This is a ambitious mod i wanted to make a while as it was inspired by Shepard's visor in LE2's prologue, the Legenedary Edition Launcher opening,Ashley's visor in Beta ME1 as well as Andromeda's helmet visors. It's a mod that just dims Shepard's default helmet and squadmates' who have a default seethrough visor on both the non breather and breather to black. I believe it gives off that special ops robocop scifi look and to players who want their Shepards to somewhat remain anonymous.

ME1 Compatability:
As this was a personal mod at first the mount number is crazy high which means if you have any other mods with Male.Player or Female.Player.Pcc its going to overwrite it and those mods won't show  it has patches for most used mods such as AUC and UN7 so if you didn't change your casuals in AUC use the "NONE" Option on both if you want to patch it in your mod please ask and link my mod link and name in description

SPECIAL TIP: in the thumbnail it has Garrus with the visor.that is because he is wearing a TURIAN HEAVY ARMOR  which is what most Turian Npcs wear especially on uncharted worlds and its the ONLY VANILLA turian armor with a seethrough visor. As Garrus is an Infiltrator he "can't" wear it UNLESS you use a save editor. turian heavy armor won't appear however because Bioware didn't make a version with that name so you'll have to use either Human or Krogan armor(Don't worry it won't break)on Garrus or use console commands(make sure its either HumanH or KroganH as TurianH will not work)

ME2/3 Compatability: should be no issues unless you directly overwrite BIOG_HMM_HGR_SHP_R, BIOG_HMF_HGR_SHP in Biogame or Ashley,Kaidan and James 00 and 01.pccs OR if you install a mod with a higher mount number that edits Shepard's default breather or the squadmates.






2.0 I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO FIX THE BUGS LISTED BELOW AS WELL  AS MAKE A SQUADMATE AND BREATHER ONLY OPTIONS DUE TO USER FEEDBACK.

Bugs noticed while making the mod(THIS HAS BEEN RESOLVED IN 2.0 BUT LEAVING IT ON HERE FOR REFERENCE TO LOOK BACK)

1.Due to how the first game handles materials and effects the visor will dissapear completely when using biotics or as soon as the biotic purple glow comes,and certain special effects like damping happens. there is unfortunately no fix for this. so don't expect to use photomode using biotics with the visor. the sequels don't have this issue however so feel free to do that.(Finally..Fixed)

2.In all the games the visor is only one sided in the front when using the nonbreather version in the picture stated https://ibb.co/CmBJ6vgive. there could be a fix for this if implentented and trial and error is in effect.(Fixed)

3.Not really a bug but since both the headgear and the breather share one visor parameter on all the games that means that one can't be seethrough and the other opaque.(Fixed BUT THERES OPTIONS ONLY FOR ME2 & 3. IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME1)

Thanks to the ME3Tweaks Team for Legendary Explorer in which i couldn't have done this with!
Contains Visor Clipping Fix Integrated for Male Shepard(Otherwise that black visor will drool all over his helmet lol)  by @Oakstar519  as well as a Universal N7 Armor patch(however this doesn't contain rngdshep's patch  so you won't be able to select the leather jacket or new casuals for Femshep)

and @Mistyvail for allowing a Alliance Uniform Consistency,Additional Breather Masks and Classic Armors LE2/3 patch. This mod also comes with a ME3 N7 Armor for LE1 as well as Liara's New Armor for LE2/3(IMPORTANT LIARAS NEW ARMOR HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM LE2 TEMPORARILY AND WILL BE ADDED BACK IN THE NEXT UPDATE SOON)


If you want to make a patch please drop a message. i probably won't be able to make patches for all the mods that use male and female player pccs.
