I know this goes against the official recs, but is it possible at all? Has anyone tried it? How badly does it break things? I'm not in the middle of a playthrough so it wouldn't be AWFUL if it broke my game, but I wanted to try messing with some meshes etc. and would rather not have to redo the whole clean install plus ALOT/ALOV installation process again if there's any way to avoid it!

I don't really see how swapping out one mesh could break things that badly, but I'm probably wrong!

I've tried it

and all I can say is...sorry you can't
just recently I screwed up an install (been a while since I installed mods for ME3 :pinched:

) by trying to install ALOT after doing an AutoTC with ME3explorer...it did not like that :why:

I think it just depends on the things you want to change
things like major gameplay overhauls (like Recalibrated) should be installed before ALOT/ALOV
not to sure about model mesh changing...have to admit I haven't really tried that kind of thing :-/

all I can recommend is carefully reading the mod pages of the ones you wish to install, and perhaps ask some more questions on the specific mod page
