IVAP is compatible with ESA and will be auto-patched upon installation. You must install IVAP after ESA so it detects the need for the patch. If you don't, you will see duplicate "none" and "no helmet" pieces which was the only incompatibility.
Also 1.50 removes the clean up option. It was outdated as people changed their mods and I can't check every mod again. Sorry if you used this feature.
Sorry to ask, but is this still compatible with ESA? Because the description of that mod claims you can't use both mods, so maybe ESA was updated and the mods are no longer compatible?
The mods are compatible except for one thing: they both add invisible parts with no bonuses so there would be duplicates in your locker. The author of ESA, who didn't even want this mod to exist... for reasons, made his mod incompatible with mine so you can't install it if ESA is already installed.
There was no good reason for it so I added an option that removed the duplicate parts if ESA is installed and was then reported for "illegally patching a mod" or something by the author but I was found not guilty in the Nexus High Courts or whatever because I only changed my mod and as it stands you can only install this mod if you install it after ESA, not the other way around because I didn't make my mod incompatible upon installation.
I have no idea if the duplication fix still works or not. ESA might have been updated to be even more incompatible for all I know and I'm not inclined to go digging through the files of a mod I don't use by an author with some deranged vendetta against me.
I know it's not cool to air modding drama in public but trying to cockblock my mod was a dick move and the incompatibility line is bullshit. If you want to use both mods, install mine after, try it out, if nothing breaks, you're good. If something breaks, then I guess you will have to choose ¯\_(?)_/¯
I know its been ages since this mod was updated but, is there any possibility you will release that 'Spectre Light Combat Suit' pictured in your screenshots? Its so cool
I'm looking to get back into MELE modding again so maybe but it's not just a case of releasing the mod. It's part of my own personal armour pack I created for myself for LE2 and 3, which contain a lot of crap not ready for release so I need to remake it as a standalone. No promises.
I totally understand that, and thank you for replying! I do hope you come back to LE modding as you've made some really fantastic stuff, I'd be absolutely thrilled if you do end up releasing the Spectre suit as its just perfect, but either way, look forward to seeing your mods again if you do get back into it ^^
Definitely fine to install mid save and I'm 99.9% certain it's safe to uninstall even if you have the pieces equipped. Your save file only contains the ID numbers of the armour pieces you are wearing. When you load the game and those IDs don't reference anything because the mod isn't there, your character will default to ID 1 in those slots, which is the default N7 armour. This has always been the case for me loading up old modded saves without the armour mods installed. This isn't the case for modded hair and character textures. In those cases you need to edit your save file manually to something that still exists in the game.
Nice work on the mod. Is the purpose of making full-body armours as torso pieces (rather than, well, full-body armours) so that players can still get benefits from other armour pieces? Or is it because adding full-body armours to LE2 hasn't been figured out yet?
Thought I'd already replied to this, sorry. Adding full body armours makes the game think you have a helmet on even if tell the game you don't and so you always sound like you're speaking over the radio.
I was adding a full body armor without a helmet to LE2, and even though I added the hasbreather=false, it still modulated the voice, so I ended up making it a cheastpiece instead which meant that the arm and leg pieces got added on top of the armor - so this mod is a godsend for me - thanks:)

Also off-topic, but adding a +1 that I would love to see your male Shepard released in the future.
