Oriana looks like Miranda's Twin (ME2LE)

One of the things that always bugged me about Mass Effect 2, and later on, Mass Effect 3; was that Oriana looks nothing like Miranda's twin. Inspired by the original Project Variety by Scottina123, users can get Oriana to look like Miranda if desire so too; now available on the Legendary Edition 2 and 3.

The mod uses textures from Ellise that give her a softer and younger look as well as an option to choose between keeping her vanilla hairstyle or a new one by Anto and ported by Kittentails to upk format.

Installation

This mod REQUIRES to be installed with the latest ME3Tweaks Mod Manager version by Mgamerz. 8. 1+ is REQUIRED. Make sure you let it update to the latest build after installation, in order to make sure the mod can be correctly installed. It is recommended to install over a vanilla NON textured game.

The mod is in DLC form, so its installation is as simple as drag and drop the . 7z file into the Mod Manager and let it work its magic. A prompt will show indicating which hairstyle you want to apply to her.

Un-Installation

Use the Mod Manager to remove the mod. Savegames aren't dependent of it, so it can be mostly safely removed and/or added at any point during your game.
