About this mod

IMPORTANT READ DESCRIPTION!!!

Requirements
Permissions and credits
Three of the face textures included with this mod are made by  femshepping from this Femshepping's Female MELE Complexions at Mass Effect Legendary Edition Nexus - Mods and community (nexusmods.com). I am extremely grateful for being given the permission to include them in this mod because those have got to be the best textures to ever be made for this game. Please visit and endorse her mod because there are so many wonderful options.

The textures I've used from Femshepping's Female MELE Complexions at Mass Effect Legendary Edition Nexus - Mods and community (nexusmods.com) are Taupe Freckles, Ombre Lips and Sunkissed Heavy Freckles.

Also BEFORE installing this be aware that you should backup your vanilla files. Particularly BIOG_HMF_HIR_PRO.pcc, Entry Menu.pcc and BIOG_HMF_HED_PROMorph_R for LE1. For LE2 BIOG_HMF_HED_PROMorph_R, BIOG_HMF_HIR_PRO and BIOP_Char. For LE3 BIOG_HMF_HED_PROMorph_R, BIOG_HMF_HIR_PRO, BIOP_Char and BIOG_MORPH_FACE

If there are mods with said files mentioned above, they will, unfortunately, conflict.

What this mod does is add hairs, complexions, skin, eye and hair color into the character creator.

The different options for both mods are: More, Bright Hair and Bright Hair + More.

'More' adds hair, skin and eye color. It also adds the complexions and for LE1 it adds extra hairs. For some reason for LE1 you can only have about 36 hairs and that includes the vanilla's or they disappear as you start the game. With the additions for LE1 I've replaced vanilla hairs but, as far as I'm aware, I've only replaced their spot in the sliders.

Bright Hair makes the hair options brighter. Blonde is now blonde and so forth. It only has the default femshep texture (ashley texture for LE1) and hairs. It doesn't include extra eye, hair or skin color.

'Bright Hair + More' is just a mixture of the two.

The reason I made these all separate was in case people didn't want extra stuff. Maybe people just wanted the hairs which is all that's given unless you click on one of the options before installing. It does come with the default femshep texture but if you want the other face textures then clicking on additions or Bright Hair + More is necessary. 

ANOTHER IMPORTANT THING!
If you had downloaded the very, very old version of this mod then it's no longer any good. The hairs are all named differently so installing this newest version of LE1 will make the hairs from the previous install disappear. Which also means that, if you're using the old version, you will need to recreate your character in LE2 because LE2 matches up with this newest version of LE1.

I hope everyone enjoys this mod and the biggest thanks to Femshepping for allowing me to use her beautiful textures!!

UPDATE 2.0: This adds three new textures. I tweaked vanilla complexions and I suck with textures if that wasn't obvious from Proshine but I keep trying to get freckles down and I feel like 'FreckleBlush' was as good as I'll ever get.

UPDATE 3.0: Ten new hairs have been added for LE2 and LE1. Hairs were replaced for LE1 because it'll only allow for so many hairs. To pick the newer hairs in LE1 click on 'Different Styles + More' or 'Different Styles + Brighter Hair + More.' It still has some of the old hair's but 10 were replaced. To get the new hairs for LE2 you must click on 'More or Brighter Hair + More' and you will have all the hairs. For LE3 it's all just included with the install.

If you wish to see all the new hairs before downloading Hair Mixtures Part 2 at Mass Effect Legendary Edition Nexus - Mods and community (nexusmods.com) has all the pictures vs just some of them.

UPDATE 3.2: This is for LE3. People had reported a bug and in testing I found out that if you exit the game the hair will disappear. This should fix that problem and hopefully there are no more issues going forward.

UPDATE 4.0: This is for those of you that have downloaded Miranda Hair Replacer at Mass Effect Legendary Edition Nexus - Mods and community (nexusmods.com) LE3 version. If you aren't using that mod, then I recommend that you don't download this one because it'd just be more space and basically unnecessary. You CAN download it even if you don't use the Miranda Hair Replacer, simply make sure all the options available are unchecked.

That said, the options are: MirandaClass (which is default for the replacer), Beautiful Dame and Cheerleader. The Miranda Hair Replacer has the pictures. Make sure to download this after the Miranda Hair Replacer and be sure that if your using Beautiful Dame you have that box checked for both mods and same goes for Cheerleader. If you're using the clsybun then MirandaClass is the only box you're going to need to check. I hope this made sense! :) 

Also, I should probably mention that if you download the LE3 Miranda hair compatibility version then you need to remove the regular LE3 version because they will conflict as they are the same mod just the one has more to it.

UPDATE 4.1: This is for those of you that have downloaded Miranda Hair Replacer at Mass Effect Legendary Edition Nexus - Mods and community (nexusmods.com) LE3 FRAMEWORK version. If you aren't using a hair replacer for Miranda or framework DO NOT USE THIS! I literally trashed her hair from the files in this. You could use the 4.0 version if you're uncomfortable with the idea of that but make sure you aren't using a hair's down option that isn't formal. Because while the Hair Additions appears to work with framework it will override hair replacers for NPC's and mess up the textures.

Also, should be noted that if you use any versions of this mod with the framework removing it from the DLC folder will basically make your game unplayable. You can make it playable again by reinstalling the mod but if you have this installed in your game and you're using the framework then you're stuck with it.

UPDATE 4.2(3.3): LE2 version should now be compatible with ALOT and other textures. I'm very sorry for how long this took!



This DLC doesn't appear to conflict with the appearance modification mod or the mod that lets you pick your prologue outfit. The only thing is that the options don't appear in those sliders. If you pick a complexion from this mod don't click on a different complexion because you'll have to recreate the character as the options provided by this mod only show up in the actual character creator.

Anyways, I hope everyone enjoys this mod!

For anyone wishing to replace the PROShine complexion texture it is HMF_HED_PROShine_Face_Diff and HMF_HED_PROShine_Face_Norm. 

To install into your game use ME3Tweaks Mod Manager and click the Mod Management tab then 'import mod' and 'import mod .7z/etc.' (<-- The very top one.) Then, when it pops up, click 'install mod' and it should give you the different options. Click the check box for whichever is your preference. If you don't want any of them then don't click on any and it'll just install the hairs without any bright colors.
