Tired of your ruler always striking the same pose, regardless of whether they're celebrating a victory, mourning a loss, or plotting a murder? Dynamic Family Portrait breathes life into your characters by making their idle stances change dynamically based on their personality, circumstances, and actions. Witness your ruler's portrait transform into a true reflection of their inner state and current endeavors.
-> The mod also adds your Waifu and Heir to the hud, with dynamic idle poses!

Inspired by Change Idle Pose, this mod arose from the following question: What if my characters' portraits changed dynamically? Why isn't this a feature in the base game? Well, putting the pieces together, I created this mod. It's simple and functional, but not "perfect" (since the base game doesn't include smooth transitions).

-> Also introduces a larger player portrait and enhances characters appearances with adjusted brightness for fairer, more natural skin tones (borrowed from Simple Graphic Pack)

• A Truly Dynamic Portrait: Your character's pose is no longer static. Every few months, the mod evaluates your ruler's situation and selects a fitting new idle animation from a vast library of possibilities. This system ensures your character's appearance stays fresh and relevant to their story.
  
  
• Waifu and Children: Your primary spouse and primary heir (only if they are also your child) will also be displayed in the interface, with dynamic idle poses corresponding to their age and personality.
  
  
• Bigger Portrait & Fairer Skin: To better appreciate these new dynamic poses, the mod increases the size of the main player portrait. Additionally, subtle brightness adjustments have been made to create fairer and more vibrant skin tones for all characters, enhancing their visual appeal.

• This mod is designed to be broadly compatible with other mods.
  
• Replaces "hud.gui" to add the spouse portrait. Not sure if its commonly replaced.
  
• Replaces "animations.txt", conflicting with AGOT (and maybe other fantasy TCs)
  
• Compatible with EPE, CFP, RICE, etc (These mods dont replace "animations.txt")
  
• NOT Compatible with Change Idle Pose. Both mods change "animations.txt"
  
• No DLC required. Safe to add to an existing save game.
