About this mod

Adds a selection of modded armors for femshep to use in LE3.

Changelogs
This DLC mod adds a selection of modified armors for femshep in LE3. Because of the size of this mod all armors have been added to stores and you can pick and choose which armors you want to use in-game.

The mod includes:

  • Modified Cerberus Spirit Armor - four texture sets 
  • Modified Cerberus Ajax Armor - three versions + Update 2.0: N7 Ajax Armor
  • Kaidan's Armor for Femshep - two versions
  • Modified Cerberus Assault Armor - one version, based on maleshep's mesh
  • Bulkier edition of Miranda's Alt Appearance Armor from LE2 - three versions + Update 2.0: Alliance Assault Armor
  • Maleshep's Cerberus Spirit Armor for Femshep - two versions + Update 2.0: Spectre and N7 Slayer Armors

Update 2.0 New Armors:

  • Modified version of Ashley's B armor, with a remade chestplate - three versions
  • Modified version of Ashley's default suit (both regular size and larger) - two versions
  • Modified version of Tela Vasir's spectre armor - 2 models and 5 retextures
  • Modified Asari Commando Suit - this and the one above were something I made with another type of mod in mind but might as well put them here now.

Update 2.0 Bonus Armors:

  • Modified Ajax Armor (mshep port with really beefy arms - if it's too much the original model is always there)
  • + same Ajax Armor without the shoulder guards 
  • Modified Mshep Cerberus Spirit Armor (beefier than my original model)
  • Modified Miranda's Armor (beefier than the original + has larger arms)

These armors were originally made for my own custom femshep (not pictured here) who is much larger and taller than vanilla femshep can ever be; I've scaled and slimmed them down somewhat but they're still quite big so I chose not to replace the old models.

Headgear:

  • Jack's Breather (tintable)
  • Ashley's Breather (both regular + tintable version) - You'll need to buy Ashley's blue armor to unlock the regular version.
  • Anderson's mic (not tintable)
  • Tintable LE1 helmets for Vasir's armor - three versions - You'll need to buy Vasir's original Blue Spectre Armor to unlock these.
  • Certain armors also come with separate helmets/headgear, these unlock along with the specific armor. 
  • Buying several similar Ajax armors will unlock duplicate helmets for some of them; this is currently intentional since I didn't want to force anyone to buy a specific model just to get the matching helmet.

You can buy:

  • Spectre gear from Spectre Requisitions
  • N7 and Alliance gear from Kassa Fabrication
  • Cerberus gear from Elkoss Combine Arsenal Supplies

This mod also comes with empty arm, shoulder, and leg parts, with a weak health bonus on each. These parts are necessary because all my armors get added in as torso pieces, but if you'd prefer to use other mods that add empty parts with better bonuses (or for any other reason) I've included an option to remove those parts from this mod. 

Installation

Use ME3Tweaks Mod Manager to install. Drag and drop the zip file to the manager and install (or import, then apply mod). 

Uninstallation

in Mod Manager, choose "Manage Target" for LE3 and disable or delete the mod.

Compatibility

Should be compatible with all mods.

Known Issues

  • Armors from Update 2.0 have random copied power bonuses; I might fix them some day (or might not :--) ).
  • Some vanilla helmets will not fit certain armors. This mod has two breather models as alternative options. 
  • The LE1 helmet only fits Vasir's armor.
  • The breather helmet straps will not fit default femshep's head perfectly. This should only be a problem if she's been modded bald. The headmorph mod version of her head does not have this issue.
  • Larger version of the Ajax Armor might have some weighting issues with the hands.
  • All armors added in the update 2.0 are still WIPs so there might be some issues with them. I still wanted to add them because most of the original gear in this mod was made a year ago and I've gotten a little bit better at mesh modding since then :'^)
  • The L variants of each armor set are notably larger than fshep's vanilla gear is; not recommended for fsheps with really small heads. 

Future Plans

  • I'll be adding some of the new armors to my other mods as well as soon as I have some time again (excluding Ashley's breather since ESA already includes it for LE2).
