Could you make this mod in Legendary edition? I love EDI and would like to have her wear clothing on Normandy as well. I got her missions covered via changing outfit but her default outfit is just bad with her "top heavy platform" that is at several places outright destroyed and shows her inner cables. I would love to use this mod even in the remaster.
I wish I could, but I don't own ME:LE myself. More importantly, I haven't got permission from the creator of the original textures to use them in ME:LE so I can't in good faith allow a direct port.
But I'm sure there will be similar mods coming down the pipeline before long! Keep watch on the ME:LE nexus!
Hello - thank you for this mod - it has been my go to for a long while. If I may be so bold - have you ever considered making a DLC-version of this mod? For those who've recently vanillaed their installation it can be rather irksome trying to make the .MOD compatible with the latest versions of me3explorer
Thank you for using it, as well as your incredible mods that have long been go-to's in my game as well :)
I have thought of making all of my mods dlc actually, but to be honest I have neither time nor motivation for modding anymore. I've recently been considering trying to find someone more active to pass them on to for updating and safekeeping, though.
First off - thank you for responding. I understand how motivation can really affect the modding-approach - I too have had my issues with it. One approach is to consolidate all your mods into one 'super' DLC mod and with the Mass Effect Modder, enable the user to have options to choose from
Hiya. Just installed this and love it. I'm trying to understand if, based on your comments, it should be working with DLC or not. Seems to be fine on the Normandy and the Presidium Commons, but in Bryson's lab, for ex., it's not showing. Is that expected or did I mess something up? I got the two .dll files and nothing is missing or conflicting graphically, just no science outfit.
It does indeed work in all dlc, save for the archive raid in Citadel, and then only if she isn't in your squad. If it's not appearing in Bryson's lab, the most likely scenario is that you have another mod that alters Leviathan. I have no idea what mod it could be though! XD I've lost track of what mods do what these days...
Thanks so much for your reply. I've now got it so she's wearing it on the Normandy and Silversun Strip, but... not on missions. XD
I switched outfits on the character selection screen at one point and that's what shows up on missions. I was wondering if I screwed it up somehow, like maybe she should be set to her default outfit. Anyway, I'm always delighted when she shows up onscreen in this. It's really nice. I'll try to sort it for next time. :)
AHA! Yes, I figured that out recently. I thought I'd read the instructions well, but I guess not. Anyway, she's looking fine and science-y these days. Thank you so much.
Just wanted to say massive thanks for this :) EDI is much more appealing for me now with this suit than the default, really enjoy the new proportions and suit design.
Thanks for making this mod! Even though you say that the ME3 Explorer REV 653 is the one needed, I tried it with the latest stable release and it works fine. Mod Maker stated the files were out of date and then "updated" them before running. I haven't tried it with the EGM armor mod for EDI yet though.
Glad you like it and glad it works with the latest version too! And if you mean the Alliance Warpack, that mod doesn't replace any original files, instead adding entirely new and separate armors. They work beautifully together and I heartily recommend playing with both
I updated to ME3Explorer 3.0 for the new EGM. The tpf installs fine but the meshes only partially install. Do you have a manual way that I can install the meshes? Any chance of updating this like your Liara Ajax and casual mod?
The funny part is that your other mesh mods allow me to update them to ME3Explorer 3.0 and work perfectly if I make the texture mods tpfs and install after the updated meshes. But your Edi's Science suit seems to be missing the glowing parts of the mesh.
Sorry it's been so long to reply, I didn't get a notice you'd commented. By 'the glowing parts of the mesh', do you mean the lights on her sleeves and pin? If so, that's a texture issue, not a mesh one. If the TPF Tools altered her diff and spec file, they might not show up properly. If however her uniform isn't showing up at all in a few places, you can extract the mesh itself from any .pcc that works properly and move it into one that isn't via Meshplorer.
I will be adding source files to the mods that don't have them in the nearish future to aid in installing with the new ME3Explorer version, so keep an eye open for those if you still have problems. Probably won't be until closer to Christmas when I have some time off again.
As for updating to DLC, I'm afraid not. I haven't been able to get my own DLC mods to work. Another modder did the Liara mods for me and he's quite busy, so I won't ask him to do this one. If anybody volunteers, I'd be glad to let them, but I just plain can't get them to function myself.
HI, i added your mod and on the normandy it works great, as it does in citadel simulator, But on Presidium it loads wrong textures. She has the shape of the outfit so the mesh is there, but no textures. Would appreciate the help. Thank you.
I am sorry to have to ask this because the mod worked fine the first few times I tried it but now it is just leaving Edi's body blank and without details and I somehow lost the readme file while dealing with a virus on my computer, but how do you get rid of this mod and get EDI back to her default outfit.
I can't figure it out and there are no instructions on any webpage I visit so you are my last hope. I am making a Let's Play and I don't want a blank featureless EDI body in it.
I would just redownload the file but the internet is so slow where I live I keep getting error messages when I try to do that so I am stuck and unable to play the game until I can get to the library and I can only make it there once a month and it is looking like it will be two or three months this time before I can make it back there.
The only way to get rid of it is to replace the files with vanilla, install another replacer mod, or manually install her original body/textures. Is her body truly blank, though? As in flat grey or maybe grey with some bright blue patches? If so, you can try installing the mesh and textures manually a few times. That will sometimes fix a 'blank' body in my experience.
Oh that requires reinstalling the game and Origin will not let me do that without downloading an update that I can't download at the moment.
Her body is featureless but it is not black, it's shiny, but it has no features, you can see the basis shape of the outfit but no detail, if I could upload a picture I would.
Can you tell me what the files that I need to replace are named? Maybe I can find them on my own. Is there a tutorial anywhere online that tells you how to replace textures in the game, because I forgot how I did it in the first place and the one that is linked to on the front page of this mod just say to replace the textures but it says nothing about how that is done.
Thanks for your time and help, I know I am being a pain but I honestly can't remember how i did any of this and i can't find any instructions online when I google it.
Be sure to run the TOCBin Updater (under the Tools menu) on the base game and any modified DLC after doing any modding, otherwise you'll get an infinite load screen. In ME3Explorer REV 653, run the utility, navigate to your Mass Effect 3/BIOGame folder and open the PCConsoleTOC.bin file, let it scan and approve any changes it finds. Do the same with the DLC by going to the DLC TOCBin Updater (under Developer Tools/TOC). Run the utility, click File/Check SFAR and navigate to the altered DLC's SFAR file, which in this case would be under DLC_EXP_Pack001\CookedPCConsole and DLC_EXP_Pack003_Base\CookedPCConsole. Let it scan both files and then you should be fine.
In v2.0, you'll want to run Auto TOC instead. It's under User Tools/TOC Tools. Run the utility, click Generate All and let it work. You should be good after that.
Remember, my mods can only be installed with REV 653 (for the time being) if you have or intend to update to v2.0. The textures for this one at least can be installed with 2.0, but the mesh would need to be installed manually. If you still want the instructions for a manual install, just let me know and I can send them to you, but try a TOCBin update first. No need to do it the hard way if you don't have to
Hey I hate to ask but do you have a link to a download of ME3Explorer REV 653? I have spent all night searching for that exact version online and have come up with nothing, there seem to be latter versions, which is what I seem to have or earlier versions but not the exact version needed to fix this problem, if you know where I can get it I would be grateful, thanks again for all of your help.
Never mind I found the right version but they will not download on my home computer so sorry to have bothered you. I will let you know when I get into the library in a couple of months and can download the right files if it worked.
Thank you for all of your time and help and for hanging in there with me.
I fixed it in the strangest way possible, so strange I have no idea why it worked.
After everything else failed I just load a game save from right before EDI gets her body and sure enough she showed up textures and all and I played to the point I was at and all her textures are fixed, now in my other game saves her textures are still missing, so I have no idea what is going on. This is just weird and it doesn't make any logical sense, I mean if they game isn't reading the textures it shouldn't matter what save you use and it restoring them shouldn't lead to an infinate loading screen. I have no idea what happened or how this fixed it, i am just glad it is over.
Thanks again for your time and help, sorry I bugged you with something that turned out to be so trivial.
Really I have no idea why this worked out and I am kind of weirded out that it was so easy to fix.
Thanks for this, it is a huge improvement. It always bugs when the logical females in Sci-Fi who have no feelings wear skimpy outfits because it doesn't make much logical sense to me. I mean military uniforms are designed the way they are for a reason, to let military people do their jobs well in life or death situations so why would a logical character wear anything different, if they did wear their own suit wouldn't it be designed by them to do the job better, not to show off their looks. I am not a SJW, it's just ever since I was a kid I have always liked characters actions, right down to the clothes they wear to make sense from both a story and character standpoint so characters like 7 of 9 always bugged me and I was sad to see Bioware fall into that same trap with mass effect 3 but you and another modder here have fixed those problems. As someone who can't program I would just like to say, thank you so much.
Oh and I am asking on every board for mods I am using have you run into a glitch where after the Citadel is attacked by Cerberus when you try to go to the bar the game gets stuck on a loading screen? I am only asking because I have never run into this glitch before and it is happening to me now and I can't find anything like this with google so I think it must be one of the mods I am using. I am not expecting tech support or anything I am just asking around to see if anyone else has run into it using the same mods I am.
Thanks for all the hard work and thank you for your time.

As for your bug, I haven't seen it myself, but there's a few mods out there that affect Purgatory. There might be a conflict in there somewhere.
