About this mod
Replaces Miranda's hair with her original Mass Effect 2 version, changes her teeth with a custom more accurate version, and provides fixes to vanilla bugs related to her.
- Permissions and credits
- Changelogs
For years Miranda's hair and teeth in Mass Effect 3 have bothered me. I always felt there was something off, so I tried to do something about them and this is what came of it.
This mod replaces Miranda's hair in the game with a port of her original Mass Effect 2 version, using JimboJeffers' Ultimate Miranda Mod (ME2) textures, changes her teeth with a custom mesh based on her ME3 mesh and texture, but modified to be more accurate to her actress, changes her squad selection image to have her new hair, and offers fixes to vanilla bugs related to her.
WHAT'S NEW?
v1.4.1
v1.4.1
- Improved Horizon eyelid fix by Jenya66: An improved fix to Horizon eyelid bug that was caused by the blood effect has been implemented, thanks to Jenya66. There's no longer a need to remove the blood effect, so now it has no drawbacks, meaning the fix doesn't need to be optional anymore.
v1.4.0
- New custom Miranda's teeth: Teeth based on her ME3 mesh and texture: but modified so they more accurately resemble the real actress'. Previous versions featured a direct import of her ME2 teeth, but the textures were lacking.
- Added optional Horizon eyelid fix: During the final part of Horizon, the blood effect applied to her face caused her eyelid to be red, and her inner eyelid to be green. This has been fixed, at the cost of removing the face's blood effect, hence why it's optional.
- Added inner eyelid fix by Jenya66: Through the game, Miranda's inner eyelid had a decoloration that seemed to be makeup, but was actually a bug. An extra texture file has been provided by Jenya66 to fix this issue.
- New compatibility: A patch for Take Earth Back has been added.
- Compatibility patches: All compatibility patches have been updated for the latest versions of the mods.
- Installation options: The installation process has been automated for ease of use, and preview images have been added where appropriate.

v1.0.0
This mod wouldn't have been able to get this far without the amazing help of the Mass Effect modding community.Here are some special thanks in no particular order:
Audemus, ellia, jaygee, glowstick, Mgamerz, NotQuiteRadiant, Sil, ThaliaGrace, Zero Escape: For welcoming me and pointing me in the right direction when I first ventured into this project.
Catachrism, Mellin, Khaar, Scottina123: For teaching me how to export and import my hair mesh properly, I had no idea what was what.
Mellin: For teaching me how to edit and go through the process of getting the hair to not behave like a monster. (And for helping me unhide the parts I had hidden by accident, I was sure I was going crazy)
beccatoria: For the great hair modding and first-time DLC tutorials and for your explanation of mem mods.
SeraCollins: For showing me how to edit the textures properly. Miranda looked like robocop before.
Strife The Historian & Taijfun403: Without whom I wouldn't have found the commands to speed through the game, significantly reducing the time it took me to test the mod.
Mentlegen: For the Citadel DLC saves, they were a very appreciated resource; and for helping me debug last-minute bugs, they were scary.
Veyron722skyhook: For the JAM to CEM save. My Shepard's fate was sealed otherwise...
Mgamerz & Aquadran: For the week you endured trying to help me get this mod work as a mem file. It didn't end up going in that direction, but the enormous help is greatly appreciated.
Scottina123: For teaching me how to make this mod behave well with others. I would have been stuck in compatibility hell without it.
Sil: For the bbcode! I had no idea what it was or how it worked before.
Jenya66: For recording the footage for the videos and screenshots. My 720 screen doesn't do the game justice.
Khaar & Mgamerz: For helping me compact the files. I was getting chonky files instead.
To all the developers of ME3Explorer and ME3Tweaks Mod Manager: Without these tools, I would have never been able to do something like this.
Special thanks to everyone who answered my thousands of questions, thanks for your enormous patience!
Thanks to everyone for your support throughout this journey, it helped keep my spirits up when issues arose.
I probably missed many names, but be certain that I'm eternally grateful to all of you.
I guess it's true what they say, it does take a village to raise a noob.
