📋 About This Mod

Mass Effect Legendary Edition Version here

5. 11. 2014: updated the Mass Effect 2 headmorph with fixes from Alexandros3.

This is my default femshep, thought I'd share since it's already packed up. I haven't been able to play much lately, so I felt a bit bad just having her on ice. Perhaps others will enjoy her :)

3. 26. 2014:

Mass Effect 2 headmorph and texmod uploaded.

There is a minor cosmetic issue of a small line appearing at the neck seam on occasion, not sure if it's possible to fix. I transferred over each vertice by hand (!) with Gibbed and they all appear to correspond correctly to the model in 3ds. So, yeah.

Mass Effect 1 texmod uploaded.

Though it's not possible to create the exact shape in Mass Effect 1, here's the face texture in case anyone wishes to use it. Replaces complexion slider 3.

3. 3. 2014 Note using the current SVN TPF Tools (version 0107k) - When replacing textures in DLC files, if the size goes over 2gigs (which will happen with large mods) you will get a message your DLC is corrupt due to the engine being unable to handle files that large. The issue is currently being researched, more info on the official ME3Explorer forums: http://me3explorer.freeforums.org/dlc-is-corrupted-t1044-50.html

Base game replacement is still fully functional, workarounds for DLC (excluding DLC install, Texmod) are currently required if you're running into this problem.

Update 1. 0b: I have updated the install to 2 separate parts, the meshes via .mod and the textures via TPF Tool OR Texmod. This is to avoid bugs using old texture .mods on newer builds of ME3Explorer. I have also removed the separate texture download since it's now included separately in the main file. Source images can be extracted for modders using ME3Explorer.
