FemShep Appearance Consistency Project
A conversion of ME3's Default Jane head mesh for use in Mass Effect 1. This will alter ME1's default FemShep (no Custom Shepards) to her Mass Effect 3 appearance, for a more consistent look between games. Mass Effect 2 version is
here.
A NOTE ON LEGENDARY EDITION: As a "Consistency Project," this mod will not be ported to the LE. FemShep's actual head mesh is now in all three games in the Legendary Edition. The complexion textures used in this mod are not mine, but were used with the permission of the authors who created them.
All three of the custom complexions used in this mod are now available as mods for the LE:
Jenya66:
Andromeda Inspired FemShep Complexion (MELE1) (along with
Customizable Default Femshep Headmorph for Legendary Edition 1-2 and
Customizable Default Femshep Headmorph for Legendary Edition 3)
Ellise:
Default Femshep Retexture MELE1-2-3.
Audemus:
Alternate Ellise Default FemShep Retexture.
Updates
5.11.21 - Update to include two new optional complexions, ME1Controller support, and finally adding in the consort scene.
6.20.20 - Small update to mod deployment.
6.7.20 - File has been updated to a DLC mod. It now includes all main romance sex cutscenes, as well as character creation. The Consort sex scene still needs a fix, and will be included in a future update. Updated version is now installed via ME3Tweaks Mod Manager.

Installation
Install with
ME3Tweaks Mod Manager 6.2 or higher by Mgamerz. Drag and drop the 7z into the mod manager to install. As with all content mods, install
BEFORE texture mods such as
ALOT.
When choosing installation options,
MAKE SURE TO KEEP YOUR COMPLEXION CHOICES CONSISTENT. In character creation, be sure to choose "Confirm Appearance" instead of "Change Appearance." This does not work with custom Shepards, so you MUST use the Default FemShep appearance for it to appear in game.
OptionsThere are a number of different options included with the installation. The main file (without any of the options checked) will include Ellise's textures and the default casual outfit. The various options are:
Complexion OptionsBy default, Ellise's complexion is installed. You can also choose the ME3 Vanilla Complexion, Audemus's edit of Ellise's Complexion, or Jenya's Andromeda-Inspired Complexion.
Outfit Options
Spacer, Science, and Officer outfit swaps, along with the ME3 N7 Hoodie. By default, the normal Alliance casual outfit is installed. If using the N7 Hoodie,
be sure to choose the hoodie that matches you complexion choice.Compatibility for ME1ControllerBy default, no compatibility is installed. If using ME1Controller, choose the option that corresponds with your complexion choice.
Compatibility for Same-Gender Romances
Patch for Same-Gender Romances by rondeeno, only available if you have Same-Gender Romances installed, so be sure to install SGR
before FemShep Consistency
. Choose the option that corresponds with your complexion choice.

This file was created with
ME3Explorer - ME3Tweaks Fork by Mgamerz, and with
Mass Effect Modder. It would not have been possible without all the work the developers have put into the ME modding community.
