    []Ashley's LE3 Armor - Ashley's and Liara's vanilla textures + my own black N7 retexture for this armor

    []Modified version of Ashley's LE3 armor with all the same texture options

    []Kaidan's Armor for Femshep 

    []Miranda's DLC Armor for Femshep (modified mesh)

    Additionally this mod comes with a new helmet more fitting for these armors.

      Compatibility

      • []Compatibility patches for  New Casuals for Femshep LE1 and Alliance Uniform Consistency mod are included as install options. Patches should apply

        []Not compatible with any other casual outfit mods, aside from the ones mentioned above. I can't make a compatibility patch for mods that mount higher than this

        on my end, but any modder who wants to make one for their mod has my permission.[]Not compatible with mods that alter default femshep's head or hairmesh, as the main file of this mod is where she

        gets loaded in from and installing this mod will revert her appearance back to vanilla. Please contact me if a patch is needed.

      Known Issues

      []The new visor and breather will not match the old helmets.

      []I also did not replace the CC versions of the Iconic Onyx armors.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community-approved with 1,144 endorsements and over 25k downloads
  • Gives FemShep and Ashley a fresh look with a unique bulky Cerberus armor variant
  • Recently updated (Nov 2024) so likely compatible with current LE1 patches

⚠️ Cons

  • Requires Appearance Mod Menu LE1 as a dependency, so you'll need to install that first
  • Only affects FemShep and Ashley—if you play as BroShep or use other squadmates, this won't help you
  • Cosmetic only; no gameplay changes, so if you want stat boosts or new mechanics, look elsewhere
🎯 Is This For You?
For Mass Effect Legendary Edition players who want to customize FemShep's or Ashley's armor appearance, especially those who liked the Cerberus armor from LE3 but want a bulkier, flatter-chest version.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure you have Appearance Mod Menu LE1 installed and working before adding this mod, as it's required for the armor replacements to show up.
  • After installing, launch the game and open the Appearance Mod Menu to select the new armor appearances for FemShep or Ashley.
  • If you're using other armor mods, check load order to avoid conflicts—this mod replaces appearances, so it may override or be overridden by similar mods.
