A Guide to Editing Heads In Mass Effect Andromeda

What is this?

This guide along with the project files are a modder's resource for people who want an even more customisable Ryder. I've tried to make the guide as beginner friendly as possible but you will probably still need to look up some videos on Youtube on how to use Blender.

This mod includes:

• []A written guide in the form of a pdf file

  [].fbproject files for both Ryders for ease of use

  Please let me know if something is unclear about the guide/project files or just not working and I'll try to correct it

  Limitations of this mod

  With importing an edited head mesh into the CC presets, there are some things currently not

  possible. This includes changing eye colour (which is why I explained how to do it in Frosty

  Editor) and adding makeup, scars and tattoos. These limitations are probably caused by

  replacing default Ryder’s head which can’t be edited in the CC, unfortunately. You would have to

  add makeup, scars and tattoos to the complexions themselves.

  There’s also an issue where the mesh of modded hairstyles will reset to the vanilla game mesh but

  keep the textures of the mod if you go into the facial reconstruction menu on the Tempest. The

  solution for this is mentioned in the guide.
