Alternate Ellise Default FemShep Retexture

I adore Ellise's retexture of the iconic default FemShep, though I personally feel that the eyes/eyebrows made her look a bit too soft/young, and it didn't suit my Shepard's aggressive personality. This mod is a hybrid of Ellise's texture & vanilla to create what I feel is the best of both worlds - a much more natural-looking face texture that also retains the personality behind the original. It was originally part of FemShep Appearance Consistency Project for ME1/2, and I'm now releasing this standalone for Legendary Edition.

As of 2.0, an optional version has been added that has removed eyebrows. This version is for those of you who wish to use this mod with custom FemSheps and choose one of the custom eyebrow options. However keep in mind that using this involves save editing, so follow the instructions carefully below. Also, the eye makeup is still baked into the texture, so I would recommend not applying eyeshadow in the character creator.

Also, here's a pro tip: In LE2 and LE3, the game actually generates an autosave after you exit character creation, so if you want to see your custom femshep with these textures during the intro cutscene, quit the game after the save is made and open that in save editor, then replace the save and resume in-game when you're done.


Installation:
  • Open MassEffectModder - v503 or newer .
  • Go to Mods Manager and click on Mods Installer
  • Click on "Add to List" and import the MEM file (For example: Audemus-Ellise-FemShep-Complexion_ME1.mem)
  • Click Install All.
  • Repeat this process for each game in the trilogy.
  • To uninstall, either revert to your backup in ME3Tweaks Mod Manager, or download the LE1-LE3 Uninstallers from Misc files and repeat the above instructions. This will restore the textures to vanilla.

Save Editing for Custom FemSheps:
In, Trilogy Save Editor, in the Head Morph tab, under Texture Parameters, change the following values:

LE1 & LE2:

The images shown on the mod page are using the Customizable Default FemShep Headmorph by Jenya66 and NoiraFayn (LE3 Version Here). I highly recommend using it - it's a fantastic mod.
