📋 About This Mod

What is this mod?

This mod as of 3. 0 has had a big overhaul and now is incorporated into the in game mod settings menu, to either remove Garrus Visor on Casuals or Armour, or change his head to Nihlus or Saren. It also includes two new armours for Garrus, one based on the armour I gave Saren in my Saren mod, and the other Nihlus iconic armour.

Due to being integrated into the mod settings menu, the mod is now very modular:

  • []You can turn the visor on or off on both or either casuals or armours. By default casuals visor is off and armours visor is on.[/]

    []so if you want the mod only for the casuals and the armours you can, just turn on the visor for casuals and choose your outfits.[/]

    []you can choose between Garrus default which is always default setting, Nihlus or Saren heads.[/]

    []now fully compatible with EGM (see compatibility below for more information)[/]

    The other game mods can be found here: LE1 / LE2 / Nihlus LE2 / Saren LE2

    When/if mod settings become available for LE2 the LE2 Garrus no Visor, Nihlus and Saren mods will be merged into like this update.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community favorite with 300 endorsements and over 5,000 downloads.
  • Big overhaul in version 3.0 brings everything into the mod settings menu—no more fiddling with files.
  • Adds real variety to Garrus with head swaps and new armors, not just a simple reskin.

⚠️ Cons

  • Only affects Garrus—if you're looking for broader squad customization, this won't cover it.
  • Last updated March 2026—might not be compatible with future game patches, so check before updating.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Mass Effect 3 Legendary Edition players who want to tweak Garrus's look without breaking immersion. If you're a completionist or role-player who likes to personalize squadmates, this is a must-have. Skip if you want gameplay changes—this is purely cosmetic.
📦 Install:Medium· 5-10 minutes

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure you have the Legendary Edition version of ME3, not the original—this mod is specifically for LE3.
  • After installing, check the in-game mod settings menu to toggle visor removal and head swaps—no need to edit files manually.
  • If you're new to modding ME3, consider using a mod manager like ME3Tweaks Mod Manager to avoid conflicts.
