About the Mod
This was a bit of a personal mod for me - even though there were many, MANY things completely wrong with the "Mass Effect: Foundations" comic series (don't even get me started on all the damn retcons... <_< ), there was something I did rather like.... seeing Brooks in an actual Cerberus uniform:

This got me interested in actually seeing Brooks wear a variant of her former Cerberus uniform in ME3 during the final Citadel DLC mission, Citadel Docks: Retake the Normandy. After all, we see that the clone actually bothered to change into different clothes after stealing the Normandy, so why wouldn't Brooks? (especially since they didn't seem to initially expect Shepard to catch up to them)
 
So after a bit of work, I was able to get Brooks to wear her old Cerberus uniform during the final Citadel DLC mission (using Miranda's ME3 uniform and her old ME2 loyalty textures as a basis).  :)

Required Files/Programs
This mod does require both the Citadel DLC installed (duh, lol) and WarrantyVoider's DLC Patch files to be downloaded and installed in the "Mass Effect 3\Binaries\Win32" folder: http://www.mediafire...sr9/binkw32.rar
 
Download Link
Now available on the NexusMods website: http://www.nexusmods...ffect3/mods/342
 
Install Instructions
Just drag and drop the "DLC_CON_Brooks" folder into your Mass Effect 3 DLC folder (Mass Effect 3\BIOGame\DLC). :)
 
Q&A
1. Really? I just drag and drop this into the game's DLC folder?
Yep. :)
 
2. No, seriously, I don't have to fiddle with Texmod and TPF files or try and and play around with Texplorer in ME3Explorer to replace textures?
Not at all :) This mod is using a new method of integrating custom textures into DLC-type mods without the need for Texmod or permanent texture replacement - all the new textures required for the character's new outfit are stored directly in the mod's DLC folder.
 
3. What if I don't like the mod, how do I get rid of it?
You just delete it from your game's DLC folder.
 
4. And it doesn't affect anything in the base game or the other DLCs?
Nope, the mod is entirely self-contained.
 
5. ... Really?
Really :)
 
Mod Compatibility
- As of version 1.1, this mod is now completely compatible with Texplorer and can be safely scanned and included in Texplorer's texture database.
 
- this mod should be completely 100% compatible with Deager's "Citadel Epilogue Mod", as to my knowledge he did not do any edits to any of the files for the final DLC mission, "Citadel Docks: Retake the Normandy".

Cool. I'm keeping CEM pretty low on the list...I might do 3300 for the next release. Although, we may not even touch the same files at all...ooo, except textures. I was debating offering a pre-installed textures version for people who can't use texplorer or texmod very well. Maybe we'll chat via PM. ;)

I like to see this mod as well :)!   Wonder if you change Maya alliance to this and Miranda loyal black armor later on?   Maya used Miranda black armor too in comics

Ok folks, you may be getting this sooner than you think, lol.... figured out a method to add new textures into a DLC mod and have them only affect the files of the mod and not the entire game, meaning I can have Brook's wear her Ceberus uniform during the "Retake the Normandy" mission and not screw up her textures for her Alliance uniform/armor during the rest of the game  :) Will do a few more tests, then hopefully I'll be able to release this tomorrow afternoon.

This is a very awesome mod! Never did like Brooks in the Alliance gear, especially after the reveal.  Now I just gotta make my classic armor mod compatible with this and I'll be set! ;) (I'm assuming they aren't compatible since Brooks' classic armors change some of the same files as yours)

honestly, I like Brooks' Alliance nightmare armor. the reskin version doesn't make it look as nice as hers (I still don't get why they insist on making you use Cerberus-style armors in the game when you never have an option to be Cerberus). I'm doing Omega and then Citadel conspiracy next. Will post Rasa's screenies later.

This mod has been updated to version 1.1, which now makes the mod completely compatible with Texplorer and allow it to be safely scanned and added to Texplorer's texture database.

I can also confirm that this mod worked without a hitch while I was testing CEM Full. We don't touch the same files at all. :)

Btw, is it possible to extract Brooks Alliance armor into a tpf for FemShep?
