Known Issues!
- Using any version of this mod will give (either or depending on which version) Miranda and Kasumi a weird Eye Texture Bug, probably because she is confused that you are wearing her clothes, I don't know how to fix this and I don't know why (I mean I think I do but that's tech talk) I don't think I can fix it.
- The Miranda suit will also have a massive neck seam, nothing I can do about that! Miranda was genetically engineered to fit into that suit we can't all have petite necks. The suit also has a different skin tone on the chest area, this I can also not fix but you can try using the save game editor tool to change your skin tone to match Mirandas.
- Upon further testing I have noticed that at times loading into a hub or a mission will leave you with a black screen, the only thing to do there is to force quit the game and reload from the launcher menu (don't worry, Mass Effect makes a save file for the select squad menu which is where the black screen occurs) sadly this is another bug that I cannot fix as I am dumb.
Jane Shepard's Closet
The remaster added a much-needed coat of paint to my favorite Bioware Games, giving Default Femshep a consistent and gorgeous makeover. But the lack of options in the armor department cannot be ignored anymore. Don't get me wrong I adore that Femshep can and will canonically headbutt a Krogan Elder and not even have a headache, but that doesn't mean I want to dress like a Super Soldier at all times.
SO!
I set out with the clear goal to allow my Jane Shepard to look just as gorgeous and fashionable as her female squadmates. If that means stealing their outfits from the Normandy laundry room, so be it.
Currently, the options are:
- Kasumi version:
Kasumi's Gear for Femshep as Armor
- Miranda version:
Miranda's Default gear for Femshep as Armor and as Casual wear.
- Miranda and Kasumi version:
Miranda's Default gear for Femshep as Armor and as Casual wear + Kasumi's gear as armor.
I recommend only using the Kasumi Edition or the Miranda Edition for less bugs and complications!
Honestly, it felt like a miracle that I even got the Kasumi Armor to work so I'm not making any promises.
At the moment I've Been Trying to add Liara's and Vasirs armor but they both crash the game for me, in the old days I would use an ini fixer and see if that solves my problem, but I don't believe that there are currently any working ini fixers, my only other hunch is that it's because I haven't even been to Illium and I haven't even started the Shadowbroker quest yet. So I will give it another try when I've done that.
If you run into any issues or bugs, feel free to leave a comment or message me, but I can't guarantee that I can help or fix it. I made this for my own personal use, but back when I didn't know how to this stuff myself, people who did share were a blessing so yeah.
Questions I Expect To Hear:
- "Can you add X, Y, or Z?"
Depends on if I feel like it and if it's in the realm of possibility. It's honestly a miracle that I even got this to work.
- "Can you add Stuff for Male Shepard?"
I can but I won't, see the title of the mod.
- "This doesn't work for me?!"
If my mod doesn't work for you, I'm almost 100% you just need to look through the installation and Usage section. If that's not the case, leave a comment.
- "But It doesn't have any armor stats"
Yep, which is why I play on casual, I have no idea how to add stats via Coalesced modding, If someone does and wants to try explaining it to me please do.
Installation and Usage:
(these instructions could change depending on what I add or change in the future)
If these instructions aren't good enough, I can't help you. It's really not that hard to install and use this and I tried to make it as detailed and easy to understand as I could.
To install, simply download the file, Unpack it with whatever program you prefer, inside the unpacked folder should be a simple file called "Coalesced_INT.bin"
Then:
- Find your Mass Effect Legendary Edition Installation Location, should look something like this
"X:\Origin Games\Mass Effect Legendary Edition"
- From there navigate through the folders as follows: Game, ME2, BioGame, CookedPCConsole.
- Then in the folder called "CookedPCConsole" search for "Coalesced_INT", copy that file, and save it somewhere you will remember, I recommend making a folder dedicated to all things related to Mass Effect Modding.
- After that, you simply copy the file called "Coalesced_INT.bin" from the folder you downloaded from me and paste it into the "CookedPCConsole" folder, when it asks to override say yes.
- DONE!
Now to use it in-game simply approach the armor locker then select the gear from the torso section and for arms, legs, and shoulders there will be an "empty" one that will simply hide the default gear.
To not have any clipping with the Kasumi hood you have to select the sentry interface that makes you look bald, otherwise, your hair will always defy physics. Also, you must wear some sort of Headgear, idk why and I don't feel like fixing it. Just use the sentry interface it's nice.
NOTE: If you used gibbed and head morphs to give yourself Ashley's hair, you will have clipping with the hood no matter what.
Finally:
I've tested the armor in the Citadel HUB + Loaded into a mission but didn't finish it, I'm pretty confident there won't be too many issues.
From what I remember what used to be the problem with using squadmates clothing on your player was that you basically needed the game to force itself to load the 3d model by using a keybind to reopen the locker, but since I set the game to always load those files (bless whoever came up with that idea, your credit was probably lost in the forums when they got deleted) it shouldn't be an issue... I hope... I'll keep testing ( 。_ 。)
