About this mod

Unique Kahlee Sanders mod offers a new original and different head/face shape to the character of Kahlee Sanders, as well as a new hairstyle for her. Although her appearance in Mass Effect 3 is brief, she is a recurring main character in the original Mass Effect novels and I felt that her design by Bioware was sort of lazy, in the sense that she is done with generic assets, and thus, becoming visually forgettable.

While maintaining the colors chosen by Bioware, as those were established by Drew Karpyshyn in the novels, I took the liberty of giving her an unique and updated head mesh based on a scrapped design for an iconic Femshep on the original Mass Effect game. Thus, all assets included here are Bioware's and mine. Edit of the hairstyle belongs to ELE08.

Originally a mod I made for personal use on the Original Trilogy version of the game and featured on my Machinima of the Grissom Academy events; I decided to recreate it for the Legendary Edition, while further improving it and to share with others who might want to use this version on their games as well.

Made for and requires the LE3 Community Patch AND its framework.


Installation


This mod REQUIRES to be installed with the latest ME3Tweaks Mod Manager version by Mgamerz. 7.0+ is REQUIRED. Make sure you let it update to the latest build after installation, in order to make sure the mod can be correctly installed. It is recommended to install over a vanilla NON textured game.

The mod is in DLC form, so its installation is as simple as drag and drop the .7z file into the Mod Manager and let it work its magic.

If using the optional MEM file to update the Kahlee picture featured on my Anderson and Hackett Consistency Mod (ME2LE) you must use Mass Effect Modder (Legendary Edition) which you can access from the Mod Manager itself or directly from its GitHub page. This file works only with my mod for MELE2. It has no purpose on vanilla games or LE3 at all. UPDATE 4/24/22: A new MEM file is available to update Kahlee's picture on LE3 on the War Asset terminal.



Un-Installation



Use the Mod Manager to remove the mod. Savegames aren't dependent of it, so it can be mostly safely removed and/or added at any point during your game. Of course, Kahlee Sanders face will revert to vanilla.


Compatibility


Unique Kahlee Sanders is compatible with any mod that DOES NOT edit Kahlee Sanders, which is built for the LE3 Community Patch & Framework. Both are required, thus making her compatible with any other mod out there which is logically not also altering her.



Known Issues

None. If you experience any, make sure to attach a Mod Manager Diagnostic as explained on the hidden gif below (open to expand)

Other mods by me

  • Dr. Heart Experiments: this mod modifies the appearance of Dr. Heart Experiments from Thorian Creepers to an original and unused Zombie model and textures from within the game files. Gameplay wise, they remain unchanged, having the same abilities and damage thresholds.
  • More Hair for Femshep (ME1LE): brings to the Legendary Edition Sims 4 Hairs created by Anto and originally ported by Kittentails to the original Mass Effect 3. Players who want to use them will need to use the Trilogy Savegame Editor to change their Shepard's hair.
  • Liara Consistency Mod (ME1LE): makes Liara's facial appearance fully consistent within Mass Effect, by either choosing her Lair of the Shadow Broker look from Mass Effect 2, or her Mass Effect 3 appearance. It includes her romance body as well. No further changes are included in her.

  • Unofficial LE2 Patch: this mod is unofficial bugfix patch for Mass Effect 2 Legendary Edition, by Team Pyjak.
  • TIM Floor Reflections BETA: this mod attempts to restore the original look of the Illusive Man's floor reflections on his office.
  • DLC Timings Mod (ME2LE): this mod delays most of the former DLC content of Mass Effect 2 through different methods.
  • Conrad Verner Remembers (ME2LE) BUG FIX: this mod solves the Conrad Verner bug in which the incorrect stage is set, and he always believes you pointed a gun at him on Mass Effect 1. Since a fix on Mass Effect 1 is not implemented yet, a special, in-universe mechanic has been introduced to fix the import before meeting Conrad.
  • Cerberus Ladies Wear Cerberus (ME2LE): this mod restores the correct uniforms to most of the female Cerberus crew members of the Normandy that Bioware never patched. It also includes the option to give Kelly her hair from the original Mass Effect 2.
  • Expanded Shepard Armory (ME2LE): this mod unlocks helmetless versions of the official DLC armors to players who wish to use them and see their Shepard's faces; as well as adds additional armors and casual outfits ported from Mass Effect 1, 3 and Andromeda.
  • Expanded Armor Colors (LE2): this mod simply ports the expanded selection of armor color tints from Mass Effect 3 to Mass Effect 2, offering a wider variety of colors for players to play with their Shepard looks.
  • Ronald Taylor's Fate Fix (ME2LE) BUG FIX: this mod properly records the choice done with Jacob's father on his loyalty mission. Although the bug is noticeable if you pay close attention to one specific line in Mass Effect 2; it is especially a noticeable BUG in Mass Effect 3. Fixing it in 2 will ensure both Shepard and Jacob remember what they chose.
  • Missing Codex Restored (ME2LE) BUGFIX: this mod restores the Codex entries for Thermal Clips, Grenade Launcher and Drell. The mod restores them at their appropriate place. They are fully voiced.
  • Citadel Asari Hands (BUGFIX) ME2LE: this mod fixes some asari having human hands on the Citadel, as well as some extra corrections to props placement around the levels. The mod for now does not include Thane's loyalty's mission as that a whole different level of mess.
  • Sheploo Appearance Consistency Project: this mod makes Sheploo consistent with Mass Effect 1 and 3 on 2. For some reason in 2 he has a painted ORANGE diffuse texture that does not properly tint with any outfit. This mod restores the tintable, unpainted textures from Mass Effect 1, which will make his skintone match with any outfit as well as restores the correct opacity of his eyelashes.
  • Overlord Morality Fix: in vanilla, Overlord DLC does not grant a single morality point through its entirety. With this mod, choosing the fate of David Archer on Overlord now grants 30 morality points. Paragon or Renegade depends on the appropriate option chosen.
  • Hammerhead Suicide Mission (BUGFIX): this bug fix ensures the Hammerhead shows on the cargo bay during the endgame if the player had previously acquired it.
  • No Saving-Loading Text Mod: this mod removes the unnecessarily long saving and loading messages from your user interface. There is also an option included to remove the spinning disk icon as well, for those who prefer an even clearer UI.
  • Oriana looks like Miranda's Twin (ME2LE): this small lore-friendly mod changes Oriana's face into Miranda's, so they actually look like twins. Mass Effect 2 version.
  • More Hair for Femshep (ME2LE): brings to the Legendary Edition Sims 4 Hairs created by Anto and originally ported by Kittentails to the original Mass Effect 3. Players who want to use them will need to use the Trilogy Savegame Editor to change their Shepard's hair.
  • Liara Consistency Mod: makes Liara's facial appearance fully consistent within Mass Effect 2, by either choosing her original basegame look from Mass Effect 1, her Lair of the Shadow Broker look, or her Mass Effect 3 appearance. No further changes are included in her.
  • Anderson & Hackett Consistency Mod: makes Admiral Steven Hackett and optionally Admiral David Anderson use their unique dress blues from Mass Effect 3. Additionally, you can use Anderson's face from Mass Effect either with his dress blues from Mass Effect 1 or those from 3. Additionally, Anderson's picture of Kaidan is replaced by that of Kahlee Sanders.
  • Refund Guy Consistency Mod: restores the appearance of the most annoying customer ever on the Citadel, which for some reason became a random cloned white dude from Zakera Wards on Mass Effect 2. Unfortunately, he will still be complaining about his refund and lack of purchase receipt.
  • Aria Consistency Mod: makes Aria consistent with her looks from the Omega DLC, both for her outfit as well as facial features, providing updated models and textures.
  • Reaper Husks Consistency Mod: updates all Collector and Reaper related husks and abominations to use their respective Mass Effect 3 models. Those from the planet Aequitas remain unchanged by default due to their origin being stated to be different in the game, related to an alien device, more akin to the husk depiction in Mass Effect 1. Alternatively, all game's husks can be replaced if desired.
  • Pilot In Location On Time. No more random Copilot in Arrival. Hear Joker instead: repurposes Joker's dialogue lines from Mass Effect 1 and 3 to make him be the Normandy crewman speaking on Arrival DLC instead of some random person we never see and who might not even exist.
  • Early-Ish: makes Ish and Sel be present on Omega from the beginning of the game; allowing for the quest Packages for Ish to now be available to be started on your first visit to Omega.
  • Apollo Spacesuit Restoration: restores the cut ambiance dialogue about Neil's Armstrong Spacesuit being on display at Donovan's Hock vault, during the quest Kasumi: Stealing Memory. Moreover, it adds an appropriate model to reflect the presence of such historical item.
  • Samara Cut Shadow Broker Dossiers Restored: restores 2 cut/lost/bugged/retconned dossiers about Samara from the Shadow Broker terminal.
  • Liara's Alternate LE3 Armor for LotSB (LE2): gives Liara her Alternate Appearance Pack armor from Mass Effect 3 for the combat stages of the Lair of the Shadow Broker DLC, by faithfully recreating her armor material with custom edited textures to match the armor looks from the third game. Moreover, her breather is also changed to her asari one from the third entry.
  • Kaidan and Ashley LE3 Armors for Horizon (MELE2): backports Kaidan's and Ashley's iconic armors from Mass Effect 3 into Mass Effect 2 for Horizon. Additionally, players can choose to have Ashley her updated facial look and hairstyle from Mass Effect 3 for Horizon as well.
  • Fate of Executor Pallin LE2: enables a normally inaccessible conversation in the game regarding the fate of Executor Pallin before it was retconned in Mass Effect 3 & Mass Effect: Inquisition.
  • Quarian Admiralty Board Consistency Mod (MELE2): makes the Quarian Admiralty Board (Shala'Raan, Daro'Xen, Zaal'Koris & Han'Gerrel) use their outfits from Mass Effect 3. Installation is modular, allowing to choose which Admirals to change.

  • Conrad No Apology: this mod makes Conrad Verner no longer apologizes for wrongly accusing you of pointing at gun at him. Meant to be used with conjunction of my Conrad Verner Remembers mod for Mass Effect 2 Legendary Edition.
  • Oriana looks like Miranda's Twin (ME3LE): this small lore-friendly mod changes Oriana's face into Miranda's, so they actually look like twins. Mass Effect 3 version.
  • More Hair for Femshep (ME3LE): brings to the Legendary Edition Sims 4 Hairs created by Anto and originally ported by Kittentails to the original Mass Effect 3. Players who want to use them will need to use the Trilogy Savegame Editor to change their Shepard's hair.
  • Unique Kahlee Sanders: this mod offers a new original and different head/face shape to the character of Kahlee Sanders, as well as a new hairstyle. Although her appearance in Mass Effect 3 is brief, she is a recurring main character in the original Mass Effect novels and I felt that her design by Bioware was sort of lazy.
  • Fleet Admiral Steven Hackett Restored: this mod restores Hackett's missing gold 4th bar from his uniform on his Legendary Edition appearance on Mass Effect 3. It also features an improved model and edited textures by Padme4000.
