Ok... So I made this mod basically because I did not like the default Bioware pic of Tali. The reason for my dislike is because
1: I thought the picture looked a tad... freaky. Maybe thats just me
2: Of all the Tali faces my imagination came up with, the Bioware picture certainly didn't look like what I imagined at all
3: We have all heard about how Bioware cheaped out and used a stock Getty Image for Tali. All they did was photoshop it a bit. Now that may be just a rumor, nothing more... but still

Anyway regardless of my motives, I have made a mod for changing the picture in your room. Texmod is NOT required, and you have a couple different pictures to choose from, masked and unmasked. The mod can be found here:

http://social.biowar...m/project/8831/

IMPORTANT
I hope people will back up their files; that being said I am sure as I can be this will cause absolutely no problems as this is a simple texture replace. But by installing this you agree I am clear of all liabilty and consequences.
Also, please understand this is a TEXTURE replacement. What that means basically is that if you are a non-Talimancer you should not install this.
If you want a picture for everybody, head over to Mimi's mod. You can find a link on the me3explorer freeforums

1: Download ME3Explorer: http://sourceforge.n...ts/me3explorer/
2: Extract ME3 explorer files out to different location
3: Open ME3 Explorer
4: Click "tools" in the upper left hand corner. Navigate to Texture Tool
5: click Mod! and select a .dds file in this folder (each .dds file has a picture (PNG) that corresponds to it; looking at
   the pictures will give you a basic idea of what options you have).
7: allow updates all (should happen twice)
8: check current appearence to check success. The picture will be offset; this is normal! This will look just fine in game
9: Congrats, you are done modding. Play ME3!

IF you need any help do not hesitate to contact me; I will attempt to help in any way I can!

IMPORTANT: IF YOU DISLIKED THE BIOWARE ENDING TO ME3, please follow the link to the MEHEM mod by MrFob! Very well done ending
mod that saved the series for me. Download link will be in the video description:

Don't a couple of identical mods already exist?

The face we got totally matches what I expected since ME1. The pic was just so horribly photoshopped(that hand!).

A couple similar mods exist, yes. However, the installation process for mine is a bit different for two reasons. First, this doesn't require texmod, this is a permanent replacement of the Tali picture. Second, my textures are already turned into 512x512 and mitmapped to make it easier for people to install

However, that doesn't really mean I am better than the other modders. In fact, I probably would not have made this if it wasnt for their inspiration

Just passing by and saw this thread and thought I'd take a moment to point something out quickly that might help avoid some confusion.

You might want to make clear that what you've prepared are a couple of new texture replacements for Tali's frame. There's no new .pcc file (as with Mimi's mod), for example, so, it's not a mod that provides all Shepard's with the cabin photo.

As you point out in your OP, anyone can use the Texture Tool to replace the image in the frame with any other image. It's just that if you aren't a Talimancer, you need to use Mimi's .pcc file to make sure the photo frame appears for your Shepard.

That's it! Hope that remedies any confusion that might pop up :]

@ giftfish
Thanks. I thought I had made that clear to start with, but obviously Necanor's comment says otherwise. I will edit my initial post on here to attempt to make this clear

There is no question the Biower pic was a "modified" crap stock photo. Anyone who has seen the photos from the shoot of the Iranian princess (?) can CLEARLY see this.

Yup; Bioware rushed a lot of things, hence why I run my texture and the MEHEM mod.
