Absolutely love your hair mods, but while I can successfully install them, they’re so low resolution they look like a kid drew them on with permanent marker! A FAT permanent marker! The general shape is right, but the brow line has big blocks instead of the smooth look you show, and don’t get me started on the curls! My PC plays on ultra settings in DAI, have everything set high in ME3… is there a HR texture mod somewhere that I’m missing??? Thank you from the new-to-ME3- me!
Sounds like the texture .tpf isn’t applying. did you install with the .pcc file? Did you run the .tpf through texmod?
hey. this might be a bit late but i had the same problem. i fixed this by running TPFTools and loading the tpf file then pressing the autofix and install button and then i updated my tocbin file. this worked for me hope it helped and soorry if it didnt
I love the hair mods, i created my custom femshep and she was absolutely hideous before i tried your hair mods. I was wondering though, is it possible to use these mods for Mass Effect 2?
hi. when I install some of your hair mods, the neck of my character becomes black. you don’t know why this can happen?
Hey girlplaygame, I was wondering if you have a Lara Croft long braid with bangs hair? If not, would you upload one?
Hey! I shall like that you helps me ^^ I managed to install hairmod Sky148, but my femshep in him black neck! How may I adjust that? Thank you
Here we have Michael Shepard with Zombrex hair. Oh baby! http://imgur.com/SN59EKb
Nice! Looks great on him! ;)
I’m having problems downloading ANY of these styles. Any chance you can bundle them together and post on say media fire??? Alternatively you could send them to my email address. Thank you so much any help would be gratefully received.
Hi, what is the problem with downloading? Sometimes there are too many people trying to download my mods at the same time, so check back later. If there is any one mod in particular you need, lemme know which one and your email address and I’ll share it via email :)
Babe no offense but you butchered the fuk outta these lol like look at vivacity. did you use the shader for death or something
Hi! Loving the hairs, using Vapor atm for my Paragon Shep :)
Quick question; every hair I use affect Diana Allers hair as well, basically it looks like she has the hair without the textures. I don’t really care for her, but I was thinking of using this mod (http://www.nexusmods.com/masseffect3/mods/232/?), and it says around the bottom of the description that it’s “not compatible with any mods that replace the Diana Allers hair in BIOG_HMF_HIR_PRO.pcc.”, which I have done using your mods for Femshep. So I’m just wondering weather you can somehow work around this, maybe fix Diana’s hair somehow. As I said though, I don’t really care for Diana I just thought this mod might make her more bearable lmaoo
If you don’t want to mess up Allers’ hair, you can manually install the hair into another hairstyle using the .upk file, but then the .tpf file won’t work – you’ll have to create your own via Texmod – this will require you to go into logging mode, find the hex code of the hairstyle you want to replace, then build a .tpf from that. Or, if you want to use that Modest Allers mod, you can install it first, then install the hair mod for Shepard. It will still mess up Allers hair, but she will be wearing the modest dress :)
Heya! LOVE your mods – my Sheps are gorgeous thanks to you. Just one quick issue: I’m not sure about the other mods, but when I use the glam hair mod, sometimes my shep’s hair (which is supposed to be blonde) will be completely brown except for a few streaks of her bangs which will remain blonde. It’s weird though, because that mod has worked fine in the past, but on occasion I get the mixed hair thing. Do you have any ideas/solutions to this?
I was having the same problem. I know you asked this like a year ago but I found a solution. You have to alter the numbers in the RAW section of Gibbed. Go to Raw Tab, click Player (on left side), Head Morph (on the right side) and change the Scalar Parameters (click on the … button) of the Highlight1 and Highlight2 from whatever number they are to a higher number, like I went from 4 to 50. Then when you change the colour of Highlight 1 and highlight 2 in the Player Tab (click Player then the Appearance tab – you will see all the boxes of colour) they will be the colour you see on your Shepard.

You have some awesome mods and tutorials here! Thank you so much!
I was wondering if it would be possible to port the Mohawk from ME2 into 3, so I can use it with femshep? Currently, Vega’s Mohawk is too long and ends up running halfway down Shepard’s forehead.
Thanks! I know it’s possible, but I’ve not done it myself :( you would have to create a mod like the ones on my site (mesh and texture)!
Man, it’s been two years, and I still can’t figure it out. :(
Hi, sorry to bother you, I absolutely love your work ! However I have quite a problem with your mods, as my femshep’s face turns … black whenever I put one of your hairstyles. Like, not just black skinned, just full-on black, it’s actually pretty scary ! She’s got nice hair now, at least, I guess xD
Any idea why ? I followed all your steps, and I run the game through TexMod, and honestly the hair looks great, but the hairmod looks like it affect the whole face, and maybe it’s because I didn’t download the face package ? Do you have one that needs intalling ? Thanks !
Check the troubleshooting guide on my site – It’s a Texmod/ME3Explorer problem, nothing to do with my mods, so unfortunately there isn’t really a great fix for it. :( Which hairstyle are you using?
Hello there I love your hair mods but I was wondering can you change colour to the mods hair?
Hi there. I’m wondering if you could help me with a problem. I’m having this issue with both your hair mods and with others that I’ve tried.
Below are a couple screenshots I’ve done trying to use this mod: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-okcrBafJJ94/UjIAgL2HFgI/AAAAAAAAAgg/sY_8F94Qm90/s1600/MassEffect3+2013-09-12+21-42-21-71.jpg
Here is how it turns out for me:
http://imgur.com/3QyYTJV

The same thing happens with any of your mods I’ve tried (I was attempting to use this one in the pictures because it mods Custom Cute instead of Allers hair and I didn’t want to mess up Allers. But Top Gorgeous is very similar in style and I’ve also tried a few others along these lines.)
It looks like the textures aren’t applying? I’ve tried it using texmod, I’ve tried it using TPF tools, I’ve even tried it using the source upk/dds source files, all with the same result.
Again this is happening with both your mods when I tried to use Allers hair in my savegame and with Kani’s hair mods.
It’s happening in these screenshots (of the Citadel DLC obviously) but also in previous savegames that aren’t in DLCs.
It hasn’t always been like this. The first couple times I modded my Shep’s hair, it was perfect. I used your mod Synthesis for most of my playthrough until I decided Shep was under too much stress to look that put together and wanted to go with something more disheveled :) The only issue I was having with your mods was that they were making my hair very dark brown, even when I was trying for a lighter brown tone, until this started after the end of the game.
Any idea why this is happening?
Yes, the tpf files included in my mods only apply textures to Allers’ hair. Thus, if you’re using custom cute hairstyle, it won’t work – you have to create your own tpf for custom cute :)
No, no, I know that. It’s happening for both your mods (using Allers hair in the savegame edit) and other people’s hair mods that use the custom cute. I was just using the custom cute one as an example because I lost my other screenshots in a PC rebuild.
Here is a thread going through all the troubleshooting I’ve done. Believe me, it’s not any of the obvious fixes.
http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/3813680-hair-textures-wont-apply/
Please also know that I’m not saying it’s a problem with YOUR mod. Clearly there is a problem with my game setup somehow (especially since I just discovered that your broshep hairs work just fine for me.) For some reason my game is not reading textures from ANY femshep hair mods, including yours. Mostly I was just posting here in the hopes that you know enough about the subject to help with a more generalized problem that impacts your mods, yes, but also others.
But yeah. I’ve followed your instructions to the letter. I’ve followed the instructions for the other hair mods to the letter, too. Including all necessary (and appropriate to the source) changes to the savegame file. I’ve gone through every possibility mentioned in your troubleshooting section. And as you can see by that thread on Nexus, I’ve been trying to think outside the box for troubleshooting, also. Which is how I came up with the idea to see if it affected male and female sheps alike.
I think a lot of the problem with textures not applying these days is because of the fact that the modded textures being in DTX5 when the ProShort diff is in DTX1. Autofix on TPFTools isn’t reliable for solving that problem, which normally you would think, okay, fine, so let’s use Texmod. Except that wasn’t working either, for me.
So I took matters into my own hands (with some help from me3deager and kinkojiro) and accomplished the following:
1) I switched out the DTX1 ProShort diff for a DTX5 diff (the sexy one, which was right above it in PCC Editor 2.0.) That way, texplorer didn’t throw up any errors about trying to replace a DTX1 texture with DTX5.
2) Just to make things REALLY SUPER DUPER plug-and-play (and give us the ability to essentially swap hair mods out at will) I packaged a number of them in DLCs. Now all one has to do is edit the savegame once and after that just take one DLC out and put another in whenever we want to change hairs mid-game.
3) (Fixing a personal pet peeve of mine) I reverse-engineered the method kinkojiro recommended to solve issue #1 and applied it to meshes to replace the CustomCute mesh with ProJessica. So now we can use these ProJessica hair mods in CustomCute instead without getting any errors about having the wrong number of bones. Which means we no longer have to worry about conflicts with mods that change Allers’ appearance nor do we have to deal with the annoyance of having her look like a weird mutant creature (or even just copying out hairstyle) when we visit the cargo hold.
I don’t plan to upload these to Nexus or anything unless all the authors of the various mods I re-packaged as DLCs want me to. But if you would like to download them to test and distribute them yourself, by all means, please do (just maybe give me a nod when you do.) You can grab them here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BwKYIAAdvVtqQVdRUjQxOE0zaE0 (yours are the ones with GPG in the name, obviously.) I also included a document that is more an overview of what I did than an actual tutorial, because with my communication issues I don’t trust myself to write a tutorial that anyone else would find easy to follow.)
I never had problems with DXT5 before but I’m curious to see if that is the problem for the black skin – it’s weird because the hair texture mod doesn’t affect the neck skin at all, so I don’t know why that would be the issue, but thanks for doing all this work and sharing, I will definitely give it a try! :D
ETA: I also wanted to clarify that I am applying the textures last when installing them using TPF/DDS tools, so they should overwrite anything conflicting, and it’s the only texture I’m loading when trying to load it in texmod so no conflicts there.
Hmm. I’ll check that out. I can think of at least one mod here that has given me the black neck problem. I’ll do some testing.
Yep. It solved the neck-blackness problem for me. Or rather, I don’t have the neck blackness problem now, whereas I’ve always had it before. I suppose the solution could be in the fact that I’ve rebuilt my game and mods from the ground up a couple times since I last had it, but I don’t have it now, using one of my DLCs. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BwKYIAAdvVtqWE9IbnZhSjY0RVk this is “Slowly” which is a hairstyle that has always given me trouble before (including after at least one rebuild.)
Thank you so much for providing the solution to this problem. I’ll convert Toyger using this method straight away.
You’re welcome. It’s kinda complicated because there are a lot of different steps (making a DLC, making the custom textures for the DLC, and editing the PCC file) but unless and until I get permission to distribute the DLCs I’ve made, I can’t really share them with anyone but the mod authors and a few modders who were helping me.
Is the armor DLC the same as the hair making one? My game gets stuck on loading screen whenever I mess with the .pcc file so making an armor DLC would be nice but I’m not sure if it’s the same way :<
If you get stuck on the loading screen, you’re probably not updating your TOC file. You can do that by running TOCbinUpdater from ME3Explorer.
But yes, the armor mods I’m releasing on Nexus (or soon will be) will work in a similar manner.
Well that’s the thing, I update the damn thing and it still doesn’t work
So I finally got the mod working on my game. However it seems that no matter which hair style I choose they all seem to be the wrong hair color for my character. My character is blond, but almost all of them make her hair brunette. I’m not sure what’s wrong with it, but any insight would be greatly appreciated. I don’t have the black neck issue, but it sounded like someone else was having a similar problem to mine without any luck.
So I still have an issue with the hair color being weird no matter which hair style I choose.
This is something that happens with a lot of hair mods, and I have no idea why. Check out my Hair Mods as DLCs project over at Nexus and look for one in the screenshots where the character’s hair is brown rather than black. Those ones will work for you, I should think.
Why don’t you try changing it with gibbed?
I did, but every time I chose something the color was still off except for the very drastic colors like red or blue.
Good news! I’ve cracked the color problem. It will be a while for me to redo all the hair DLCs, but I’ll be able to fix this issue. Gimme a couple weeks.
What is the issue? I’m very curious after having this problem for a while.
These are the same texture file. On the left is the version of it that causes dark hair. On the right, the brightness has been adjusted so that it’s at the same level as the mods that DON’T cause dark hair. It’s a super-simple fix.

I just cannot get any to work :/ maybe im following the instrucions wrong but they do look lovely. I wish there was an easier way to install them lol
I’ve tried quite a few of your hair mods but, no matter which hair I select, I get a weird, metallic problem with Shepard’s face. It’s not a black neck. https://flic.kr/p/Jm3csE
I’ve used a hair mod by another person without any issue and the mesh and texture of the hair seem to show up right. Is this an ordering issue within texmod?
Hi, I was wondering f there is a fix for the black necks? I downloaded everything like the instructions…i even uninstalled and reinstalled the game…if anyone knows how to fix it please let me know. everything else works fine.
Hi
I’ve tried to follow the insctructions in the .txt file. Everything well so far ’till the step “8. Go to Tools > Tocbinupdater in ME3 Explorer.”
Well, I don’t know what’s wrong or right but I have there “User Tools” and “Developer Tools”. None of them has the Tocbinupdater. Could you help me? Tnanks.
I’ve followed the instructions too but these instructions no longer work because me3explorer has updated since then. Can you please update the instructions?
Your hair mods are awesome. I’m putting together an improved character creator mod for Mass Effect 3 (better hair colour, skin tone, eye colour options, etc.) and extra hairstyles – selectable during character creation. At the moment I’m using other NPC styles, but would love to be able to use some of these, if that was okay with you? I would link to your site with full credit.
Yes of course, have at it! Appreciate the link <3
Amazing thank you so much! It’ll be up on Nexus hopefully in a week or so!
The hair looks great, I was wondering if these mods are usable for ME1?
Unfortunately no :(
Hi :)
I just love your mods! They are so awsome, I’ve used a lot of them playing the original game. I have a question, if I may ask, are you going to create mods that will be useable in this new, legendary edition? I would love to try them out again. Thanks in advance :)
I’ve given permission to modders to port my hair mods over to Mass Effect LE. I believe there is an effort underway to do so, but I’m not involved :)
At the moment we are trying to adapt / create several hair mods on the legendary version. We are just starting out, but a few mods are now available on the legendary version.
LE1 : https://www.nexusmods.com/masseffectlegendaryedition/mods/712?tab=description
LE 2 : https://www.nexusmods.com/masseffectlegendaryedition/mods/693?tab=description
LE 3 : https://www.nexusmods.com/masseffectlegendaryedition/mods/686
If you like them, please let other mass effect players know. Because many are looking for haircuts for legendary edition mass effect and for Male Shep. ^^
I hope Toyger hair will be converted to LE at some point. Whoever created this hair is responsible for my complete inability to play ME 3 without them.
