Ash's hair model haven't changed between ME1 and 2. Same goes for her face/scalp textures. Ash's hair duplicates in all ECC mods, one version uses regular Shepard's scalp texture and is compatible with all but Ash's complexion, and another one that uses Ash's scapl and only compatible with her complexion.
I figured all that out. The hair clipping isn't noticeable most of the time if you change it from the preset's default to a flat-black hair color (0,0,0) in the editor. It looks darn good actually.
I think I'm giving up on ME3. Been trying for three days and there's just no way to get Shepard to look like Ashley. The face codes don't transfer right and are all wrong. The face texture won't work despite two days of me fighting with it. I managed to get it to align right, but the color is all wrong. Looks just bad.
Another modder created a modded version of Ashley's skin texture that looks awesome but it's only for Legendary, which doesn't have the face codes either so I'm basically F'ed with ME3/LE3.
The reworked lighting in the CC and squad member screen looks fantastic! I can't wait to use it on my next playthough; even if I end up not utilising any other elements of the mod, it'll be worth it for that improvement alone! :)
I'm aware you've also made an ECC for ME3, but is there any chance you could look into making the same lighting improvements, please? Thank you!
I wish I could do that. I looked into it, but CC in ME3 built differently and I failed to find the way to edit light sources in there. If one day I figure it out I will definitely update ECC3.
I'm having a problem with the "sexy" hairstyle, the one that isn't available in vanilla, the hair still looks plastic. I don't have any textures installed or any other hair mods. Any Ideas?
No, the hair textures is a separate mod and can be found here https://heleuss.tumblr.com/post/156937764524/me1-me2-better-hair-textures-oldie-but-goodie
So, I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong, but I seem to just "lose" the textures somehow. I tried using the Ash complexion and hair, and it works great - until I restart my game. Happened twice now, and I can't get it to work. I rolled back to vanilla, reinstalled, installed this mod first, installed my other tex mods, but nothing helps. Is it possible that armor mods are interfering with this one? I have the Tarsh No Helmet mod, and I tried removing it, but no help. I'm also using the asari commando retex, but I can't really think that would cause issues. Please help, I LOVE this mod, and I need it or I will die. Kudos.
Thank you all for your kind words. Can't wait to see what characters you will make with those opinions! ME3 version is currently in development. Stay tuned <3
Thank you so much for making this mod, its amazing! I especially love the reworked lighting on the character creator, I haven't seen that done before and it looks so good!
