UPDATED ALL MAIN FILES for latest Frosty Mod Manager version 1.0.5.9, the latest version we got. Addon files no need to be updated, they should work fine because you have to install them along with the main files or they won't work.
All should be working now as intented without infinite loading on the loadout and such, bear in mind fix mods for some scenes still needed to be installed AND REMEMBER TO INSTALL ONLY ONE MAIN FILE IF THE RAR HAS MULTIPLE OPTIONS AS OTHER HAIR COLORS FOR CORA OR IN LIAM CASE, ALL BRACERS VERSIONS.
All should work fine till we get a new Frosty Version, with a new version mods will get broken again, I'm afraid.
* I suggest to not load autosaves for any of my armor mods, sometimes they won't work and will make the game crash while loading a manual save in the same place will work fine, that's the beautiful world of bundle editing in frosty engine and I can do nothing about it :/ .
* Do not pay attention to the "Conflict tab" saying my mods are conflicting between each other, it means nothing for my mods, in fact they work that way.
Sorry it get too long to get updated, but now enjoy !!.
Mod is broken again because new Frosty version -_- , bear in mind that every time a new Frosty is released this mod is likely to be broken so I have to update like 50 files again and that's not fun, be patient
My apologies for the wait, my mods getting broken with updates of the tool discouraged me, it wasn't only something to do with the loadout images, it was all completely broken because when I did them it involved some hex editing manually on the files so new versions didn't recognize some paths. To summarize, I had to rebuild all from scratch and when you have like 50 files to edit that's crazy. I hope it won't get broken again.
All main files are updated for the latest version of the mod manager, all should work as intended without getting infinite loading screen on the loadout and such ( you still have to install the fixes for some scenes, that's something we can't fix because it seems that mesh importing will never come )
Thanks for your understanding and happy modding .
- I only updated Main files because they are the core of the mod, addon files should be working fine.
Always read the sticky below because it has all information you need to know about the mods to make them work properly, thank you.
THE MOD APPARENTLY DOESN'T WORK WITH NEW VERSION OF MOD MANAGER 1.04 AND ABOVE, IT BREAKS THE MOD, USING VERSION 1.0.3 FIX THIS!!. THE MOD WAS WORKING JUST FINE BEFORE THE NEW VERSION. THANKS ENCRYPT FOR CHECK IT
- Due Mass Effect Modding being a pain in the ass to mod for npcs and such because the stupid bundles that makes everything even worse and now it seems new versions of the Frosty Mod Manager breaks old mods I'm putting myself on ice on modding MEA. Jaal Armor mod was almost done so it will be the last mod I'm going to release for now till mesh import but it will have to wait a little more. -
Read this before installation it summarizes how it works:
Cora Armor Packs with Hair Bangs Cora, Bangs Jayde and Default Hair should be working fine in all the game without freezes and crashes.
Cora Asari Full Armor Addon with Hair Bangs Cora, Bangs Jayde and Default Hair should be working fine in all the game without freezes and crashes.
Liam Armor Packs with Hair Corn Rows, Default Hair and Tiny Afro should be working fine in all the game without freezes and crashes with an exception on Drack's Loyalty mission, if you bring Liam with you to this mission, when the loyalty mission ends it makes the transition to Elaaden with infinite loading, simply when that happens do alt+f4, uninstall the mod, do the transition to Elaaden again and install it again.
Cora Armor Packs, Addons and all files with the Ponytail in all its variants makes the game crash on your first visit to the Nexus for the first time when you meet all the people there, install the Ponytail fix for this scene and then uninstall or she will have clipping on the hair. For some people it crashes on the squad selection too but it's very random, the Ponytail Fix could fix this too, but Cora will have some clipping with the hair, bear that in mind.
Liam Armor Packs with the Cap makes the game crash at the start of the game on the hangar bay and the shuttle when you go to Habitat 7, install the Cap fix for these scenes, uninstall later or it will make you game freeze on the squad skills selection.
DO NOT load the autosave on the locker room at the start of the game with any of the files with the Ponytail for Cora or it will make your game crash
v1.3 is now up ( ONLY LIAM) : - Fixed the freezes and crashes on squad selection middle game using Liam armor mod, it should work fine in all the game now. - Fixed the crash on the hangar bay and the shuttle at the start of the game before Habitat 7 (if you use the cap version this still happens but I did a separated fix for this scene).
v1.2 is now up:
- Fixed a bug that could make the underarmor from Cora and Liam appear on Ryder. - Custom Scott skin now looks correct using his Athletic Outfit if you use the athletic outfit mod for Liam (Default Scott skin still looking wrong in every outfit, can't fix it yet). - Added icons for Liam and Cora to match their new armor on the loadout and their faces are now correct (one thing that bothered me on the loadout was seeing their faces looking wrong on the squadmate selection).
v1.0.5.7 is now up (Matching its frosty mod manager version): - Mod got broken with latest Frosty Mod Manager versions, now all should work as intended without getting infinite loading screen on the loadout and such.
Packs New Armor (on Main Files)
*As requested I did the same for Liam As a preference I kept his originall jetpack and bracers for the new armor, I think it looks good and he is still Liam .
- Packs that changes all at the same time, their hair, their casual outfit and their armor. ( I uploaded all the colors for Bangs Cora and Bangs Jayde Hairstyle in one file because there are so many files and the files section will be all flooded with each file, so better together and pick your color inside ). - Liam files comes with two versions: bracers and no bracers from his armor for his casual outfit (I think this is obvious to say but the Athletic Outfit requires Deluxe edition, just in case ) - Liam Athletic outfit files are high on size because all the custom textures.
Complexions, One Hairstyle and Fixes (On Optional Files)
CORA:
This is simply the same HR retexture I did for my Ryder adjusted for Cora by request, face texture is 2048x2048 and it makes wrinkles less pronounced and smooth skin.
- Two versions: Black and Blonde brows.
LIAM:
- My texture that removes Liam's stubble with a shaved look and makes his skin smoother with better res than the default.
- Shaved Hairstyle (THIS HAIRSTYLE IS ON OPTIONAL FILES and not in MISCELLANEOUS because it's different from the others, have that in mind), it removes Liam's default hair and gives him a shaved look hairstyle using his scalp texture SIMPLY using a separated file from his preset file where his hair and outfit are located together. So that means this file is only for the hairstyle, with this hairstyle it's possible unlike the other files from MISCELLANEOUS.
Hairstyles (On Miscellaneous Files)
Hairstyles alone files almost all for CORA, one for LIAM:
As requested, the hair mashups I did for Ryder adjusted for Cora. All is fixed to match her hair color, however this is not perfect because it's a mix from some hairstyles, so expect some clipping till we can edit meshes.
**Moved the HAIRSTYLES to Miscellaneous, HAIRSTYLE files under MISCELLANEOUS are standalone, these files only change their hair with their default casual outfit and default armor. NOT COMPATIBLE with my PACK for the NEW ARMOR. The files for their casual outfit, hair and armor are the same so you have to change everything and do a mod alone if you want to change all at the same time.
- 4 new Hairstyles (bangs Jayde, bangs Cora, Large Ponytail, Large Ponytail bangs Jayde) PICK ONLY ONE and ONLY PICK the Hairstyles on Miscellaneous if you only want to change her hair and nothing more. These files only comes with her default casual outfit and armor.
*If you are using my other mod for add this hair to Ryder, load Ryder Mod up first on the list or Cora will have messed up hair color. * NOT COMPATIBLE WITH OTHER MODS THAT CHANGE HER OUTFIT, because she uses the same file for outfits and hair. *NOT COMPATIBLE WITH MODS THAT CHANGE CORA'S HAIR COLOR
Eye Colors (On Miscellaneous)
Only for CORA:
- Five colors: Blue, Brown, Green, Light Green and Violet ( You can use any eye texture you want along with this, this is only a tint, not a texture)
Issues
CORA:
- There is a bug with the Ponytail (whatever file uses the ponytail) the game crashes in the scene when you going to the Nexus for the first time after Habitat 7 (the scene where the Nexus it's all dark and empty where you meet Addison and the others for the first time) See the Bugs section for more info, I'm working on a fix.
I uploaded a file to fix this under Optional Files, make sure you load it after the main file (works with the armor packs and the hairstyle alone) when you are going to do this scene and uninstall it when ends or the ponytail will have some clipping the rest of the game. This is the only fix I can do for now, a separately file because I can't integrate it on the main file because it's more complicated than that for now till we can edit bundles. I will upload a video for it when I can, enjoy.
- There is a weird shadow glitch on Cora's hair back if you are using the Bangs Cora and Bangs Jayde hairstyle (see the users images for it), you can fix this putting your Mesh Setting at least on High, it will dissapear. I can't fix it for Medium and Low Mesh settings till we can edit meshes because it's a problem from the Mesh.
- The game will crash if you load the autosave from the locker room at the start of the game with the ponytail, otherwise it will work fine, do not load this autosave manually.
- The Asari Underarmor has some clipping on the neck, it's something we can't fix till we can edit meshes
- Bear in mind that custom outfits and hairs needs more time to load on the Tempest so in some scenes they will appear invisible for 1 or 2 seconds if it's a scene that appeared first before being on the Tempest (like the scene after Cora's loyalty mission and the scene when you come back to the Tempest before Meridian). This is something that can't be fixed, the game needs more time to find their bundles because they are on a different bundle and not on the tempest bundle.
LIAM:
- Expect some clipping on the armor, this is inevitable as always and normal right now.
- NOT COMPATIBLE with mods that makes Liam original armor wearable for Ryder.
- If you play as default Scott and use the Athletic outfit mod for Liam your skin will look wrong.
- There is a bug with the Cap (whatever file uses the Cap) the game crashes in the scene with the hangar bay and the shuttle when you go to Habitat 7 at the start of the game (I uploaded a fix for this under Optional Files as I did for the Ponytail for Cora).
- Bear in mind that custom outfits and hairs needs more time to load on the Tempest so in some scenes they will appear invisible for 1 or 2 seconds if it's a scene that appeared first before being on the Tempest (like the scene after Cora's loyalty mission and the scene when you come back to the Tempest before Meridian). This is something that can't be fixed, the game needs more time to find their bundles because they are on a different bundle and not on the tempest bundle.

And if you want to upload some pics please, feel free to do it.
I just wanted to say thanks for the mod as I will be using it when I get around to the modding (after first playthrough). I just wanted to ask additionally of the author, if it hasn't already been done, is there a way to "fix" Cora sticking her neck out at crazy angles like she has a back disease (bad animation I'm guessing, not intended to be a back disease by the game makers). And if there was a way to make a Cora that is just her normal version with neck fixed, or perhaps a just slightly boosted normal version of her normal face with neck fixed? Seems like this might be the best fix just for base game, though your new char is right nice.
it's a long shot to think you're still maintaining this mod, but if you are, is there a chance that you can change Cora's armor to anything darker? You've done the best head swap mod for Cora, but there's too many white outfit in this game for my taste.
This stopped working for me after a while. Downloaded this https://github.com/Dyvinia/DatapathFixPlugin Exactly followed the instructions and works like a charm
Idk if this is still being monitored, but would it be possible to get under armor for Liam casual outfit? He’s the only one not in armor on the ship with what I’ve got. If anyone sees this and has recs for this, I’d appreciate them
I am not sure what is going on, but cannot seem to get any versions of this mod to work, Cora has not changed eyes, armor, or hair. I am now to the point in my game where I just got to EOS but she is still defaults. I am using Frosty Mod Manager 1.0.5.9 and have game through EA app. Any help would be appreciated.
THIS, ithelped me fix it too! I'm playing through steam/ea app. Thank you so much for posting your solve, i was so lost why it didn't work. You're a hero! A kudo for you :D
NOT WORKING: Same - using Frosty Manager 1.0.5.9 and through EA App... ran it with mods activated as FrostyFix says... closed it, then tried to run FrostyFix. It launches EA App but doesn't launch the game... and when I try to launch the game through EA the mods aren't working.
This is one of my favorite mods on here. It works great and looks really, really good, for both Cora and Liam, and there are a bunch of different options to choose from. The files section can be a little intimidating, but it's well organized -- make sure to read the titles, they explain what goes with what.
I'm using: - New Cora Armor - Asari Underarmor as Casual Outfit and Default Hair (Use default hair if you want to use another mod to change Cora's hair) - Asari Full Armor for Cora Addon Request - BANGS CORA - BANGS JAYDE - LARGE PONYTAIL - LARGE PONYTAIL BANGS - DEFAULT HAIR (Contains all of the options, so make sure to match this one with the first armor's hairstyle) - EYECOLOR CORA Green (Located at the bottom of the files page, works great with the Bigger Eyes mod)
open up the archive take out the files, put it on your desktop or wherever u like, then install those to frosty. This message of mine must be outdated because I know the mod author updated the folder because I am able to install without having to do this, if you play dragon age you will have to do what I had expalined.
Hi looks like a great mode but I'm having some troubles with it.
TBH I'm not sure if it is your mod making trouble but here is what's happening:
I installed Cora Large Ponytail Blonde and Liam Cap athletic outfit files of your mod. Then I launched the game and game is now crashing whenever I try to load a save. So I thought np new files don't agree with my save and uninstalled them and deleted Frosty cache to boot. But the problem persists I can't load any saves (including manual ones) and practically my play through is gone. No other changes was made between my last game play and adding your mods.
So any ideas what maybe causing this and/or how to fix it?

EDIT: Scroll down and look for FrostyFix!! It's because of the switch from Origin to EA Launcher
EDIT: Still couldn't get it to work.. FrostyFix doesn't launch the game?
Does anyone have any instructions on how to get this to work?
EEDIIIITT:::
Screw FrostyFix! It's not needed. Frosty Mod Manage: 1.0.6.1 go to Tools -> Options -> Launch Options -> [x] Platform Launching Enabled -> Platform "EA Desktop"
Works flawlessly!
What am I doing wrong?
I'm using:
- New Cora Armor - Asari Underarmor as Casual Outfit and Default Hair (Use default hair if you want to use another mod to change Cora's hair)
- Asari Full Armor for Cora Addon Request - BANGS CORA - BANGS JAYDE - LARGE PONYTAIL - LARGE PONYTAIL BANGS - DEFAULT HAIR (Contains all of the options, so make sure to match this one with the first armor's hairstyle)
- EYECOLOR CORA Green (Located at the bottom of the files page, works great with the Bigger Eyes mod)
Thank you For the Mod
Can You Split Just Liam cap mod?
thank you again
TBH I'm not sure if it is your mod making trouble but here is what's happening:
I installed Cora Large Ponytail Blonde and Liam Cap athletic outfit files of your mod. Then I launched the game and game is now crashing whenever I try to load a save. So I thought np new files don't agree with my save and uninstalled them and deleted Frosty cache to boot. But the problem persists I can't load any saves (including manual ones) and practically my play through is gone. No other changes was made between my last game play and adding your mods.
So any ideas what maybe causing this and/or how to fix it?
