Ashley, EDI, and Liara now all have unique and updated meshes/models that are much more practical than what their default bodies look like, and in particular, this mod makes Ashley and Liara decently buff. Where you can see the most changes in this mod are their chests, as I made all of theirs much smaller and somewhat flatter to be more of a realistic armor choice. Ashley and Liara's romance bodies have been edited as well. I made changes to various textures for armors for certain characters. I made it so that you can also pick and choose whose edits you'd like, so if you don't like my edits or you want to use someone else's mod, you can download other ones that may alter the body without worry.

Quick note: To check for updates, please look at the Changelogs. I'll keep things documented there :D

                                         


DETAILED CHANGES

Ashley 2.0: Her meshes are now much more muscular to reflect her Soldier background. All of her armor meshes are unique to her. I made texture edits to her default, alternative armor, and the pink default armor to better reflect the chest, as my edits make it so that the shadows of her breasts are no longer there and now look kinda flat-ish. Textures have all been cleaned up and her arms are a lot thicker in all armors.

EDI 2.0:  Meshes have been edited to better reflect a proportionate body and to make it a lot less sexualized. It changes EDI to look more human-like and less like she was designed by someone with no understanding of bodies. Her Default Armor has updated textures so that it gets rid of the camel toe and overall texture on her chest. All bodysuits no longer look like they're being sucked up her body and giving her a wedgie. Her Alternative Armor has the most changes, as the chestplate now is one piece instead of how it looked before. I tried to keep it vanilla-esque, so there's still a black area on the chest where her breasts/stomach used to be. Check out the images to see what I mean.

Liara 2.0: Edits were made mostly to her Alternative and From Ashes Armor, similar to Ashley's (because they shared the same exact model with different textures). While she and Ashley have separate armors even in the 1.0 iterations of the mod, in the 2.0 update, Liara now has more defined muscles on her armors, and she's just a lot thicker than before to the point where it's really noticeable. She's no longer stick thin and I've made a lot of edits to her default armor to make the chest area look a lot smoother than before. I guess you could say that she's buff now. Her romance body also better reflects the edits made to her outfits too.

Most of the changes can be found in the pictures I uploaded. I added a gif of how the armors Ashley shares with Liara are now different too.

I'll include an optional texture file to change the Naval Regs so it gets rid of the strange line in the chest. This texture change will affect all female characters (Shepard included).

                                         


REQUIREMENTS, COMPATIBILITY, & PATCHES

Community Patch and Framework is necessary for mine to work. 

Any mod that directly edits Ashley, EDI, and Liara's body and armors will not be compatible. Textures are compatible but like aforementioned, my textures (especially for Ashley/Liara's Alt. Armor) make it so that there's no longer a breast shelf in the chest plates, so other peoples' retextures may have that issue for that specific armor. If you download Liara Casual, it will simply override the default armor option. The default replacer option for the Aria Outfit for Liara T'Soni is incompatible with my mod as well but if you want to use the combat armor version, it should be fine because it only adds another armor option for Liara.

Ashley Consistency Project is now compatible with Jenya66's mod - thank you so much for your patience and wait this past year.

I have also made patches for Expanded Galaxy Mod so that the casual option you choose during EGM installation should have my edits. Ashley's Dress Blues, Naval Regs, and Pink S1 have been patched in, as well as all of EDI's armors/appearances. All of Liara's options have been patched too! I haven't tested out all of the choices but the ones that I did had the new edits :) 

Matching Fatigues Patch by Aleirdra is included but only for those who have the mod. I will not be providing this mod for those who do not have it as they have since hidden/deactivaed their mods within the community. For the patch itself, it's only for EDI. Be warned that the EGM patch will override the MF patch you chose during installation - only one can be chosen at a time. Furthermore, the menu version for EDI will not work if an option is chosen during EGM installation. A workaround is when installing this mod, choose "No Changes" for EGM Patch: EDI which should then allow the menu to work. 

My mod mounts higher than Project Variety so it will override the options in PV if you have it installed. While in theory it should be fine, do not quote me on this as I currently don't own a computer that can smoothly play PV, which means I'm unable to test several of my mods for compatibility.

                                         


INSTALLATION
Just drop my mod into ME3Tweaks Mod Manager to install. Don't forget to click Import and then Install.

For textures, you'll have to extract the files from the .rar file. From there, you need MassEffectModder (that can be found in ME3Tweaks) to then install. Make sure you download ALL textures only AFTER you finish downloading all mods.


UNINSTALL
You can disable or delete this mod in ME3Tweaks to uninstall. For the textures, you'll have to restore your game (as with any textures).


                                         



CREDIT
Thank you KkJiro for giving me permission to patch in EGM and to the amazing creators who have worked on the Community Patch/Framework mod :D Thank you to Jenya66 for just being the nicest person and answering my questions for patches and pointing me in the right direction for textures and whatnot <3 I'd also like to mention how I was influenced greatly by the LE3 Squadmate Bodies by Zoraski as this mod actually gave me the idea to create my own mod! Thank you to Aleirdra for allowing me to make a patch for their mod and for answering my questions too!

Also, just a quick note, thank you so much to the ME Discord, where I bothered a lot of people about texture issues and whatnot. This is my first ever mod so I had a lot of questions and there are definitely some issues I didn't catch. I tried my best to make sure that this mod works and I hope everything works smoothly! :)

Face retextures in images of Ashley and Liara were made by the wonderful Jenya66. Must be downloaded separately on the individual mod pages linked.

Update 1.5: I'd just like to reiterate my respect and just how thankful I am to those on the ME Discord. I was being such a menace with how many questions I was asking and being just a bother to everyone, but a lot of people still helped me out with a lot of things and issues I won't be discussing here. In particular, thank you to the amazing and wonderful MentalHygiene who actually looked at EDI's alt. armor blender file because of issues I was having!

I'd love to see your squadmates with my edits :D Please don't hesitate to tag me in pictures (you can find me on Tumblr as Jasonntodd) or upload them here to the mod!
