Light texture obtained from SerjRozov. Includes patch for Mistyvail's AUC, Catchrism's Saren Stages, and Lunk's Saren Boss Encounters.

Overview
This mod was inspired by Mistyvail's Alliance Uniform Consistency. It replaces the models of the Alliance Marines encountered throughout the game with the armor seen in LE3. After some input from other mod authors, I have created a few options for install:
1. Default - This is installed automatically if no options are selected in install. It will only affect the marines on the Normandy. Three of the marines on both the Command Deck and Virmire will wear helmets derived from Audemus and Mellin's ME3 N7 Armor mod. The fourth marine wears a beret from LE3.
2. Visors - Upon input from Tydeous, this option is available as a hybrid between the LE3 and LE1 appearances, the marines will wear the LE3 armor but retain their LE1 headgear with the exception of the marine on Virmire with the headset. I kept him in a helmet because he subsequently joins you in combat to protect the bomb (and usually gets promptly curb stomped by a Geth Prime).
3. AUC Patch - Available for both the Default and Visor install options, this makes the mod compatible with Mistyvail's Alliance Uniform Consistency.
4.
Saren Stages Patch - Available for both the Default and Visor install options, this makes the mod compatible with Catchrism's Saren Stages LE1.
5.Saren Boss Encounters Patch - Available for both the Default and Visor install options, this makes the mod compatible with Lunk's Saren Boss Encounters. (Options to patch this and Saren Stages also included)
6.
Kahoku's Marines -This is an optional add-on that transforms the appearances of the corpses of Kahoku's marines on Edolus to the "dirty" look of the LE3 marines seen prominently during Priority: Earth to make it somewhat consistent from being mauled by a Thresher Maw.
7.
Nepmos Marines - Three options are available after input from Audemus for the marines encountered on Nepmos fighting Rachni. The default keeps their vanilla appearance. The standard gives them the same armor as seen on the Normandy, including the female armor designed by Mellin. The Frontier option is a palette swap of the standard armor to better fit into the terrain of Nepmos in which you encounter them.

The marines on the Normandy are also now carrying a standard assault rifle/pistol loadout because I always found it weird that they spend the game after the prologue guarding the Command Deck unarmed.
