📋 About This Mod
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 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.
This mod REQUIRES to be installed with the latest ME3Tweaks Mod Manager version by Mgamerz. 7. 0+ 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.
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.
