📋 About This Mod
This mod was inspired by Mistyvail's Alliance Uniform Consistency. It replaces the models of the Alliance Marines encountered throughout the game with the armor seen in LE3. After some input from other mod authors, I have created a few options for mod settings:
1. Visors - Upon input from Tydeous, this option is available as a hybrid between the LE3 and LE1 appearances, the marines will wear the LE3 armor but retain their LE1 headgear.
2. Helmets - Three of the marines on both the Command Deck and Virmire will wear helmets derived from Audemus and Mellin's ME3 N7 Armor mod. The fourth marine wears a beret from LE3.
3. Kahoku's Marines -This is an optional setting that transforms the appearances of the corpses of Kahoku's marines on Edolus to the "dirty" look of the LE3 marines seen prominently during Priority: Earth to make it somewhat consistent from being mauled by a Thresher Maw.
4. Nepmos Marines - Three options are available after input from Audemus for the marines encountered on Nepmos fighting Rachni. The default keeps their vanilla appearance. The standard gives them the same armor as seen on the Normandy, including the female armor designed by Mellin. The Frontier option is a palette swap of the standard armor to better fit into the terrain of Nepmos in which you encounter them.
