an optional texture override that ports Male Shepard's LE1 eyebrows, for full consistency. Femshep's eyebrow textures are already consistent.

The MAIN MOD is compatible with all eyebrow replacement textures. The OPTIONAL texture override conflicts with male Shepard eyebrow replacers!

The MAIN MOD is redundant if you have the Unofficial LE2 Patch installed.

Installation

Install with ME3Tweaks Mod Manager. Drag and drop the 7z file to Mod Manager, install (or import, then install).

Uninstallation

Uninstall with ME3Tweaks Mod Manager. Go to Manage Target, select Mass Effect 2: Legendary Edition from the dropdown, and on the "Installed DLC mods" tab you can disable or remove the mod from there.
