📋 About This Mod
This DLC MOD needs to add a new TFC file, Textures_DLC_MOD_MSHEPHAIR.tfc, in the \BioGame\CookedPCConsole directory.
Unfortunately, I haven't found a better solution for loading the textures in LE1.
But it's safe and don't alter any other textures of the game.
1. Installation with ME3Tweaks Mod Manager
Drag and drop the . 7z file into the Mod Manager and "Apply Mod".
2. Change the Hair Mesh with Trilogy Save Editor
Click on Open to load your save.
Click on to Head Morph tab and under Raw you will see Hair Mesh. Paste the code in the field and save.

For the screenshots, I used the crew cut hairstyle (quicker to do ^^)
For long hairstyles I recommend to use bald but you can try with other basic hairstyles.
Hairstyles Textures Parameters for Mshep can be found here.
Thanks so much to Spectren for sharing this link <3.
How to change Texture Parameters with Trilogy Save Editor
Example for Crew Cut :
Hair color can be changed in Vector Parameters > Hed_Hair_Colour_Vector
You can look at the "color comparisons" pictures for more information on color management.
3. Un-Installation with ME3Tweaks Mod Manager
Go in Manage Target and "Delete" the mod
Important : You will have to manually delete the TCF file Textures_DLC_MOD_MSHEPHAIR.tfc in your BioGame\CookedPCConsole directory.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 587 endorsements and over 22k downloads.
- Gives Male Shep some much-needed style variety beyond the vanilla options.
- Ported from well-known Skyrim hair mods, so quality is likely decent.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2021 — might not be compatible with the latest MELE patches.
- No screenshots or install instructions in the description, so you're flying blind.
- Only for Male Shepard — FemShep players get nothing here.
For Mass Effect Legendary Edition players who want to customize Male Shepard's look with more hair choices. If you're tired of the default styles and want a quick cosmetic upgrade, this is for you. Skip if you're playing FemShep or want gameplay changes.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you're modding the Legendary Edition, not the original trilogy — this mod is MELE-specific.
- Use a mod manager like ME3Tweaks Mod Manager to install and manage this mod safely.
- Check the mod's page for any required DLC or updates before installing, since it's been a while since the last update.
