    since these replace specific textures that only appear in specific files and nowhere else, it should be safe to install content mods after installing this, right? if not, would it be too much to ask for an uninstaller mem file to restore the original textures?

      An 'uninstaller' MEM file doesn't actually uninstall anything. It might look like a restoration on the surface but under the hood, the textures are still being redirected to a new TFC and the pointers changed within the package.

      oh so, there's still a risk of screwing up the game files if we don't restore the game prior to installing new mods if we have moded textures in place?

      Yes. It’s the cardinal rule of ME trilogy modding

      thank you! is there a way to know beforehand what files will be affected by an MEM mod so we can do a targeted restoration instead of a full one?

      There’s no easy way to find that out I’m afraid. You can restore individually modified basegame files with mod manager if you have a linked backup, but since textures install to DLC files as well there’s no simple way of uninstalling texture mods. You just have to bite the bullet and restore.

      oh that's right! DLC mods might be using those same resources. good point. guess there really is no easy way about it. thank you for being patient with explaining though :)

    I'm astonished by the vanilla images. How dreadful!
    Thanks for making such great improvement.
    Will this be included in ALOT in its next update?

      Thanks! And yeah they should be in the next ALOT update (the vanilla friendly version anyway). Don’t know when that will be though.

    Strange, MEM crash when I try to put that one. :/

    EDIT: nevermind, its was because it was an old version of MEM, my bad.

    Awesome work. I hope we can get the same thing for the service history at the beginning which sadly also used the vanilla images :(.

    The thing about the originals is they had a surreal look to them that made them feel like an actual flashback. The images might not be doing them justice but the new versions just look like screenshots without any additional effects on them. Is that how they actually appear in-game?

    Regardless, they're a big improvement from the originals and I'll gladly download this. Thanks heaps for the upload. :D

      Oh don’t worry, I just uploaded the raw screenshots to the images section. The in-game effects like the vignette and film grain are still properly applied but I see what you’re saying. It would be better to judge them by how the effects get applied, so I’ll update the images when I get a sec.

      EDIT: I've replaced the Pressly images with a preview with the in-game shaders applied.

    Yeah, this is the first thing I paid attention to when I arrived at the crash site. It's very strange that the developers left images from the original game. So thanks for this mod!

      I can't believe they left the old images from the Xbox360 lol. Thanks for updating! I still haven't played LE yet. I'm still downloading all the mods that get released so I won't be behind when I start playing it.

      Yeah it’s really bizarre. Makes me wonder how much they actually playtested stuff outside of the main story because these aren’t exactly hard to miss if you do the mission.

    Literally a must have mod. Only thing to improve is to make them look more dream-like
