📋 About This Mod

This mod allows you to wear the ME3 version of Shepard's N7 armour in LE1.

PLEASE NOTE: This is a standalone mod that replaces the vanilla N7 Heavy Onyx armour. For a wider selection of N7 armours and compatibility, please use N7 Warfare Pack with Appearance Modification Menu instead!

Notes on Functionality

  • []This replaces the Heavy Onyx armour, which has unique N7 textures for Shepard. If Ashley/Kaidan/Liara wear it, the textures will appear broken.

    []As of 1. 1, the mod now includes a vanilla-friendly helmet that follows the same behavior as the other helmets in the game. Oxygen tubes are attached and the breather will automatically be enabled when appropriate.

    []I highly recommend installing Iconic Fashion Party by 55tumbl - particularly the option that makes Shepard appear in the heavy onyx armour even when wearing light/medium. Paired with this mod, Shepard will always appear in the ME3 N7 gear no matter what armour you equip.

Compatibility

It's a straightforward cosmetic backport with strong community support (1,147 endorsements) but hasn't been updated since October 2021, so it may not work with the latest LE1 patches.
