Changelogs
This mod replaces the dress of FemShep with a variant of the dress from the Kasumi DLC of ME2.
It also replaces the dresses of Brooks and Ashley in the Citadel DLC casino mission (and the following debriefing).

I tweaked the mesh quite a bit: More polygons, shorter dress and higher heels.
I also tweaked the textures (original version is from Ottemis): I made the dress more glossy and created the tint and mask maps for the Citadel DLC.

There is an optional mesh file which makes the dress for Ashley and Brooks even shorter (remember Ashley? "Ultrasexy outfit: check!")
And there is another optional mesh file with the original dress.
ONLY CHOOSE one of the *.mod files!

Installation
You need at least ME3Explorer 3.0 to install the mod (the meshes and materials can only be installed with ME3Explorer).
If you install the tpf-file (textures) with another program you don't have to initialize the texplorer cache of ME3Explorer.

1) Install all DLC-mods and all altered pcc-files.
2) Load ONLY ONE of the mesh files with Mod Maker of ME3Explorer 3.0
     a) KasumiDLC_dress_mesh.mod: My tweaked dress
    OR
     b) KasumiDLC_dress_original_mesh.mod: the original ME2 dress
    OR
     c) KamumiDLC_dress_short_mesh.mod: an even shorter dress for Brooks and Ashley. FemShep has the a-version because the c-version shows seams on FemShep
  There is already one compatibility patch for the Ashley marksman fix included in this mod.
3) OPTIONAL: Load your own compatibility mod if you need compatibility patches for installed DLCs.
      I wrote a guide on how you can make compatibility patches for my mod by yourself. You can find the guide on the side of one of my other mods: Edi as Dr. Eva
4) Run all the jobs (press Run all).
5) OPTIONAL: Install all texture mods you want to play with, for example ALOT.
6) Install the texture file KasumiDLC_dress_textures.tpf with the program of your choice. You can use ME3Explorer, ALOT installer (drag and drop the file) or Mass Effect Modder. But don't use more than one program!

WARNING: It's not advised to install mesh mods after the installation of textures! It could work but there is no guarantee.

Compatibility
As already noted a compatibility fix for the Ashley marksman fix DLC is already included.

The following pcc-files are modified by this mod:
CookedPCConsole\BIOG_HMF_ARM_CTH_R.pcc
DLC\DLC_EXP_Pack003\CookedPCConsole\BIOG_HMF_FRM_SHP_R.pcc
DLC\DLC_EXP_Pack003_Base\CookedPCConsole\BioH_Exp3_Traynor_1.pcc
DLC\DLC_EXP_Pack003_Base\CookedPCConsole\BioD_Cit003_950CineChars.pcc
DLC\DLC_EXP_Pack003_Base\CookedPCConsole\BioH_Exp3_Ashley_1.pcc
DLC\DLC_EXP_Pack003_Base\CookedPCConsole\BioH_Exp3_Femme_1.pcc
DLC\DLC_CON_ASH\CookedPCConsole\BioH_Exp3_Ashley_1.pcc

Any DLC-mod which uses one of these files can lead to incompatibilities if you don't make a compatibility patch.
