INSTALLATION HELP
These mods are solely available as a Texmod TPF. This because TPF's are more versatile than . MODs for textures and allow the user to choose whether they want to permanently apply the TPF textures via ME3Explorer, or use Texmod to temporarily apply them.
If you plan to install through ME3Explorer and are new to using it, check out the official wiki. I've added instructions on how to use the "TPF Tools" under Articles. Ive written a guide on Texmod that you can check out here. If you are permanently applying mods to DLC, be sure to download the DLC fix. Just place the two dll's in your game's Win32 folder. overwrite if prompted.
Additional Notes:
-
[]The use of ME3Explorer requires you to back up your vanilla gamefiles.
[]It's advised to try textures out via Texmod before permanently replacing them using ME3Explorer.
[]It's not possible to run a tpf via Texmod to replace a texture that was previously replaced using ME3Explorer. The hashes change and Texmod will not be able to find a match. You CAN overwrite a texture previously installed via ME3Explorer with another via ME3Explorer.
