More Alien Tali Photo (LE3)

Mass Effect LE3 - More Alien Tali Photo

A very simple mod that does just what it says on the tin: it replaces the photo of Tali she gives you when romanced after finishing Rannoch with a version that is more alien. I edited the original art asset by creating a new face inspired by very early concept art and a really cute fanart of her I came across recently.

I always felt Tali’s revealed appearance was too “human but a bit to the left” compared with the varied and interesting designs of other ME aliens, like the designers felt pressured to make her revealed face conventionally attractive because she was a romance option. I've also really liked the nods to realities of her life (such as the hassles of hair in a suit that rarely comes off, and her canon respiratory issues) that more fan artists have made, which is why I chose to make her face without hair and add a cannula.

This is my first mod, and I don't have the skills, time, or resources to make a more comprehensive mesh-editing and rigged mod to change what she looks like in gameplay, but I hope this small mod will appeal to like-minded fans. Please let me know if you have any issues with it-- I haven't gotten far enough in my playthrough to see it yet. Screenshots of your Shepard with it would also be cool!

Thank you to MaryMakes/Soriyumi for the video on how to use MEM to make texture replacement mods, and Catie Rowley for the inspiration. Happy modding!
