COMPATIBILITY

===== To avoid issues, please disable or uninstall this mod if you don't play as Cullen Shepard ======

This mod uses cloned assets so other mods that affect MaleShep can be applied on it, as long as the following features are not replaced :
  • renegade scars textures
  • Bloody face texture
  • Default MaleShep Head Mesh
  • Wrinkles texture

If you use this mod with other ones that affect BioP_char.pcc file, weird effects could appears on the character creation screen, but it will work fine in game.

Do not use my Default FemShep Replacer mod with this mod : uninstall or deactivate the one you don't need with Mod Manager.




KNOWN ISSUES

  • The hair texture visible during the character creation is not the good one : do not worry, but the texture visible in game is correct.
  • Some weird shadow effects are visible on the hair : this is due to lightmap issu with Unreal Engine 3. I will try to fix it.
  • A seam is visible between head and body : I will correct it later.
