this slaps

Hmm I just tried the raptor one and it worked for me

For anyone wondering, the ones which don't work are: Synthetics, Raptor, and Holosphere. I haven't went through a full playthrough yet so it may crash mid game but, for now the rest don't fail instantly on start.

@Mal
Nothing. The update thing is just something in a text file the modders change.

I could develop a mod for version 1.0 of Stellaris and mark is as up-to-date, or develop a mod for 2.2 and mark it as outdated for 1.0.

Just so Everyone that doesn't know does, Silfae is working for Paradox, so big chance that these portraits aren't gonna get updated, luckily Paradox doesn't seem to want to change how custom species and empires are created like they did with Utopia.

Please update to version 2.x.x

I apologize for the stupid question, but what exactly makes this mod not compatible with the new version of the game and does not work? Unfortunately, the author will not come back to update this, so I would like to know if I can fix it myself or rather something from the upper league.

This mod collection looks so interesting that I really would hate it if this person dropped out due to a major update.

Which ones currently work? I know the raptor one is broken.

well, for now the mods still work with the update I believe

Dead author?

Seems like all the major modders are dropping out of Stellaris, lately. Especially with the new update.

Man, these are fantastic

Can we get an Update?

FYI. Most of these portraits work just fine in 2.1, but they break the game in the v2.2 Megacorp expansion. At least the synthetics + raptor ones do, not sure about the rest.

Honestly I am so excited for you, getting hired by Paradox, but will these see an update? I am only asking becuase the alternatives are putting them into the base game or letting the mods fall into obscurity and never be seen again.

heyo^^
I really like those portraits.
Could you please update the Mods for the current version 2.1.1 (Niven) ?
Game keeps annoying me with it's warnings -.-

What happened to the animated Zeriphen portraits?

thx

MrButBut//Holosphere is the one that causes the problem.

After testing a little I found that your mod was causing the infinite pop up bug, I will check if it is one in particular(I have suscribed to all), since I'm playing with others mods I can't be sure if it's some failure caused by your mod itself or some interaction with some other mod.


Apart from that I just come to say that your work is impressive, same or even better quality than the stellaris itself.

so far the animted robots and silicoids work just fine.

Will you be updating these mods for Apocalypse/2.0? I couldn't imagine playing Stellaris without them.

Hey Silfae, you awesome person you! Have you considered creating a Wolf-like animated portrait?

Not quite sure if this has been answered before but I would love to know if when dealing with your mods that add custom ships: can they be used with ISB? I know most of the mods say they're compatible with anything but I just want to confirm.

Just a reminder that you're awesome, and I look forward to your future work. Even if I don't look forward to the new updates.

The new humanoid portraits *really* need a dimorphism update. Good god they dropped the ball on that shit. I hope someday you have the time to work on them, you did great work so far, and my favorite by far is the Aquilese.

@swift paw & @Just Monika I've tested all but "The Hidden Eye" and "Animated Synthetic Expanded" and they are all compatible. The portraits are compatible to almost every update

I would like to know the same thing, just a rough eta would be nice.

ok thanks for geting back with me when is the eta that you can up date the one that are not compatable.

I am really busy in this period, it might be a while since I run through the mods to check them. I would imagine though that most of them are still compatible with the new version.

hay can you up date to 1.9.0

Some else would like a Mega Mod, with all the portraits in one. Because man they took a lot of space in my mods tab and I already have 130+ mods :P

Love all of these animated portrait mods, but anyone else having trouble with them spawning? I created custom empires and clicked the force spawn button, but they never do :(

They feel a bit too narrative and focused; traits and portraits that can fit other empires would be nice too. The Synthetic and Silicoid ones are by far the best imo.

Absolutely fantastic, would love to see an Arctic biome based winter species :P

I wanted to say thank you for your mod packs they make my Stellaris experince much more enjoyable.

Your work is awesome! keep it up!

Hey Silfae, can you do a wolf portraits mod?

Love your mods silfae. I was just wondering though since you're very good at this if you could make an animated walter from alien covenant please?

Thank you, glad you like my work. I occasionally take suggestions, but nothing is set.

Hey Silfae, I don't know if you take requests at all. But, I absolutely love your work and have most if not all of them. I'm a big fan of your Hollow and the Hidden Eye portratis. But anyway, I was wondering if you could possibly do an Elder Thing (From H.P. Lovecraft's work) Or honestly anything lovecraftian and tentacled. Either way, Your work is what I think is one of the best in the Stellaris modding community.

Because you cannot add portraits to the vanilla categories without overriding the vanilla file. If you do that, every portrait mod is incompatible with each other.

I found it distracting that every single one of these is in their own category.
Why are serpents and dinosaurs not in the reptile category?

Any chance of compiling these all into one mega-mod?

@silfae you mate did the best job on this game, have you considered talking with other modders and making a big overhaul mod for people to enjoy? Like in HoI4 we have many examples. Thnx love you mods. Paradox should approach and pay you to put these mods in the game for free like damn an IMPRESSIVE JOB well done.

Unfortunately I'm not capable of creating new meshes/animations. I only create and mount new textures on the vanilla ones and set up the code, there's not much to see. You should be able to understand the process by simply looking inside my mods.

hey do you think you could do a tutorial video on how to animate portraits? I'm an illustrator and would love to help expand the ammount of races avaliable

You go to your game library, right-click on Stellaris, go to the Beta tab and select the 1.8.1 beta.

how do I update to 1.8.1?

If it's updated to 1.8.1 then it's likely another outdated trait-based mod that is causing the issue. My mods alone should work fine with the beta.
