About this mod

Using this file in your documents will force your Shepard model to instead be one of the galaxy's most unexpected threats!

We Are Shepard.

Permissions and credits
Ladies and Gentlespectres, I present to you a Config File!

Not just any config file. A file that changes your female and male Shepards to resemble the Geth!

Installation:
To use this, simply download the ini, and place it in your Documents>BioWare>Mass Effect>Config folder and replace the existing BIOGame file. 
*Not a bad idea to keep a backup of the original .ini file so you can go back to your normal human shepard player model whenever you wish*.
*This can be added in the middle of a playthrough with no bugs or problems whatsoever. Any weirdness that happens as a result of changing your model is undone by switching the model back to human or to another of my many upcoming model mods.*


Uninstallation:
Every character you create will retain the Geth model so long as the .ini file is in your Config folder. 
- To go back to your human shepard model if you deleted/replaced your original config folder, the quickest way to do so is to open the BIOGame file in notepad and use the Ctrl+F function. 
- Type "Actor" and hit Enter twice to find the female and male player models denoted as 'm_femaleActorType=' and 'm_maleActorType=' respectively. 
- After the equal sign, you'll want to replace the Geth text which should look like "BIOG_Geth_C.Geth.ELT_GethShockTrooper" with Shepard text! "BIOG_Male_Player_C.Human.Human_Male" and "BIOG_Female_Player_C.Human.Human_Female" under whichever gender you wish to use.
Note: You can keep either gender as the Geth if you wish to have a human female and a Geth male character at the same time. 

Doing so will also give you some of my settings that I use, but I play very close to vanilla, and anything can be altered in the settings for yourselves in-game. I've uploaded this as it took me a couple hours to figure out how to make either Shepard look like anyone else in Mass Effect, I figured I'd save any of you the trouble of doing so. 
(I use autosaves, manual party leveling, aim assist, subtitles, etc).

However it is very easy! I will pin a tutorial comment of how to accomplish this, so please see there for instructions to do this for yourself with any character model in the game!

Please enjoy as much as you like. 

Warning:

Playing as Geth will sometimes have closeup camera angles that peer over the head.
Additionally, since Geth are only ever in-combat ingame, you only have full control of movement when your weapon is out. When forced to holster (such as on the Normandy) consider using the console command "teleport" to move around. 

Please enjoy, and please request other models you'd like! Anything from random Asari to random Hanar!

...maybe even Sovereign ;)
