Has anyone seen or is anyone aware of any body mods for ME:LE? Nexus Mods is bone-dry, and the ones I do find actually shrink body parts on the models to make them more “practical.” Anyone have any luck?

The only one i saw was this from this person on Deviantart, but seems they haven’t released it. I wish body mods like these were available for Mass effect or at least know how to make them.

I didn’t even know some model replacer on ME:LE exist. I wasn’t able to find any guides of how to make it 
Use Legendary Explorer’s Mesh Explorer tool to export model.
Here’s a guide A guide to editing Character Meshes · ME3Tweaks/LegendaryExplorer Wiki · GitHub

Wow, just wow. Thanks sharing it.
Peach can find anything 
Thank you.
After checking guide not sure if it worth the effort to waste so much time on trying, but it is good to know that it is possible.
The game is currently 92% off on Steam, and if you could play as a chubby or even bbw Shepard, it would be great! But I get what you mean after reading the guide. It’s a lot to take in…
Well, if I didn’t play in Mass Effect before it would be interesting to try to make a modification and play with it. But I completed the game many years ago, and therefore I am not interested in playing through it again. Actually, when first Mass Effect released I didn’t even know how to sculpt in Blender

How can you play as a chubby/BBW Shepard? Is there actually a mod out for it?
Yeah, sorry for the misinformation. I was trying to convey a different meaning, but I conveyed it incorrectly in my message.

This is actually exactly what drove me to make this thread, it’s funny as hell that that’s the first thing you bring up.
Heh, that’s indeed funny. I really would like to give a try to learning about modding this game and someday creating a mod for it. So , now knowing about the process is super nice. It will take a long time, however, as i’m super busy with some personal projects and i’ve been helping a friend in their game with the art.
I’ll have to put a pin to this later. Have a nice day.

Almost 1 year later, I was able to learn how modding this game works and did a quick test with Tali in Mass Effect 1.
Most of the tutorials in the github of the Modding tools don’t really explain how to extract the models and requires to pretty much juggle between Blender and UDK. Also they used a very old plugin for import/export models from this game that doesn’t work on current Blender, I had to find a newer, better plugin for that. Even worse is that he stable version of the Tools (Legendary explorer) has troubles with exporting, i had to use the nightly version.
I would like to work more on this, but I want to focus first on RE and the BL2 mod I’m making. In the future I’ll work on this series properly.

Even for just a test, this mod looks great!! And it’s amazing to see someone actually managed to pull it off and make a mod like this for Mass Effect LE, I had given up hope. Definitely looking forward to any further updates if you do end up coming back to this!

Well, now then. I wish I capable of models. Even if you’ve got other projects to deal with first, the fact it’s possible will help other model creators.

Thanks. I’ll try to release the Tali mod anyways in case someone wants to play with it after I’m done with the BL2 mod. But I do want to properly make fatter characters for ME in another time.

I didn’t have the most fun experience using the tools for modding Mass Effect, but anyways, here it is the Tali mod. Again, I’ll work on this series in another time.
You’ll need ME3tweaksmodmanager to install it and this mod works for the legendary edition of the first game.

Honestly, this might be the only reason I ever bother replaying the first one again (given that I already have played the original and the LE through once and therefore have a savefile I can just use for 2 any time I like).
