📋 About This Mod
There aren't enough short hairstyles that look good with lighter hair colours, so here we go - a port of the OT "Sexy" VI hair for FemShep, including versions for LE1, LE2, and LE3. Use the ME3Tweaks Mod Manager to install each version. Using the hair requires the Trilogy Save Editor in order to apply the hairstyle:
-
[]Open your save in the editor and go to the Head Morph tab.
[
]Replace the Hair Mesh value with this value: biog_hmf_hir_vi. Hair_Vanilla_VI. HMF_HIR_VI_MDL - In the Texture Parameters section, next to HAIR_Diff, click remove.
There is clipping on the forehead from one strand of hair; this is part of the original mesh and it was an issue in the OT. I'm not going to fix it; I'm not very familiar with Blender, and after a couple hours of fiddling with versions and addons, I still can't get the imported .psk file to even show up. But I survived playing through the OT with that clipping issue, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
This mod would not have happened without Maya AB's YouTube tutorial Porting ME3 Hair Mods to ME3LE (for 42 bones) and the LegendaryExplorer documentation. Thanks also to the creators of other hair mods that I backwards engineered and to the creators of tools like ME3 Explorer, ME3Tweaks, and Mass Effect Explorer.
This mod ports the Mass Effect original trilogy's 'Sexy' VI hair to all three Legendary Edition games, giving FemShep a nostalgic hairstyle option. With 58 endorsements and nearly 1,800 downloads, it's a niche but appreciated cosmetic addition for players wanting to recreate the classic look.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Brings back a beloved classic hairstyle for FemShep, perfect for nostalgia.
- Works across all three LE games, so you can use it throughout the trilogy.
- Decent download count (1,798) shows there's a real audience for this cosmetic.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 58 endorsements, so it's a niche mod with limited community feedback.
- Last updated in 2022, so it may not be actively maintained for future patches.
- Only affects one hairstyle, so it's a minor change for most players.
This is for Mass Effect fans who miss the original trilogy's 'Sexy' VI hair and want it in the Legendary Edition. It's also for players who enjoy customizing FemShep's appearance with classic options. If you're not nostalgic for that specific hairstyle, this mod won't add much to your game.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you're installing the correct version for the specific LE game you're modding (LE1, LE2, or LE3).
- Use a mod manager like ME3Tweaks Mod Manager to avoid conflicts with other character mods.
- If you don't see the hair in-game, double-check that the mod is enabled and that you're looking at the right customization slot.
