This is very interesting, I originally didn't want to include T2 and especially T3 images at all (I did an image search for every single image and used the highest resolution that existed on the internet - these were the ones I couldn't find better resolutions for), but decided to do so for the sake of completion. I'll put the tool in the T2/T3 description so that if someone really wants a specific portrait they can recrop it. Thank you!
Please add a warning or remove the Eldritch Arcana link.
1. Your link leads to an outdated mod version, but even the updated version has several bugs. Your linked version causes a memory leak and crashing. 2. Eldritch Arcana saves are incompatible with base-game saves due to all the other changes the mod makes. If you find out halfway through a playthrough that the game is crashing your PC because of that mod, you have to restart from scratch or suffer the crashes. 3. The mod itself is superceded almost entirely by Call of the Wild, with only the profile pic preview being unique it seems.
I think a better route would be to point people towards the thumbnail index/collage only. The in-game feature is nice, but it's not worth all the bugs that come with Eldritch Arcana. Especially since your mod is simply for portraits; the inclusion of a mod that causes incompatible saves NEEDS a warning.
The file structure of this mod is... really awful. If you're going to hawk XYplorer to navigate it, consider also including a script for XYplorer that will install the damn mod. The concept is super simple: find the bottom of the file structure, move up one step, select all, move to filepath. But I and many others, judging by the comments, do not have time to learn XYplorer's scripting language and figure out which functions we need to string together and how to automate the process.
Absolutely. The organization, is garbage. Organize the thumbnail galleries if you want, don't make your mod difficult to install for the benefit of nobody.
Holy s#*!, I thought you were being ungrateful at first but I have to go in and pull files from every one of the subfolders manually to put into my portraits folder? It's so bad I literally don't care enough to do it anymore. This is like the mod maker went "what's the most irritating way to distribute the mod after I put so much work into gathering it? Hmm, how about 50 download links and then 500 subfolders that they have to pull the files from manually to use!"
Seriously, there's ONE portrait I want, and I am STILL LOOKING FOR IT even though it is supposed to be organized by the thumbnails and stuff. Just want the tower shield specialist portrait and even the folders named TOWER SHIELD SPECIALIST don't have it.
I'm a newb. I just want to make sure I'm understanding this correctly. You have use another program to open the files downloaded and then move the individual portrait you wish to use into it's own folder? Right now it's not working for me.
No. You have to place them in your game's Portraits folder, at C:\Users\username\AppData\LocalLow\Owlcat Games\Pathfinder Kingmaker\Portraits. You can stash all of the files there if you want, but the game won't be able to see them while they're still in their group folders. It also can't really handle a ton of images at once, so if you know that you want to be an Aasimar female with wings, then go to Aasimar folder and grab all of the folders for females and place them directly in the Portraits folder. So for example, when I look in my C:\Users\username\AppData\LocalLow\Owlcat Games\Pathfinder Kingmaker\Portraits folder, this is what I see:
Then when I open the game, when selecting my character's portrait there's a tiny little icon that I can click on that will take me to my portraits folder where I can sort through my pictures until I find the one I want to use.
I've just downloaded the tier 1 portraits today (all of them). Some of them are nothing special to okay, others made me gasp in wonder. All in all, a solid collection and my thanks to all the artists.
Great selection! Takes a bit of time to sort through, but the folder organization, helpfully labeled index images, etc. are well done. Thanks for this!
At a broad explanation, AlexiousITA: A) Open up Kingmaker (or Wrath of the Righteous) and start a new game to get to the point where you can pick your portrait - there should be an option to select a custom portrait that will allow you to open the relevant file location. The file location is buried under App Data, so you want to find it through here. This can be done at any point, but I'd suggest doing it beforehand.
1) Download the selection that you want to pull from, and put the files in a space you can keep it sorted without them getting all over the place. 2) Unzip the file(s), preferably extracting them into their own folders. 3) Use the provided 'large image' with the portraits to identify the ones that you want. You can reference the Small one as well, but IMO looking at the large ones is better. You probably will want to zoom in on these. If you just want to dump them all in, you can skip sorting the ones you really want. 4) Find the folder from the download with the same file name (for example, if you want the human female barbarian armored hulk who has a stop sign for a shield, copy folder HE-BA-AH-F101). This can get a bit tedious if you are actually picking and choosing, so you might want to decide which ones you want in a category and then select all of them at once. 5) Copy this into the appdata folder that you found in Step A (if you haven't opened it yet, you need to do it now). If all goes well, you should be able to reload in-game and see the portraits appear. Keep in mind that you need to load the portraits as a folder, not open the folder and copy the files individually!
--- Anyways, fully agree with 'time to sort through but the index organization is well done'. And it's got a mix of everything, so you can always pick and choose what you want. Gave me plenty of fun portraits for WotR, and if I go back to KM later I'll definitely use these too!
Is all of this broken? Just wanted to download the Human/Elf ones (HE MF DW M102 to be exact one I was looking for) and after downloading/extracting all I had was HE Ranger F's and only like a handful. So I downloaded the "Full" mod and I got a handful of Aasimer.

Are you really that desperate?

Why is it that almost every single mod I try using for this game breaks something completely?
