📋 About This Mod

Restores the default Femshep head mesh from LE3/ME3 OT

When I first started playing LE1, and then LE2, I couldn't get past the feeling that default Femshep looked different than I remembered from the original ME3. I wondered if it was just different lighting in LE1 and LE2 that was making her lower lip and chin look different. I spent a while looking up and comparing Femshep screenshots from all four games. Then when I finally got to LE3 (where she looked normal), I opened the Femshep head meshes in Blender - and I was right, they had changed the iconic Femshep head in LE1 and LE2.

This mod replaces the modified iconic Femshep head mesh in LE1 and LE2 with the original mesh used in LE3 and the original ME3. It also contains fixes/tweaks to the iconic hair, primarily to eliminate clipping - see Restore Iconic Femshep Hair for more details and screenshots. Additionally, there is an option to restore the cooler-toned green eye color from ME3 OT.

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 head and hair meshes.
