update: i'm no longer maintaining this mod, as i mostly created it for personal use and i haven't played andromeda in quite a while. i'm leaving it up as is, but no new files will be added and i am not taking requests.
Hey there
I wanted a mod that swapped the Initiative Shearpoint chestpiece with the Recon model, but I couldn't find one anywhere, so I decided to (figuratively) get off my ass and learn how to do it myself. Then I got carried away and also messed around with the some other chests and a few helmets (the antennas on some of the higher tiers drove me nuts). Figured I'd share them, in case anyone else was interested.
The files:
Initiative Chest Swap: replaces ranks 5-10 of the Initiative chestpiece with the the rank 3 model
Initiative Helmet Redux: replaces ranks 3-10 of the Initiative helmet with the rank 1 model
Pathfinder Chest Swap: replaces ranks 3-10 of the Pathfinder chestpiece with the rank 1 model
Pathfinder Helmet Redux: replaces ranks 3-10 of the Pathfinder helmet with the rank 1 model
Kett Chest Swap: replaces rank 10 of the Kett chestpiece with the rank 3 model
Remnant Chest Swap: replaces rank 10 of the Remnant chestpiece with the rank 3 model
N7 to Pathfinder: replaces full N7 set with Pathfinder rank 1 models
All the files work together, so you can mix and match to your liking, and I think they should be compatible with mods that only alter the arms or legs. Dunno about full set replacers (maybe if you fiddle with your load order).
Also, please note that back mounted weapons (shotguns + assault and sniper rifles) look a little floaty when most of the chest replacers are used. It's not hugely noticeable, but does look a little odd at certain angles. I have no idea how to fix it/if it can be fixed, so I'm sorry if it bothers you.
(if there is any interest in full replacers for the Kett/Remnant chests, let me know. Only needed rank 10 myself but I can whip up some files for the rest if anyone wants them)

Little Update
I've seen some requests for stuff in the comments, and while I'm happy to help, I figured I may as well share the tutorial I learnt from, in case there people get tired of waiting for me to get around to making stuff. You can find the tutorial here. I imagine there's an easier way to do it now the Frosty Tools are out but I don't know it (if an actually skilled modder comes across this page and feels like enlightening me, please do lol).
Furthermore, someone asked me if it was possible to do the same thing with weapons as I did with armor, and I messed around a bit and I got it to work for at least one weapon. I imagine it'll work for other models as well, as long as you don't try and swap a pistol with a sniper rifle. I've uploaded the tutorial I wrote for that as a download, should anyone want to have a look.
