basicaly, I want to replay my main femshep, but I relaly messed up on her looks :/  I fixed it in ME2 and figured out how I can make her look right in ME1, but I don't want to start a character from scratch, I want to replay her.  and yet...I've gotten so used to her look in ME2, the old design cosntantly throws me.  so..is there any way to mod her to look the right way?

bear in mind that I know less then nothing about modding, so even if its possible, I'll probably need the explanations to be on the level of a 5 year old O_O

thank you in advance

I take it its impossible?

[AdmiralCheez]

Not without modding, and I don't know how to mod.

[CroGamer002]

Not possible.

There is nothing you can do except replay it. Or start from scratch. If you need help recreating ME1 characters. This thread might come in handy!

darn... I wanted to replay her with all the skill points she already has and such, but oh well

You could always cheat to give her back her levels/skill points. It might also be possible to transfer a face from a savegame to another through hex-editing, but since you stated that you know nothing about modding, cheating is going to be a lot easier.

how would I do that?   I don't know anything about modding..right now, but theoreticaly I could learn.  most of the modding information I have found was about ME2 though, and in that game at least it was never an issue, as you could change appearance with each replay of imported character.

You mean the cheating or the hex-editing? Cheating is easy (unless youre playing on the 360, but I assume you aren't), just do a search on ME1 console commands in google, should be easy enough to find.

Tranfering morph information through hex-editing will be much trickier on the other hand, unless you already have some experience analyzing binary files.

If you're really motivated, I made a post a while ago on the ME1 forums on how to trick the game into thinking your character is of the opposite gender (for same-sex romances). Some of the information in that thread could probably be of use:
social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/104/index/2771955

I also found this little tutorial about figuring out the structure of archive files in order to be able to extract stuff from them : wiki.xentax.com/index.php/DGTEFF
While the main subject of that guide doesn't quite apply to what you want to do, it still contains plenty of relevant information (especially parts 3 and 4)

Now for the facial information : it seems to be located in the player.sav files judging by some strings I'm seeing at around offset 22C0. If you can spot where the information is stored exactly, and then copy it from one savegame to another, you might be able to transfer the facial data. In fact, I think I'm gonna go try that right now.

Edit:
Okay, just had a more in-depth look at the player.sav file. Forget about doing this manually, it'd be easier to write a program to do the transfer. I'm not exactly sure where the facial data is in the file (I'm actually a pretty big noob at this). I can see the descriptive strings near the start of the files but the actual values are definetly not next to them. They should be somewhere in the bunch of data that comes after all the descriptive strings, but I'm not quite sure how to figure out where exactly, and not quite motivated enough to try to learn more.

damn..I'm not nearly good enough with coding to attempt either manual changes or writing a program to do it, however, I've been thinking about using the trick of changing gender/custom face, without changing the gender.

I'm going to need to put aside some time to read through and process all that stuff - never done hex editing before, didn't even know what the heck that was untill just now, but if it will let me start a new run through with a new face, I don't mind if old saves have old face.

I take it there is still no way to change appearance after the start?
