Hey to anyone reading this - yes, I am working on this for 1.6!
I apologize, I haven't been playing Stardew Valley lately (since before the 1.6 update for sure.) However, to echo Felixforma's comment below, I also use KateKat's portrait mod exclusively and have been for years. I really can't imagine using anything else at this point.
I'm not sure whether Katekat is active anymore, or if they have any plans to be. However, since I received their blessing initially to create and add the beach versions of their portraits, I feel comfortable in predicting that they would also be okay with me creating winter ones (as long as it is with the understanding that my work is simply an extension of Katekat's original portraits, which I would NEVER have the creativity or patience to come up with!!)
This will be a lot of work - not only do winter portrait clothes need to be created from scratch, but other portraits - including the beach ones for some characters - were also updated or expanded in 1.6. So I will need to go through and check that nothing is missed.
I will post updates as I make progress. Thanks for your patience!
****************UPDATE 10/3/24: ALL WINTER PORTRAITS ARE COMPLETE!
If any other portraits (regular, beach, etc) have changed with the 1.6 update, please shoot me a message so I can update those as well. I caught a few but may have missed some.
I am super glad to do this and don't need any sort of thanks - however, if you'd like to or are curious, you can check out my art at:
www.danielrlanza.art
Feel free to message me there if you have any questions about the Portraits (I am NOT likely to see a message here), and you can also leave me a tip if you are so inclined - it is NOT NECESSARY but deeply appreciated.
Could someone try this link and let me know if you can access the folder with the updated portraits? (It's the same folder I used to store the beach portraits after 1.5, I'm just sharing it again and trying to bump this back to the top of the message board)
Hi everyone! I am a big fan of Katekat's portraits mod. As a tribute to her work, I decided to make beach variants of SV's character portraits (added with the 1.5 update.) I am sharing them here with Katekat's permission :]
Beach variants can be found here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1_MyDbQZtM07ifyxedX1IgPI8nfZNQSoQ?usp=sharing
I used the "no stache Harvey" and "alt Abigail" variants, as these are the ones I personally use in my game. Please see the mod's front page for instructions for installation (simply drag the .xnb files into the appropriate folder. For me, this folder is located at:
(C:) > Program Files (x86) > Steam > SteamApps > Common > Stardew Valley > Content > Portraits
Remember to back up your original portrait files!
Thanks again so much to Katekat for her portrait mod; in my opinion it's the best one out there!
*****************************
**Update** I also added new sprites which match Katekat's portraits: Demetrius/Demetrius Beach (includes his salt & pepper hair and glasses) Harvey Beach (to match his original/updated beach portraits, which give him a green ribbon on his straw hat)
These sprites are found here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Vadpt92_zelQutBNgN875lu1A80iPSKl?usp=sharing
*For the sprites, you want to copy these to the 'Characters' folder, NOT the 'Portraits' folder!*
Hi, Daniel! I just wanted to say you are SO appreciated for this!! (Even in 2024!) I've been using these portraits for probably 5+ years now, but I didn't realize someone had added the summer versions! Thank you so much! I have to ask -- do you happen to have any plans of doing the Winter versions someday? I don't know if katekat is still active, but seeing the Winter portraits from either of you would be a dream come true!!
I unfortunately do not know how to make a CP-friendly version, I apologize. I might be able to figure it out in the future, or perhaps someone else would be kind enough to step in and help with that!
I dont know if its allowed, but i Updatet the Portraits to 1.14 With the "no stache" Harvey and "alt" Abigail versions. (if you wanna have the other versions just download the normal mod and replace the files in my Ordner. You can download the updated mod on dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/wpdzjjquvri1x01/AABTtpnNy6t94iiR0FSn4xYTa?dl=0 Were added: -Sam 14 <3 Event portaits -Penny 14 <3 Event Portrait -Trenchcoat Krobus Have fun :)
Does this mod not work anymore? I took the xnb files and overwrote my original game files, but nothing happened? Seems bizarre, unless I somehow did something wrong. I do have other mods running, but to my knowledge, none should've changed the portraits, so I'm very confused!
Edit: I followed the instructions in the bug reports to fix the Content Patcher version!

Great work on the portraits. Best I have seen so far.
