I use a heavily modified More Bloodlines submod, with some new strong seed houses, just want to make something clear before i try and make a compatch, your portraits only use your assets right? Hair or beard already in the game, vanilla or added by anoter mod, are not used on your portraits, right? I can mod just about everything in game, but i never paid much attention to portrait modding.

Hair or beard already in the game, vanilla or added by anoter mod, are not used on your portraits, right? I can mod just about everything in game, but i never paid much attention to portrait modding. Correct. Every culture that I've modified now use mostly custom assets, beyond a few still-vanilla layers like pale, hairlip, masks, some eyepatches and a few other overlays which I'll eventually replace as well. Most of them technically use "vanilla" hair, at least for now, but I still hand picked each set of hair and compiled them to .dds files which are only in my submod, because I wanted to use all 27 available hair slots per culture instead of vanilla's dozen or so.
The first file to edit for a compatch with pretty much any other submod is portrait_properties.txt, given some of the changes I've made like adding more clothing, hair and beard slots, and removing certain portrait background restrictions to cultures like the Ironborn and Dothraki given I've got culture specific backgrounds now. You'd also possibly have to modify each .gfx file, ie for the MB compatch I've included, it required I append the "GFX_character_shoulder:p38" layer to each gender and age stage in every .gfx file. There's a few culture files that need editing as well, if the submod you're making it compatible with edits the same files, given that some of them had no individual graphical_cultures of their own and I had to create new ones for them.
You probably already know this if you've done any extensive modding already, but there's a bunch of compare programs you can get to see what I've changed compared to vanilla and then make patches for other submods with relative ease, ie Notepad++ with the Compare addon.

Thanks for compatches, it works great. Do you plan to make one for CBBT and HfH as well? And will you expand the amount of custom armors and helmets in the future?

For the short term, I only plan to compatch AGOT Mixed Cultures & Religions Mod, and that'll likely be once I've got the Ghiscari and Summer Islanders in. I do plan to add patches for pretty much all the major submods though, and possibly one large patch that ties them all together with my mod. It won't be until I'm pretty much finished though.
I'm not sure about more armors. There's maybe 3 or 4 spare clothing slots that I could use, and a dozen headgear slots. I haven't decided what to do with them yet, though I'd like to add more crowns per culture.

Hello! could you please make a compatch between this mod and Floppys Cripples bastards and Broken things? it adds so much flavor and bloodlines(such as rhaneys, visenya and Daemon) to the game that it feels naked playing without it. I know it might not be a mod you use personally but i really like your portraits over face modification and i just want to use my two favorite mods together .  |

Awesome, thank you for the alternate download link! This is a brilliant mod, you've done some epic work XD
Do you plan on doing a patch so it can be used with Cripples, Bastards & Broken Things?

Hey, great mod! I have a small issue though. For some reason, High Valyrian characters still have the same portraits with the base game. What could be the reason? Huh, that's weird. Are you running my mod with vanilla AGOT or are you running it alongside other mods? Also, is it only the High Valyrians that are using the old portraits? The rest are using mine, including Westerosi Valyrians? Same issue with mine, here's my modlist: A Game of Thrones AGOT - Extra Dragon Portraits AGOT - Williams Nicknames AGOT Better Bloodline Search AGO T Congenital Overhaul AGOT Cripples, Bastards, and Broken Things AGOT Custom Cheats AGOT Customize Appearance AGOT Direwolves Expanded AGOT Elvarius' Blood of Ancestors AGOT Mixed Ethnicities AGOT More Bloodlines AGOT More Bookmarks AGOT New Loading Screens AGOT PO Base AGOT PO+CO+MB AGOT Soundtrack AGOT Tino's Tiny Tweaks AGOT Zing Bugfixes AGOT Zing Bugfixes CO AGOT Zing Bugfixes MBS Bigger Interface for Game of Thrones Bye Far East House of The Dragon More Doctrines with Reformation - 4 Osgrey't Again Performance by Trexeth Rich Childhood SCMR for AGoT Swap Child's Destiny Ultimate Tooltip |

The rest are using mine, including Westerosi Valyrians? Same issue with mine, here's my modlist: *snip* Several of those submods are incompatible with both each other and my own mod, and you can't stack compatibility patches from separate mods like that either. They don't combine, they replace files from one or the other. |

Alright, back to work on the mod from the Christmas/New Year break.
Started adding enhanced child portraits. So while these are still static like the vanilla child portraits, you get 27 per culture and gender instead of the 1, and the hair and eyes will be the same color as their adulthood counterparts. Also got some fancy backgrounds for them, including unique backgrounds for each Andal subculture that try and reflect the region, something I'll be adding to the adult portraits soon as well. Also, they're optional, so you can still use the old vanilla style ones if you wish.
It should be noted that I got the idea for these child portraits from Nendur's Better Looking Garbs, which is a fantastic mod. Full credit for the method of implementation goes to Nendur, never would have figured it out myself.
I've also added Summer Isles and Ghiscari portraits. Ghiscari are incomplete as I'm still working on the hair, but the SI have entirely custom hair sets as well as their fancy feathered cloaks.
Current pass will be adding enhanced child portraits for the rest of the currently implemented cultures, as well as replacing all the vanilla hair sets in the game and possibly the beards. I definitely want to modify the 15-30 age range beards and make them smaller/less bushy for most cultures, since it's weird seeing 15 year olds with huge beards. Idea would be to have them start small and grow in after the 30+ stage. After that, I'll be moving back to new portrait sets (Sarnor/Ibben/East, etc).

I am noticing that the lengi, farosi, maroqi and naathi on my end have empty portraits when just running AGOT and PO, is this just on my end?

Awesome update! Quick question though, are the Dornish children portraits suppose to be all vanilla? Before this update some of them had the Martell dynasty portrait, but most were vanilla. now all are vanilla. just wondering, thank you!

Are you sure you're not running any other submods? And did you delete the old version of PO before updating? Awesome update! Quick question though, are the Dornish children portraits suppose to be all vanilla? Before this update some of them had the Martell dynasty portrait, but most were vanilla. now all are vanilla. just wondering, thank you! Yeah, that's my bad. That should only happen if you're using the new enhanced portraits submod. I got lazy with re-adding the old Dornish/Iron Isles child portraits to the enhanced submod given I'm working on the new ones as we speak.
