I'm afraid I won't. I refuse to support more than one version of each of my mods, as I already struggle with my current catalogue. I mod for a very specific ecosystem which is in synchronization with the latest version of the Unofficial LE2 Patch as well.
I assume your request comes because of some favorite mod of yours not supporting/having been updated for the Framework yet? Have you tried contacting their authors? Is there perhaps an alternative to be used?
Lastly, as a bandaid fix, for this mod only, you could safely install the Framework (so the Mod Manager does not complain), then Liara Consistency Mod and then remove/disable the Framework. Nothing will break in your game, simply no edits to Liara will be present during the prologue. This workaround is not something I recommend for any other mods as they may entirely depend on framework support.
The LE3 version is still a bit away from being done. It has several compatibility issues which are not my biggest priority to handle, but at the same time I don't want to release it half done. Moreover, the nude model version of Liara is proving to be annoying to make look good for the LE1 and LE2 looks. I don't want her to really look like body and head belong to different people ðŸ˜
So, hopefully you can keep being patient, but I will get it done. I swear.
Oh, I wish. I am releasing soonâ„¢ certain extra bits of the PV port; but this update was to integrate a check within all my Liara files and the mods I patch for, for a tiny mod I am hoping to be able to release soon. I am just waiting on another author to sort one last compatibility issue.
But rest assured, my old overhaul and MORE are on the way. Bigger and better!
Great mod! The definitive mod for Liara's consistency. I was also surprised at all the other mods you make that I use! Keep up the great work!
Currently going through the trilogy again , but I'm hanging out mostly in ME2 since I'm waiting for the ME3 version to come out of this mod before heading to it.

Thank you for all your hard work. I'm using almost all your mods and everything is extremely high quality. With options, compatibility patches, lots of thought, effort and dedication. Can't thank you enough for all your mods, LE wouldn't be the same without them ^^
Thank you so much for the kind feedback! Seeing someone recognize all the extra effort for ease of use for fans of my work really warms my heart. I hope my future work is also more stuff you can enjoy and lives up to my known quality standards 🤗
I didn't realize that this is treated like a DLC and not a texture mod. I have already started installing texture mods because I thought I was done with content mods. Will it mess anything up if I try to install this after I have already installed texture mods?
Yes, it is a DLC, because this mod needs to alter materials and meshes, not just textures. If you install over your textures, this mod will override some of your texture mods, wherever this mod is writing over.
Installing a DLC mod after textures is not recommended and will prevent you from installing more textures (MEM won't let you). There may be and may not be texture glitches by doing this. I personally do not recommend it, even if it won't lead to direct crashes like in the OT editions of the game. If you have not installed many textures and you have a backup, perhaps reverting back to vanilla all the modified files might help you out and be a fast method. Do know, that some basegame files may be edited by other mods and may need reinstalling if you follow this path.
Thanks for the quick response. I figured it was too late, but it's my own fault for not reading the entire description. Oh well, I guess I'll use this mod on my next playthrough. Thanks again.
If you use this mod plus a scar mod for your character, Liara also gets the scars. Not complaining, it is kinda of funny. It also took me countless play throughs to realize that the scars were not supposed to be there.
This sounds totally impossible. What scar mod? What version of Liara from this mod are you even using? Please share screenshots AND a mod manager diagnostic as explained on the attached gif:

After investigating and help from a fellow modder (because I was totally astonished at how this could be), we discovered the game is using the same hash for 2 normal textures (used by scars) which aren't supposed to be the same, even though both are blank normal maps. Since the hashes match, Mass Effect Modder ignores path and actual texture name and replaced both the scar texture and the placeholder normal map, which is being used by Liara and I wonder who else in the game.
We will address this on the next update to the Unofficial Patch, so in the future any scar mods don't affect Liara and whomever else might be getting unintended scars. Thank you so much for letting us know and my apologies for being skeptical at first (scars are human textures and Liara only uses the eye textures from humans, so it was like how is this possible!?)
Wow I didn't realize it was such a big deal, I just thought it was kinda of funny. Especially considering it took so long to even realize there was an issue.

Best day for this update would've been N7 Day!)
