📋 About This Mod
This mod replaces the modified iconic Femshep hair mesh in LE3 with the original mesh used in LE1/LE2 and the original ME3. It also makes a number of changes to the iconic Femshep hair mesh:
-
[]Fixes several issues with clipping that have been present since the OT (large hair strand on left side of face, small hair strand down center of forehead)[/]
[]Fixes deformation on hair tuck texture[/]
[]Tweaks the placement of one small strand of hair on the right side of the face, because it has always bugged me[/]
-
[]Fixes the washed-out hair color in LE3 by restoring it to ME3 OT color values[/]
[]Fixes the dark eye sclera color by restoring it to LE2 color values (color now matches most NPCs, as well as squadmates like Liara)[/]
Compatibility/Technical Info
As of v2. 0, this mod should be compatible with most other mods, aside from those that specifically edit the iconic Femshep hair mesh.
