About this mod

21 new hairstyles for Male Shep ported by Girlplaysgame to ME3 and originally ported to Skyrim by Kalilies and Stealthic.

Requirements
Permissions and credits
Important

This DLC MOD needs to add a new TFC file,  Textures_DLC_MOD_MSHEPHAIR.tfc, in the \BioGame\CookedPCConsole directory.
Unfortunately, I haven't found a better solution for loading the textures in LE1.
But it's safe and don't alter any other textures of the game.


1. Installation with ME3Tweaks Mod Manager

Drag and drop the .7z file into the Mod Manager and "Apply Mod".

2. Change the Hair Mesh with Trilogy Save Editor

Click on Open to load your save.
Click on to Head Morph tab and under Raw you will see Hair Mesh. Paste the code in the field and save.

Note: 
For the screenshots, I used the crew cut hairstyle (quicker to do ^^)
For long hairstyles I recommend to use bald but you can try with other basic hairstyles.

Hairstyles Textures Parameters for Mshep can be found here.
Thanks so much to Spectren for sharing this link <3.

How to change Texture Parameters with Trilogy Save Editor
Example for Crew Cut :


Hair color can be changed in Vector Parameters > Hed_Hair_Colour_Vector 



Note:
You can look at the "color comparisons" pictures for more information on color management.

3. Un-Installation with ME3Tweaks Mod Manager

Go in Manage Target and "Delete" the mod

Important : You will have to manually delete the TCF file Textures_DLC_MOD_MSHEPHAIR.tfc in your BioGame\CookedPCConsole directory.

Known issues

On some hairstyles there are still parts of slightly runny textures. I didn't find a way to fix it
Nicholas has a small transparency on the top of the head. I tried to fix it but the sources (that comes from 3DS Max) are corrupted in my Blender.
For Adonis I recommend to use crew cut base because we can see a little part of the scalp to the top that can't be fixed.
1. Some hairstyles don't fit very well. I'm working to improve them.
2. Some textures have transparencies. I'm trying to find a solution.

Faq

You've never installed a Mod?
Look at the installation procedure of the Mod ME2LE One Probe All Resources (which is a great Mod!)
