📋 About This Mod
This mod is for ME3LE only, and will modify both fem shep and male shep (yay! Sorry for the wait!)
This mod modifies the "pattern 2" in the selection in the appearance customization so that the stripes have been removed, and the helmet/arm stripes and N7 logo colors are the only things that change.
This results in a canonical armor set for Shepard when using the default 'dark red' color with the modded "pattern 2" selected.
You can use the the Mass Effect Modder "mod installer" setting to install the .mem file, if you'd like to revert the changes you can find a backup in the optional files.
Added LE3 Compatible Texture Files (only for use with the LE3 Community Patch!)
A small cosmetic mod for Mass Effect 3 that changes Shepard's helmet to feature the canonical red stripe, or any other color you choose. With 49 endorsements and 1,522 downloads, it's a niche pick for lore-focused players.
