I really love this mod! It makes a huge difference. Since the BSN website is no longer available is there another way to download the version for ME2? Thanks!
Pretty sure you need to use <strong>Texmod</strong> to apply the file. I'll update if I get it working. I'm on Origin, so it is extra finicky. <u>Update</u>: Got it to work. Had to follow a youtube video for ME3 and change some file names, but it was pretty easy. search: "<strong>origin texmod mass effect 1</strong>" and the first result should be a tutorial. The tutorial links to a video called "<a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUUS3m7oN68'><strong>High Res Textures in ME3 (SP & MP)</strong></a>" by user <strong>saltisgood</strong>. You can find the text for the .bat file in the video description. You should watch the video so you will know what you're doing.

<u>Update2</u>: You can use ME3Explorer and this is all (should be) much easier
Just loaded Mass Effect and started loading some selected mods. I looked under the description tab here, at your 'ReadMe', and in zip file contents, but I can't find where this file is supposed to be unzipped to. Where do I put this file? Thank you.
A mod I'd like for ME1 would be a one that gives some certain merchants batarian armors and geth weapons that don't appear in the game unless we use console command.
