Alright, It's clear I need assistance. Here's my issue....I download it (and I do have me3explorer) and i'm following the instructions for the .pcc installation. But the issue is the feature that the instructions say to use (TOCBinUpdater) isnt on me3explorer. It mightve been from an older version of it, so I have no idea what to do.
It's there but it's called ATOC - AutoToc, in the main menu of ME3Explorer, then you just click on generate all Tocs it won't ask you to update anything, if you've replaced a PCC file it'll just take a little moment to auto update it in the TOC
For those of you who are having trouble, Renegone did not upload one necessary file with her redesign. If you follow the link she provided to Girlplaysgames' How-To Guide, you'll notice she mentions files such as .upk, spec, diff, and norm. Search Girlplaysgames' mod section on her site to find the Aria Alliance mod she created. Download it and keep the .upk file from it. You won't need the other ones, unless you want to use her colors for the outfit.
Now, if you're using ME3 Explorer, go to Tools > Mod Maker. Click on TPF Files at the top and Open. Find the .tpf provided by Renegone. (You'll probably get an error message about missing files. Just click OK.) A new window will open that allows you to preview the texture files. Go to File > Extract All and extract the files wherever you want. This is how you get the correct spec, diff, and norm files required to follow Girlplaysgames' guide, but use Renegone's black and red textures (if you use the spec, diff, and norm files from Girlplaysgames, you'll have the white Aria outfit instead).
Seems to me the core files are bugged out. I get a black model there whatever I do.
With the optional file I at least get a model which loads the textures.
Your tip for tpf files led me there but that wasn't quite clear from the mod files. I needed to use the pcc in the optional files, not the core files to get it to work with any textures.
