ME1 Coalesced (or equivalent) Editing

[arianrhod]

 To the best of my knowledge, Me1 lacks a coalesced file. However, I hope to modify Shepard's body - replace her uniform with Asari commando armor - in Me1, a similar result to coalesced edits in Me2 and Me3, where you can have Shepard wear NPC armor. So, is there a way going about this - a redirection of meshes, pointing the game to use an Asari commando mesh instead of Shepard's casual uniorm? OR - since that uniform is probably a single mesh used by all female crewmembers in game - how about a mod to a) make shep wear armor even on the Normandy and 2) have that armor be asari commando armor.

ME1's coalesced equivalent are all the INI files in its Config directory. You can look in there to see if any have casual outfits. I doubt it, since there's no armor locker in ME1.

I haven't spent any time looking at ME1 files, but the game structure is very, very different from ME2/3, so I can't help beyond that, I'm afraid.
