For most Vanilla spouses, there is an addon in The Farmer's Children downloads Miscellaneous files. I recommend downloading the one you want and then replacing the portrait .png from this replacer. that way the character looks like vanilla spouse as well.
If you make a character edit for the modded NPC Spouse, then you wouldn't need to replace anything. Just make a new folder with a new name. Just make sure the config matches this new folder name.
As of version 2.0.0 this has been added, you now only need to drag and drop this mod in the original '[NPC] The Farmer's Children Art - Standard' to get access to the new hairs in the config.
I had a look at the Unique Children Talk page and yes it seems you can add your own images to change the portraits from being the sprites. You'll just have to follow the instructions on the Unique Children Talk description page to get it to work.
so if you want Ian's hair color for your daughter you would need to
go to [NPC] The Farmer's Children Art - Standard/assets/Portraits/Female/ make a new folder. Name it Ian go to Nyapu Hair Compatibility Patch - The Farmers Children/Portraits/Female copy Ian.png and IanW.png paste it in The Farmer's Children Art - Standard/assets/Portraits/Female/Ian rename IanW.png to Winter.png
go to [NPC] The Farmer's Children Art - Standard/assets/Characters/Female make new folder called Ian go to Nyapu Hair Compatibility Patch - The Farmers Children/Overworld Hair Sprites/Female copy Ian.png and Ian_Winter.png paste in [NPC] The Farmer's Children Art - Standard/assets/Characters/Female/Ian rename Ian_Winter.png to Winter.png
repeat this process for Male so your son can match
in The Farmer's Children Art config change the hair to Ian
repeat this process for all 30 hair colors from this download
Thank you Xiddav! I've overhauled the file structure to match your description so it's a lot easier to add in version 2.0.0. So you no longer have to do this :)
Is it possible to add this mod without using the main Nyapu mod? I think this is very cute for the children, but I use Slightly Cuter for everyone else. I think it'd be a nice mix, if possible?
Yep! It should work :) you'd just need to download the additional .pngs from the original 'Nyapu's The Farmer's Children Art - Standard' (https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/11491?tab=files&file_id=108635) as it doesn't require using nyapu's other portrait mods to work. So you can pair it with any other portrait mod (e.g. Slightly Cuter) and just retexture the children in Nyapu's style
I read through the original installation and realised it didn't make sense so I've edited it to be a bit clearer. You're basically replacing the hairstyle .pngs present in the original mod with the hairstyles in this mod. You'll need to rename the .png/s in this mod in order to replace the original mod's hairstyles (e.g. replacing the Blonde Hairstyle for the Male and Female children to Haley's hairstyle). So even if in-game you choose the 'blonde' hairstyle for your children in-game it will show Haley's hairstyle.
Was desperately looking for some pink hair to match my own farmer, so this works! :D Although I gotta ask, do you plan on making sprites to match the portraits?
Good to know! Fortunately I'll only be using any sprite changes for personal use, so I'll be fine but thanks for the heads up anyway. In fact, I made them just now :)
