📋 About This Mod
Please note this mod is a DLC 'plug and play'. Just place it in your DLC folder and you're good to go!
This mod expands on the original Ashley Battlepack mod by survivor686, who has very kindly given me permission to use his resources. It contains four outfits and totally fixes Ashley's Marksman power bug. It now also, optionally, includes the Ashley makeover by Ele08 by reducing Ashley's bust, putting her in standard Alliance fatigues, and re-doing her face and hairstyle to match her ME1 appearance.
Mainly this mod was created, initially by survivor686, to replace the spectacularly inappropriate-for-combat catsuits that Ashley wears in the base game. This expanded mod also gives her a full breather helmet with every outfit, including her 'From Ashes' outfit, replacing the awful visor... thing.
Key points (v2. 0):
1. Ashley now wears the Alliance fatigues as her casual outfit, and has a more ME1-like face and hairstyle.
2. Ashley's new Ajax armour is her default armour, replacing the default 'S1' armour. It now has a full breather helmet.
3. The S1 armour now becomes Ashley's second outfit. It now has a full breather helmet.
4. Ashley's Spectre armour from the Battlepack remains exactly the same.
5. I've also replaced Ashley's 'From Ashes' outfit visor with a full breather helmet. (only works if you have 'From Ashes')
6. Ashley now wears her formerly-default 'S1' blue armour in the Citadel Arena. She does have a helmet too, I am working on removing it in a
future release.
7. All outfits have Ashley's ME1-style combat bun hairstyle.
8. All outfits contain fixes for the 'Marksman' power bug. (v1. 2 adds a fix to a file used specifically for the 'Citadel' DLC)

This expansion adds two new combat outfits for Ashley, replacing her catsuits, and upgrades her 'From Ashes' outfit with a full breather helmet. A cosmetic mod for Mass Effect fans who want more practical armor for Ashley.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 415 endorsements and over 5,000 downloads.
- Gives Ashley more practical, combat-ready looks instead of the ridiculous catsuits.
- Builds on survivor686's original mod, so it's a natural expansion for fans.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2019, so it may not be compatible with newer game patches or mods.
- Only affects Ashley's appearance—no gameplay changes, so if you want new mechanics, this isn't it.
- Potential conflicts with other mods that alter Ashley's outfits or armor models.
For Mass Effect players who want Ashley to look like a soldier, not a model. If you're tired of her catsuits and want more tactical armor options, this is for you. Skip if you're looking for gameplay overhauls—this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager like ME3Tweaks Mod Manager, install this mod through it to avoid conflicts.
- Make sure you have the original Ashley Battlepack mod installed first, as this expands on it.
- Check your load order if you have other Ashley appearance mods—this one should override them.
