🎯 Tips & Tricks
Make sure you have the DLC armors installed — this mod only unlocks helmetless versions of those, so it won't work without them.
If you're using a mod manager like ME3Tweaks Mod Manager, drop the mod in and let it handle the install — it's the safest way.
Check your load order if you have other armor mods — this one might conflict if they modify the same files.
🔧 Troubleshooting
Mod conflicts
Check load order. Disable conflicting mods one by one.
⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing without checking requirements
👍 Pros

- Lets you actually see Shepard's face during combat, which is a huge quality-of-life win for roleplayers
- Adds extra armor and casual options from ME1 and ME3, giving you more variety without breaking immersion
👎 Cons
- Description cuts off mid-sentence — no full list of included armors or install instructions
- Only for Mass Effect 2 Legendary Edition — no help if you're on the original ME2
- No mention of compatibility with other mods or potential conflicts — you'll need to test yourself
