I installed this mod using ALOT Free Installer- I dragged the .mod file and the .dds files into the installer and let it run. The mesh and texture seem to apply fine, but I seem to be having some issues with those little star like features on Liara's outfit. Having seen other examples, I know these patterns are part of the outfit, but in my installation they seem to be abnormally brighter. As you can tell, I'm a layman when it comes to mods. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?
Edit: I figured it out- I had installed the default version and it was conflicting with another Liara mod. I did a fresh install with the alternate costume and it works fine now. Cheers.
Just FYI, for those of you wanting this for legendary edition. CelestialZ has uploaded an LE version of the Aria outfit here: https://www.nexusmods.com/masseffectlegendaryedition/mods/897?tab=description.
However, that one uses different textures. That's a fantastic mod, but I absolutely love the textures that LusoryPrime uses for this mod. If you want to use the textures from this mod, you can simply do the following:
1) Install the LE mod linked above to install the outfit mesh. I installed the version that replaces her default outfit. 2) Download this original ME3 mod manually. Extract this mod and you should have 3 DDS files in the folder (diffuse, normal, and specular). 3) Open ME3Tweaks Mod Manager. Go to Tools > Mass Effect Modder (for Legendary Edition). 4) Open Textures Manager. You will need to have created the textures scan file before installing the textures mods, so I do that after installing DLC mods. If you haven't and have already installed texture mods, you may have to revert to vanilla first. 5) On the left, go down to "BioH_Liara_CitSim", then on the right toward the top you will see "ASA_ARM_LIA_AriaOutfit_Diff", "ASA_ARM_LIA_AriaOutfit_Norm", and "ASA_ARM_LIA_AriaOutfit_Spec". 6) Right click on one of them and select "Replace Texture" and then navigate to the corresponding DDS file in this mod's extracted folder and select it. (e.g., replace "ASA_ARM_LIA_AriaOutfit_Diff" with "Liara default DIFFUSE 0xDD4279A1 [LusoryPrime] v1.0.diff". 7) Do that for each of the 3 files (diffuse, normal, and specular).
I hope that helps anyone who wants this exact look for Liara in LE3 until LusoryPrime ports this to legendary edition, should they choose to do so. I did this and tested it and it works great.
Hey, so first off great looking mod:) So I have a weird problem. I've installed the mesh fine, and textures. However while the textures look fine whenever liara is in a casual area, the textures go bad in mission. Any ideas?
Ok, its looks mhmm on Liara Mod is working just follow the instructions... Btw 1st I added whole .7z file in ALOT Free mode after install and moded ME3 with ALOT installer and then i did like instruction on main page says. So thx for the mod anyway
Can you tell which DSS should replace what exactly texture (name if the texture)? I have to replace them manually, each one but I need to find proper texture to replace snce DDS Tool does not find valid textures in tree by himself.
I love this mod and I used it a few years back but now the mod file just does not install the mesh no matter if I use ME3Explorer or ALOT. I just end up with a Liara that has the default mesh and textures but also the textures are off so the default outfit doesn't even look right. It's sad and frustrating.
EDIT: ALOT doesn't even recognise the DDS files for the textures and neither does ME3Explorer. I tried to manually replace them in the tree using TEXPLORER but that didn't work either. Ah well looks like I'll just have to use another one of Liara's outfits.
How did you make it work? Every time I try to use the Mod Maker for the .mod file, it just freezes, and when I use TPF Tools for the .dds files, it won't let me analyze or have the Install Valid button available. Any suggestions?

EDIT: Played with ME3Explorer and found a way to do it.
