📋 About This Mod
DESCRIPTION
This mod removes the squadmate head icons from the bottom middle of the HUD. I found it annoying to see them while exploring or in hub areas like Ilium, Omega, and the Citadel.
If a squadmate goes down while in combat, their faded icon will still show up in the HUD letting you know that healing is needed.
This is a LE2 version of the same mod I made for ME2.

UN-INSTALLATION
I plan on updating this next time I need to Vanilla my game files to include an uninstall file. For now, to uninstall I recommend using ME3 Tweaks Mod Manager's backup and restore system.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Does exactly what it says—no more squadmate heads cluttering your HUD
- Lightweight mod with a focused purpose, easy to install and forget
- Community-tested (67 endorsements) and still relevant for LE2 players
⚠️ Cons
- Only removes head icons; other HUD elements remain unchanged, so it's a partial cleanup
- Last updated in 2021—may not be compatible with future LE2 patches, though likely fine for now
For Mass Effect 2 Legendary Edition players who find the squadmate head icons distracting and want a cleaner HUD. Skip if you're looking for broader UI overhauls or gameplay changes—this is purely cosmetic and minimal.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since the mod is a simple file replacement, back up your original HUD files before overwriting, just in case you want to revert.
- Check if the mod requires a specific mod manager like ME3Tweaks Mod Manager; if not, manual installation is straightforward—just drop the files into the game's directory.
- If you're using other UI mods, test this one in isolation first to ensure no conflicts with your existing setup.
