It would be cool to have the portraits of the Synthetics of Alien, you know? Weyland & Yutani?
David 8? Alien Prometheus? That stuff...

Doesn't work anymore

Honestly all portrait mods have this issue with Stellaris being oddly hostile to modding attempts.

Doesn't work.

How hard is it to just make the portraits? I have only once ever been able to get this mod or its previous versions to work, years ago. This mod absolutely refuses to work with almost every mod in existence because it insists on being infinitely more than just portraits.

I absolutely loathe this mod for the suffering it puts me and others through.

Wonderful work - I have included parts of your mod in mine but then got banned for not asking for permissions. Do you have any objections to your work being included in mine? I have already added you to the credits list.

is it 3.3 compatible

dos this work?

Never been able to get this mod to work. Usually just doesn't work or causes terrible bugs like making all Synthetics/Robots unmoddable.

Not achievement compatible.

For those who still play Stellaris 2.1: I created a new AI mod which is based on Glavius's work, but my mod goes much deeper and have a lot of unique features, leading to much better AI. And also I update it quite often, adding new stuff.

Thank you!

@MechaShadowV2
There could be any number of reasons. Nature, nurture, or that the internet brings out the worst in people. Your guess is as good as mine.
Despite being grumpy, I believe that I did in fact write something helpful, and not just criticize.

Anything else you wanna bring up, from under your bridge?

@Soul0 why are you so grumpy, like you said, there has been major changes.

2.7 update?

This one

Have you guys even tried playing with the mod, or read recent comments, before complaining about lacking update or asking whether it works?
This is a purely cosmetic mod, so unless something major is changed in the recent game patches, it should still work.

Hint : major changes have been made. Which should be fairly obvious from this thread.
As I recall the mod broke around the 2.3 patch.

There are several mods deriving from/keeping alive silfae 's great work, here on the workshop.
He has been gone for over two years now. Which you would know, if you had just read a few of the latest posts here, or the mod update history. So i wouldn't hold my breath for him reviving this mod.

To the best of my knowledge, the mod that Raffaele has linked in the discussion still works, despite the Mod name, and what the launcher says.
Else there is this one.
if none work, I've seen several others just now. It would surprise me if none work.

update plead

does this work with 2.6.1?

2.5 ?

@ashgabriel12345 @Evil_Lord_Proteus @alex_dt83 @Ajey Dear all, I just made an update for this amazing mod, please come and check it out in my workshop, or search Animated Humanoid Synthetic Portraits Update for 2.3 directly.

Does this work with 2.2?

@Sovereign. I just had a look. The link works fine here.

Try right clicking the link Image -> Copy -> Paste into your browser.

Hey the link to your book does not work for me. Maybe check it out if it is broken for all or if it is just me. Have a nice one mate.

Mod doesn't seem to be working, unless the portraits not showing up is because of the Robomodding mod I am using.

this mod need to be updated

Same @Ajey

also wished this mod was alive, dont like the other alternatives (incl. the expanded edition)

I wish this mod wasn't dead... It looks so great!

needs to be updated

Hair is fucked

Look at the date it was last updated.

or can it be

is this mod updated to 2.1.1

Any recommended fixes for the Limbo problem?

aaaand I was wrong. You have to modify the files, so that the portraits are lumped in with robots in general, which isn't hard, but has to be modified in the files for the mod.

I found if you use expanded gene modding when you upgrade race it will ask if you want to rename or choose a portrait, it ALSO works with robots/synths, so you can switch over to these if you want to.

@Sabaithal
This mod has always had problems since Synthetic Dawn. Most if not all Synthetic portrait mods do. Something to do with something Paradox did to Synthetic race files. It's a shame because the Synthetics in this mod look absolutely fantastic.

Yep, experienced the Limbo problem just yesterday...

Does anyone have the problem that after you research the Limbo Project the new Limbo-Robots have no Picture?

Doesn't seem to work at all with the 2.0 update. Robot pops are modified, but droids and humanoid synths are untouched.

For some reason on the humanoid synthetic portrait, the hair is all messed up. Its quite silly! But a bit annoying. I suspect this may be due to another mod conflict. Has anyone experienced this?

Might I suggest a portrait that does not imply any particular existing physiology? For example, drones, spheres, or other neutral shape. When I go for Synthethic Evolution as a multicultural empire and I begin assimilating the different species, such a neutral and unified shape would make sense IMO.

Does this work for 2.0.X or the new expasion?

Does this affect achievements?

Is there going to be an update for 2.0.X?

great mod! THX
can i somehow use the portaits, you use for normal Synthetics, for my species after Ascension? :)

Any chance you update it to not have the pesky red ! on my modlist? i know it work with 1.9 but i cant really live with that horrible red exclamation mark :P

cant choose the skins for my empire anymore :( only synths look like the bottom right now and droids help ;-;

sorry if it's too much to ask, but would you be willing to make a version for synthetic dawn/uptopia players serperately?

I'd rather not, since that would make the mod unusable by people who don't own the DLC. I'll look into the issue.

Just this one.
It interacts strangely with normal synthetic empires. When the portrait is swapped, it does strange things to the machine templates.
Considering the new system in place and the way you can swap machine appearances whenever you upgrade them anyway, have you considered reworking these portraits into a pack for the machine species type?
