I love this SO MUCH. This is one of those things where I idly thought "man it'd sure be cool if..." and stumbled upon your mod shortly after, by chance, and thought "OH THAT'S PERFECT." Works wonderfully, adds a ton of immersion, is one of those mods that changes something to "how it should have been from the start." Seeing Saren as a regular Turian at first, and later on fully tubed up and glowing declaring that he'd let himself be "augmented" or whatever--chef's kiss. Thank you!
Saren is definitely one of the most important and strongest points of ME story, but he doesn't have that much of a screen-time, so one could think this mod is nothing game-changing.
Wrong!
Been playing with robes + less implants version and I have to say the change is HUGE. I love Saren as a villain, but now, with his deepening indoctrination affecting him visually as well, he just reached even higher level of greatness. His change over the course of the game is even more impactful, it also makes some moments of the story more believable (him looking like a normal turian during a Council meeting, not rising any suspicions). Fantastic mod, a true must-have for anyone lookin’ for ways to make this wonderful game even better.
The load order is before diversification project, so only way to make compatible is to change that mod as far as I know.
I shared my files with that mod author and I recall them saying due to the sheer number of options and other things that mod covers only the base armor robes options are supported, meaning no less implants options.
My apologies mate, i went over to LE1 diversification page and read through the description and it explains the issue and how to resolve it, sorry for pinging you!
Been using this since it came out and I've never had any issues with it until my most recent playthrough. I'm seeing comments down below that suggest it might be because of LE1 Diversification Project, though I've used both in the past with no issues. Unfortunately, I had to go through a pretty extensive mod update regiment just before the playthrough I'm on and while the most recent update to LE1 Diversification Project was on that list, so were 32 other mods and I have no idea which one might actually be conflicting with it now.... Any advice would be most welcome.
Robed Saren's design is so awesome! I wish Andromeda gave us the option to play as any of the main races. I love the Turian's design and culture. Thank you for this Mod. Casey Hudson would love it!
So I made the mistake of choosing to get the robes and whatnot but keeping the default appearance as I assumed the default appearance was the new appearance you provided, but have already installed the texture mod LEUITM.
Can I safely change the appearance I selected without worrying about anything breaking? The Mod Manager does warn me if I try to reinstall the mod that the Texture Installer will no longer work for ME1.
I have a question. If you pick alternate armor/robes combo less implants does that mean he has the robe in the first scene than later switches to the combat armor? The intro video is a little confusing because it doesn't say in the video which option goes with what thing.
What is the difference between default less implants and the last choice?
The descriptions for these were in the installer itself. I have just added to the mod description for better understanding. ithink the explanations are pretty clear what each option does Default is my preference, vanilla style, and alternate combo which was user requested and then each of these has an option for less implants. See below:
You are probably using mods that have not been patched for the latest update and will thus revert the face back to pre update. I patched LE1 Diversification Project (face reverts during the council scene) and didn't use Saren Boss Encounters as it is incompatible with the new face (it only changes the body).
I actually never knew this design existed, but now that I found this it's a total must have on every playthrough. Great work! :D
I also hate to request things given you've already poured some great work into this, but if you're still updating this, would it be possible to make a compatibility patch for this to work with Less Revealing Benezia? I prefer how that mod's outfit looks for her and it seems your mod overrides it during the intro.

This is causing conflicts with the latest update for LE1 diversification project, any chance of a patch?

Help, my pc is on fire

Congrats again on the great modding work. :D
