About this mod

Armor apperance swaps for various armor sets of the Andromeda galaxy.

Permissions and credits
Main files have been updated to be used with the Frosty Mod Manager, available to download here. Optional files and old versions still have to be installed with the ME:A Explorer.

Simple armor appearence swaps that I made since I don't like the bulky look of the higher rank armor. All the main files can be used together. Files modifying the same armor set can't.


All Angara armor will look like its Rank I variant for the male and female version.

All Heleus armor will look like its Rank I variant for the male and female version.


All Initiative armor will look like its Rank I variant for the male and female version.

All Kett armor will look like its Rank I variant for the male and female version.

All Outlaw armor will look like its Rank I variant for the male and female version.

All Pathfinder armor will look like its Rank I variant for the male and female version.

All Remnant armor will look like its Rank I variant for the male and female version.



Don't worry if the armor still looks the same in the menu, only the appearance itself has been changed. UI elements remain as before. Loading times may be longer than usual and the preview of your character in the skill and loadout menu will take a really long time to load.

Other armor swaps added by request:

  • Deep Space armor appearance to Scavenger armor appearance
  • Heleus Helmet Rank X to Angara Helmet Rank X
  • Kett armor appearance to Pathfinder Rank X armor appearance
  • Kett Rank X armor appearance to Initiative Rank X armor appearance
  • Kett Rank X armor appearance to Pathfinder Rank X armor appearance
  • N7 armor appearance to Initiative Rank I armor appearance
  • N7 Rank X armor appearance to Heleus Rank I armor appearance
  • N7 Rank X armor appearance to Initiative Rank I armor appearance
  • Outlaw Rank X armor appearance to Pathfinder Rank X armor appearance
  • Pathfinder to Pathfinder Rank III armor appearance
  • Remnant Rank X armor appearance to N7 Rank I armor appearance

To install the mods:

Simply download the ME:A Explorer found here and remember to overwrite the .dll in your game folder so the game will start with mods installed. Open the explorer, then click "Load FS" and select the game .exe in the your game folder. Then click on "Mod Manager", select "Mods" and either "Load List" or "Load Folder", depending on whether you have multiple mods you want to install or not. For the last step just click on "Run All" and you should be set!

Remember to back up your vanilla game before modding with the Recovery Tool by Wavebend.

A video on how to install mods can be found here, also courtesy of Wavebend!

If there are any problems, let me know! For the time being, I'm not doing any requests. For an in-depth tutorial by DeltaType90 check here.

Big thank you to Toloc for his tutorial on how to change the appearance of items.
