Old Scars for LE2 & LE3

This mod is a simple port of Tahira's Old Scars mods. It replaces the scar textures for custom Shepard (male or female). I don't think the mod will work on default Shepard faces as the original mods did not, but I have not tried it myself.

Each file contains the textures for both genders.

The pictures for LE2 only show FemShep, and the pictures for LE3 only show MaleShep but I have tested both genders in the two games and I did not find any issue (I verified the scars' behaviour on the Normandy and in some cutscenes).

Feel free to post screenshots! I used my current FemShep and an old MaleShep from the OT (please excuse his very intense gaze).

How to use

The process is the same for LE2 and LE3 :

First, you have to install the .mem file in the game (using Mass Effect Modder version 5.13 or higher)


Then, in the Trilogy Save Editor, load up the desired save in which you want the scar to appear:

  • Go to Head Morph > Texture Parameters
  • At the bottom, click on 'add' to create a new parameter and put the following data in it
  • Name: HED_Face_Alignment_Norm
  • Value: BIOG_HMF_HED_PROMorph_R.Scars.HMF_HED_PROCustom_Scr(1-10) for female characters (for instance, BIOG_HMF_HED_PROMorph_R.Scars.HMF_HED_PROCustom_Scr7)
  • Value: BIOG_HMM_HED_PROMorph.Scars.HMM_HED_PROCustom_Scr(1-12) for male characters (for instance, BIOG_HMM_HED_PROMorph.Scars.HMM_HED_PROCustom_Scr4)
  • Save your edited save file

When you load your new save file, the scar will be displayed on your Shepard! (If you are seeing a red overlay on the scar, that means the texture file was not correctly installed)

To get rid of the scar, you can simply delete the HED_Face_Alignment_Norm in the save file.
I also added the original LE2 and LE3 textures in the miscellaneous files if you wish to remove the modded textures.
