Face Codes are 36 character long codes including letters and numerals. This can be used to share a character face created in any of the Mass Effect games in the trilogy, to be transferred to the other two games.
If you want to find your face codes from original games then you can copy them from the left-hand side of the Squad Menu. Once we have interesting face codes we will be making an article to share with everyone.
Mass Effect 2 Face Codes No Mods
Greetings Commanders!For the Legendary Edition launch a small tool has been created to help convert your old ME 2 and ME 3 face codes to Legendary Edition-compatible codes. This link will bring you to Google Drive where you'll find a small program you can download and unzip.Be sure to check the PleaseRead file first, then you can run MassEffectFaceCodes.exe. We encourage you to verify the Electronic Arts, Inc digital signature before proceeding.This tool will then allow you to enter your Mass Effect 2 or Mass Effect 3 face codes for use in Legendary Edition character creation. Feel free to share your converted face codes here, show off your beautiful, handsome or "characterful" Shepards for the world to see. Note: In some cases codes will not match 100% to your original Shepard due to changes in the content and you may have to adjust some settings manually in the character creator.
For the most part, the ME2 and ME3 facecodes work perfectly fine in Legendary Edition as is. The code portions that don't work are the colors: Skin tone, hair color, makeup, etc. In a few cases, the hairstyle codes don't work too. This tool does away with a lot of the guess work and translates all those color codes to LE codes that work if not 100%, then very close.
Note 1: ME2 skips the letter 'O' when generating the face code, in other words when you bring the slider (e.g. neck thickness) to position 24, the game encodes it with the letter 'P' in the face code, instead of 'O' (e.g. M(22)->N(23)->P(24) ). The letter 'O' isn't used in the face code. Not sure why they did it this way, I'm just letting you know to prevent confusion.Note 2: I have made an Excel spreadsheet that does this automatically which you can download from the link below and use it either with MS Excel or Google Docs (by importing it) and you can then use it to generate ME2 face code for your own characters. Simply fill in the slider values on white columns as in the examples given in the spreadsheet and ME2 face code will be generated automatically underneath that column, which you can then copy.Link for the Excel spreadsheet: Mass Effect Face Code Generator (ME1 to ME2).7zBy the way, in case you're wondering why one should bother with all this, the "imported" character in ME2 is not entirely the same as the one generated by using the face code or created from scratch by using the ME2 sliders. In other words, if you import the character from your ME1 saves, it'll be ever so slightly different than the one you create from scratch, because there are some differences in how these two games handle character assets and sliders.Note 3: You probably won't need any of this for the "legendary" version for two reasons, first it already shows you the face code in ME1 and also, the new sliders are most likely incompatible with the original games, so I wouldn't bother trying if I were you. 2ff7e9595c
