Started up a new game last night after taking a break for a while, tried to recreate the character I had during the Ea Access thing. She ended up looking a little better imo, instead of just being a clone of the original. Original New

The modded stuff looks nice - but it sounds so terrible complicated to use it. Especially if you aren't a native english speaker ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/6576594/images/CeRUIfXurYhaBmWjMBkt.png) So I guess I stuck with what I have before my game says g'bye ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/6576594/images/CeRUIfXurYhaBmWjMBkt.png)

I think we need some clever (or patient person) to create a library of images of each preset with Sara and Cora's textures, so we can work out exactly what texture goes best with each preset. Amirit's looks good but there are some issues/lines around the mouth that would put me off from using that particular combo

Thank goodness for existence of smart modders - our saviors! What you see is Preset 8 - but with Default Sara skin texture. If you ever wanted to modify default Sara - here is your chance! ![](https://i.imgur.com/lNgtbp4.jpg) ![](https://i.imgur.com/BQo9g6J.jpg) ![](https://i.imgur.com/efEYroA.jpg) wow, and preset 8 looks totally different. This is the Sara mod, using her skin? Would you please post the numbers, sliders you used? Specifically the eyecolor? I can never get Sara's eyes that shade. Wow, finally can get this look!

Sliders - yes, but eye color I'm afraid not - this Sara did not go to Archive, and I did not save that number. The general idea is to go to blue specter (closer to light blue) and use grey part of it - darker for outer- and lighter for inner circle. And sliders are here: Sliders: Skin: 0.2 Brow: 6, 14 Cheek: 8, 7, 16 Chin: 14, 19, 5, 5 Eyes: 8, 12, 8 Mouth: 14, 20, 2, 8 Nose: 12, 8, 8, 6 But you would need both mods (Default Sara's skin for presets (number 8 in this case) and Character Creation - Pale Skin Unlocked) or manually replace skin texture as Fialka explained in here ). Good luck!

I am playing ME:A on my PS4 because my computer wouldn't be able the handle it, but I'm happy it at least has screenshot capability and I'm able to transfer the images to a flash drive! My first Ryder, River. I didn't read any spoilers for ME: A and avoided these forums like the plague, but now I'm back after completing the game! My friend told me about having a twin in the game and that your last name is Ryder, but beyond that I was in the dark (except knowing that it was in Andromeda). So, this was a purely a vanilla playthrough. I wanted her to have a sci-fi look, and things got kind of weird towards the end because I hit the ![<3](//storage.proboards.com/6576594/images/bYmUqWGYNIhNE0GJanhP.png) button for everyone, every time it popped up. ![](http://i.imgur.com/wU5LHte.jpg) I started NG+ and named my second Ryder, Sara, because I found out that people actually call you by your first name with the default. ![](http://i.imgur.com/9cmkQnQ.jpg)

Playing around with some modding... This is preset 9 with default Sara's skin texture and preset 1's normal map. Also, the mod that unlocks the paler skin tones, which you can find on the Nexus site. Really don't get why these options didn't ship with the game... ![<_<](//storage.proboards.com/6576594/images/uJDSFxTaceXHJgvOKqTG.png) Was trying to make a girl that could conceivably be default Scott's twin. Unfortunately it's very obvious Alec is not our biological father . ![](http://i.imgur.com/9ZsJLKT.jpg) Archive link here if anyone wants her: masseffectarchives.com/#user/1000525969566/playthrough/2140547581/gender/femaleAnd here's a quick tutorial on how to replace the textures with MEA Explorer: 1. Open MEA Explorer (not gonna explain how to install it, there's a bunch of tutorials out there) 2. FS > Load FS > Navigate to MassEffectAndromeda.exe (or just load it at startup) 3. Navigate to FS > TOC > Data/Win32/Characters_sp.toc 4. Right click on the one you want to change (the one ending in pathfinder_female_customized in this case), choose "Load into VFS" 5. Navigate to VFS > Root > Game > Characters > Human > HMF > Heads. For the default preset's texture pick the "jayde" preset. Navigate to pca > textures and export (right click) diffuse_mean.res. Navigate to "amy" (that's preset 1), got to pca > textures and export normal_mean.res. 8. Now navigate to the "cora" preset (that's 9) and import the textures you just exported over diff_mean.res and norm_diff.res (also under pca > textures) All done!
Here's a guide to the preset names if you want to mix and match other textures: default = Jayde, 1 = Amy, 2 = Ana, 3 = Emily, 4 = Susan, 5 = Mariah, 6 = Desiree, 7 = Biftu, 8 = Raylene, 9 = Cora. Ok, so i tried this...I followed your instructions (I have modded plenty of games before) but the game wouldnt load after I had done the texture swap. I had to do a verify/repair to get the game working again....so I can use your face but not with those textures. Does anyone have a clue why this would cause my game to not load? It was there in my task manager but didnt load properly.

Not sure about that, but if you are on-line chances are the game will check itself for "non-corruption". And this is where you might get problems with loading, since you do change game files.

Unfortunately it's very obvious Alec is not our biological father . Archive link here if anyone wants her: masseffectarchives.com/#user/1000525969566/playthrough/2140547581/gender/femaleAnd here's a quick tutorial on how to replace the textures with MEA Explorer: 1.

I had to do a verify/repair to get the game working again....so I can use your face but not with those textures. Does anyone have a clue why this would cause my game to not load? It was there in my task manager but didnt load properly. Not sure what's going on here. You shouldn't have to play the game in offline mode. I don't and it works fine. You do have to make sure you're using a face texture from another preset in that same location... I tried using Cora's (as in our squadmates) and the game wouldn't start, and since default Scott's textures are in a weird location, it apparently won't work either. (so no using, say, a female texture on a male character). I know someone else followed my instructions and it worked just fine. I do highly recommend this tool though for if you want to try it again: www.nexusmods.com/masseffectandromeda/mods/122/? Takes literally minutes to back up the necessary files, and, like, two seconds to recover them if something goes wrong. I've probably used it a dozen times to 'fix' my game between testing things out and it works like a charm. Someone did re-write my tutorial in the OP here: bsn.boards.net/thread/9736/borrow-skin-brow-younger-ryderTry following that to see if you maybe missed a step the first time around (the descriptions and tools needed is a bit more in depth than what I posted). EDIT: Looking at the file structure, preset 9 ("Cora") has some weirdness with the file names. Make sure the textures you're replacing are from hmf > head > Cora > pca > textures. And that you're replacing norm_mean.res and NOT norm_mean.ebx. Also that you're not just going into hmf > head > Cora > pca and replacing one of the tex_ or pca_ files which have similar names. That you're actually going into that 'texture' directory inside the 'pca' one. That's the only obvious mistake I could think of that might prevent it from working... Good luck, either way!

Ok, so i tried this...I followed your instructions (I have modded plenty of games before) but the game wouldnt load after I had done the texture swap. I had to do a verify/repair to get the game working again....so I can use your face but not with those textures. Does anyone have a clue why this would cause my game to not load? It was there in my task manager but didnt load properly. Not sure what's going on here. You shouldn't have to play the game in offline mode. I don't and it works fine. You do have to make sure you're using a face texture from another preset in that same location... I tried using Cora's (as in our squadmates) and the game wouldn't start, and since default Scott's textures are in a weird location, it apparently won't work either. (so no using, say, a female texture on a male character). I know someone else followed my instructions and it worked just fine. I do highly recommend this tool though for if you want to try it again: www.nexusmods.com/masseffectandromeda/mods/122/? Takes literally minutes to back up the necessary files, and, like, two seconds to recover them if something goes wrong. I've probably used it a dozen times to 'fix' my game between testing things out and it works like a charm. Someone did re-write my tutorial in the OP here: bsn.boards.net/thread/9736/borrow-skin-brow-younger-ryderTry following that to see if you maybe missed a step the first time around (the descriptions and tools needed is a bit more in depth than what I posted). EDIT: Looking at the file structure, preset 9 ("Cora") has some weirdness with the file names. Make sure the textures you're replacing are from hmf > head > Cora > pca > textures. And that you're replacing norm_mean.res and NOT norm_mean.ebx. Also that you're not just going into hmf > head > Cora > pca and replacing one of the tex_ or pca_ files which have similar names. That you're actually going into that 'texture' directory inside the 'pca' one. That's the only obvious mistake I could think of that might prevent it from working... Good luck, either way! You are right, of course, there should not be necessary to play off-line but I would try it anyway - settings in Origin about checking up game integrity can be different (if it sounds too stupid take it as a superstition easy to check and dismiss). In case nothing works there is one more solution - to use the mod, that is doing what you are doing manually, though, it exists only for default Sara texture and lacking in fine tuning with maps/skin swapping which you do to get your gorgeous characters. I mean that mod: www.nexusmods.com/masseffectandromeda/mods/133/?Should do the trick without accidental change of something wrong.

Hey all! So today I started up play through the second, this time with Scott! However, I wasn't happy with the way he looked originally soooo I had to do some tweaking. But now he's all fixed up and ready to novacharge his way to glory! ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/6576594/images/RebJidSPcxyF0U0Rr0uW.png) ![](http://i.imgur.com/0PusQr8.jpg)

I only recently found these forums, last time I was around it was DAI, and the old forums. I knew those had been taken down, but didn't know about these! I've been playing my 2nd run though, and after lurking a bit, decided to join in the fun in the thread. I went into my first run nearly unspoilered, though I wish I'd read enough to know I should've made her eyes darker. Most my screenshots with my first girl have super bright eyes, thank goodness for that 1.05 patch! Really helped her out. First Sara, Preset 5 - I've seen a lot of twins or near twins to her around, lol! She had nearly all emotional choices, with a bunch of casual snark thrown in. ![](http://i.imgur.com/fFy2HgOh.jpg) A few more, with some game spoilers too (one with Scott). Hope I did the spoiler tags right! And now my 2nd playthrough, Sara Preset #9. Very professional, thinks everything through logically, unlike my first Sara! ![](http://i.imgur.com/yB1gMYdh.jpg) And some more shots of her:
