📋 About This Mod
When I was testing a set of casuals in the works for Male Shepard that shows a portion of the area where the neck meets the rest of the body, I noticed there were a few strange gaps in Sheploo's LE1 and LE2 head meshes where the bottom of his neck meets the nude body. This creates small pockets and a large gap that let you see through his body at certain angles.
This is generally not noticeable in outfits that cover the neck seam, but it poses a very annoying problem for outfits that don't.
This also isn't an issue in ME3 where the head mesh was built and sculpted to transition semi-seamlessly into the nude body for romance scenes- but it is an issue for the LE1 and LE2 heads when paired with the ME3 nude mesh and/or outfit mods that show his neck that are built off of said nude mesh.
This mod includes a small bugfix to Sheploo's LE1 headmesh to fix this issue, and provide a more seamless transition between the neck and the body, similar to how his ME3 headmesh and the Custom Shepard headmesh already works.
REQUIREMENTS:
- []LE1 Community Patch (Version 2. 0+ above.)
The fixed mesh included in this mod is an open modders' resource with entirely free-use permissions. Please feel free to grab this mesh for whatever projects you may need it for, including LE mods, backports to OT, or other creative work. Credit is appreciated, but not necessary! :)
This mod only fixes the gaps in his neckseam, so that his head transitions as seamlessly into the vanilla nude body as he does in LE3/Custom Shepards do in every game. This is not a fix to the neckseam itself. That is a vanilla issue. I am simply fixing this particular neck seam issue so that his head mesh transitions into his body mesh in the same way every other vanilla male head does.
The LE2 version of the mod can be found here.
An LE3 version of the mod is unnecessary as Sheploo's head is already fixed to work with the male nude mesh without gaps in vanilla ME:LE.
COMPATIBILITY:
This bugfix mod should be fully compatible with all other mods. If you find an incompatibility, please let me know! Other mod developers are more than welcome to use this patched mesh in any project as needed!
This mod is fully compatible with any Sheploo texture mods. I have only modified his mesh to fix it.
