thanks for the cute girls

Okay nevermind i found a few i just missed em! I now respect the mod more thankies!

It doesn't look like there's any half-orc ones :( I dunno if maybe i missed one but it's really sad. Represent us orcs!

Yesssss someone that hates anime as much as me! xD xD xD xD why am I so prejudice against anime anyways

There's a very, very old bug from the start of neverwinter involved with portraits. If everything is not done EXACTLY the way the stock portraits are done(And I do not know the exact parameters as to why) there's a chance a character portrait will become corrupt upon any save game creation. I've just encountered this bug of my own and lost a couple dozen hours of a character. While I have the utmost respect for modders and esepcially those who still reply to long-gone games whose devs have abandoned them, I generally would tell most everyone to never download a portrait mod because they could never squash this bug.

Perhaps that is your current issue.

Hm, that's weird, I haven't changed anything with the packs for a while so it must be a new Beamdog patch causing the issues. I know previously we had an issue with how I was saving the portraits, essentially causing them to crash because I'd chosen the wrong compression options, but I re-did all of them to fix that (Perhaps this one slipped the net?).

It's possible it somehow got corrupted steam side? If you can give me the specific filename of the one you're having issues with (if you can find it!) then I should be able to check and see what the issue is. I can't seem to reproduce it, but I wonder if that's because I have all of the files locally, rather than via steam.

Thanks for reporting!

Also, just to be clear, I can reproduce this crash 100% of the time.

Even with your mod installed, the game is fine. If you create a character using a vanilla portrait, there's no problem at all.

But once you make one using that specific portrait, you can no longer access the load screen.

Just a heads up, here's the link to a warning about custom portraits that I posted.
https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/app/704450/discussions/0/3272436852832095704/

I still haven't had a chance to try out the other portraits in your female pack to see if others cause this problem, but the Asian one near the bottom definitely does. (Shame too, because it's absolutely perfect for a character of mine. I love both your packs overall.)

Hi there. I've used your portrait packs for a long time, but I'm sorry to report that it appears something has recently changed so that your portraits essentially break the game completely.

I've tested, double-tested, and triple tested this, under all sorts of conditions - with mods and without. I don't know what new "thing" has occurred to cause this to happen, but if a player makes a character using one your portraits, then they save the game, the game will immediately crash if they try to load it.

What's happening is, the load preview is trying to display the character portrait, and there's just something about it in the preview that it doesn't like. I don't know if this occurs with all portraits, or just some. Specifically, it's happening with the Asian female portrait, towards the bottom of the list. I haven't tried the other females yet, and I haven't encountered this problem at all with the male portraits so far.

Welp i take it back i had to take off your Male collection to see the female one.
Guess it won't work for me then.

Apparently i had too much, i unsubscribed from Narfell's one and now i see yours.

Try unsubscribing then resubscribing. For some reason if you have 'too many' portraits, the game just sort of decides which ones you can have on a whim.

i downloaded both this pack and the male one and i still only see the Narfell's pack portraits. No new ones. How comes ?

Fantastic. Been looking for a good basic pack not filled with garbage for a while. This has PERFECT portraits for all of my favorite characters.

i had no clue who Luis Royo was. i looked him up and now i do. and i wish i hadn't.

Added 60 new portraits - sorry it's taken so long!

I've also started naming them differently, so hopefully it should be organised by race, now. I've left previous legacy portraits unchanged however to preserve the people who already use a portrait in game. Let me know if you'd prefer they were changed, and I'll update and add a list of old > new names.

Portraits folder is
Users\*YOURPROFILE*\Documents\Neverwinter Nights\portraits
The game will use the Steam\steamapps\workshop\content folder by default unless you were to manually move them

You will find steam items in the following directory:
Steam\steamapps\workshop\content

There are folders in there that a numbered related to game ID #s, you will have to look through them to find it, or if you know your NWN:EE game ID # then it may be quicker.

I have found that if I am in offline mode, NWN content does not show. You can however manually move/install the files from the content folder into the game/user profile directories and that should fix that.

Well, found where nwnee workshop content is downloaded to if anyone still cares - %installpath%\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\704450 (Obviously use your own install path). Can copy them from there to \portraits to ensure they stick around.

Thanks @AdreannaDrea People are praising the use of Steam to subscribe to items but it's a crapshoot. Items work in game one day, and gone the next. It's a "steam"ing pile for NwNEE if you ask me, cause I certainly don't have this issue with Skyrim's subscribed items.. SMH

Nope, just tried creating a new character, no extra portraits. Unsubscribed and subscribed and it still doesn't work. No clue.

@Octopus Pancake - I have no idea where they go either, they don't download to the portrait folder anyway. I can still see the portraits in game however - try booting it up and checking if they're in character creation?

@Emeraq - I've just uploaded both packs to the vault for you. You can find them here: https://neverwintervault.org/project/nwn1/images/portrait/adreannadreas-portrait-collections

Hopefully this helps!

Is this available on nwnvault? Steam downloads it, lets me use it on character creation but every time I load after that.. I've got the missing portrait deafult... I hate steam, it is doing this on just about everything I subscribe too.. works fine one day, doesn't any other day after that!!!!!

For some odd reason this pack does not work. There is nothing in my portrait folder and I have no clue where the files are downloaded to.

cool mod keep it up (:

Thank you! I'm glad you love them. I do try to keep styling consistant, so as to portray a character that fits in with the original portraits, and also try to choose a lot of ambiguous ones too - ones that purely portray what the character looks like, not necessarily what weapon they choose or what class they are.

Of course there are still plenty more thematically chosen in there too, but I try to focus most of my efforts on choosing those that are, above all, interesting.

I absolutely LOVE these. The hardest decision of my life is deciding which one I like best for my character. I also really like that they all fit into the same style, so it doesn't feel like my character's image is oversaturated or too sketch-y. Great job choosing these!

It's something I'm looking into. Looks like I need to edit the 2da files but I'm not sure if it would conflict with each other, as I'd need to make two for both my packs. I'm definitely working on it and if anyone has any info, please let me know.

For now, if it bothers you, the best thing to do is to unsubscribe to whichever gender you don't intend to make as a character briefly, make your character, then resubscribe to the pack in order to see the portraits in game.

Your is working but female and man mess with each other, could you make female appear only to female choice characters ?

Created a new male portrait pack, found here: http://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1350539348

Currently only 77 portraits, but will update periodically.

Okay, after re-doing all af the portraits in my collection, I think I found the solution to the crash-on-load problem.

First, unsubscribe then re-subscribe to the portrait collection - I'm not sure if this step is 100% necessary, but it can't hurt to try. Next, head to wherever your save file for NWN EE is - mine for example is located here:

C:\Users\YourUserName\Documents\Neverwinter Nights\saves

Delete any save files in there, this will be what crashes your game when you try to open up your saved file.

Next, attempt to create a new game and use a custom portrait - save, exit, re-load and try to boot the save game. In my own tests everything seemed to work fine after I did all this.

Hopefully, that should work, and you should be able to use my custom portraits again for offline games.

Thank you so much! I know a group of people who are really hype and excited to use these <3

Looks like it's the compression that's the problem. I'll have to manually redo all the portraits and fix them up - I'll get to work on it!

Con: The game seems to crash on trying to load a save with these portraits.
Pro: The portaits are really nice work!

Would love to know when this has been fixed!

And also, you have to go into your documents to manually delete the save file. You are officially unable to save over the bugged file or re-load it(or load ANY save for that matter) once you have saved a file with one of these portraits.

Ah yeah, like TJ said I just tested this and it crashes for me too. I'm not sure if anyone else has this issue or if it's a particular issue of some kind. That sucks cuz I really loved these :(

I really like those portraits but i figured out that when i use them save a game and go back too load the game it crashes if i use one of them :c do you have any idea why this happens or how i can fix it?

Oh, I wasn't trying to ask you to do anything! It was just on my mind from creating a character shortly before seeing & subscribing to this. Nearly 300 portraits in the QFPP and it seems that about 2/3s of them are female (and a good bit more varied than the males, at that). Thank you, though. If I knew how to do it I'd just grab something off Google like I do with Baldur's Gate.

I usually only play female characters, so I tend to make portraits based around that, but I'll totally make a male portrait pack for you! Won't be until after Easter though - ETA maybe 15th April?

Good stuff. Hopefully there'll be a male pack like it soon. Other packs have a few but they tend to be pretty slanted towards female portraits. Understandable but still a bit annoying when you're looking for a portrait for your male character that will work and pass by 12 female portraits that would be perfect for what you're planning.

Thanks for sharing
