📋 About This Mod

For this modest texture mod, I did my best to hand paint an eye texture with neutral colors that would work well in most lighting situations. I used reference images of OT salarians, tree frogs, and salamanders.

All salarians in the game use the same eye texture, so this doesn't add color variation between characters. I wish I could add variation.

Installation

To use this mod you will need to download Frosty Tool Suite and launch the game from the Mod Manager.

This mod only alters two texture files. It will conflict with any mod that also alters the salarian eye texture.

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data
