About:
This mod package will add several hairstyle options for custom Female Shepards in Mass Effect 3 Legendary Edition. There are 15 different hairstyles to choose from, and 9 'alternate' versions for the longer hairstyles which are aimed to be used with the bulkier armours, like the N7 armour.


Other versions:
Another Femshep Hairpack (ME1LE) 
Another Femshep Hairpack (ME2LE)



Installation instructions:
Download the file, do not unpack the .7z-file, but drag-'n-drop it into the ME3Tweaks Mod Manager window. Select "Import Mods", and after it's finished, don't forget to click on "Apply Mod"! 


Uninstallation instructions:
Within ME3 Tweaks Mod Manager, select the ME3LE Installation Target, and click on the "Manage Target"-button next to it, from the next menu you will be able to choose whether to disable or delete the mod entirely.
Don't forget to change the hairstyle in your savefile to a different one not in this package or else the save might not load.


Usage instructions:
As of version 1.3, DropTheSquid's BETA Appearance Modification Menu for LE3 is supported, so you can now change the hairstyles whenever you can change the rest of Femshep's appearance!
Installation of this mod is HIGHLY recommended in the first place!


Or the classic way by using TSE:
Open Trilogy Save Editor, open a save file of which you want to alter the hairstyle with (Recommended is to select either a Manual save or an Autosave, Quicksaves can sometimes give unexpected issues!), and find and change the values shown below under the Headmorph-tab (click Spoiler to show; your values may vary):

How to change the hair colour: 
It is very much possible the colours don't entirely match those of vanilla LE3 or other hairpack's hairstyles, or you just want to try something different, so with the following tutorial I'll show you on how it's done in ME3LE:

Spoiler:  
Show

In Trilogy Save Editor, go to Headmorph -> Vector Parameters -> HED_Hair_Colour_Vector, and click on the coloured box next to the RGB and A values. Here you can change the hair colour.

It's also possible to change the highlight colours (the colour of the shine on the hair) to any colour of your liking, by changing the following parameters:
-Headmorph -> Vector Parameters -> Highlight1Color and
-Headmorph -> Vector Parameters -> Highlight2Color.

The screenshot below is an example:




Known Issues:

Clipping:
These hairstyles will clip through whatever attire Shepard is wearing, even after carefully adjusting and weighting the hairs, they won't fit everything flawlessly. There really isn't much to do about it as long as hair physics isn't properly supported in Mass Effect.

It is the very reason I've added alternate versions to the package so they will clip less with certain outfits, but it will still happen. And some hairstyles just won't look as good with some specific outfits, so it's a bit of trial and error on the user's side too.

Basically: the "_H"-hairstyles should go better with bulky armour types like the N7-armour,  and the "regular" ones with the various casual clothing options available.

The meshes are originally made by Newsea. The textures and conversions were done by me.
