Mass Effect Animated Portraits and Prescripts (Achievements Compatible)

Latest update: 3.6.*
DLC Level: All up to Necroids

IMPORTANT: Please subscribe the required asset mod and load it before this mod.

- All portraits are ANIMATED
- DOES NOT MODIFY CHECKSUM. IRONMAN AND ACHIEVEMENTS ARE COMPATIBLE!

Hard DLC requirements:
- Synthetic Dawn for Geth and LOKI Mech,
- Necroids for Collector and Kett.
(Without the DLC, the Portraits of these species won't show up.)

Soft DLC requirements:
- Utopia for Rachni and Thorian.
- MegaCorp for Cerberus, Volus and Drell.
- Federations for Asari, Quarian, Drell, Yagh and Angara.
- Necroids for Krogan, Quarian and Thorian.
(Without the DLC, the portraits will show up but without the Prescripts. You may try to make your own Prescripts with the Portraits.)

Update on 16th April:
- Removed all alternative Prescript Empires. Now I am only keeping the 22 playable ones.
- Now supports Gene-modding, Half-Species with funny names, as long as the base Species has the corresponding Mass Effect Species name

NOTICE: Removed all knock-offs. If it requires DLC to play and you don't have the corresponding one, you can't see the Prescript. You can then try to create your own version of empire to play.

Features:
- Mass Effect Species and chosen Vanilla Species share the same Portrait Groups. Two Species of the same Portrait Group can coexist without conflicts
- 22 Prescripted Empires
- Alliance and Cerberus outfits
- Illusive Eyes for Cerberus Leaders
- Husks for Geth Heretics
- Biotic Gods for Psionic Volus (or Substance Abuser)
- Mass Effect Flags

Usage notes:
- If you want your whole Galaxy to spawn all Mass Effect Empires, go to each Prescript Empire and Save a copy. Set it to Force Spawn and start your game with at least 21 AI Empires
- Now this mod supports Gene-modding, Half-Species with funny names. As long as the base Species has the corresponding Mass Effect Species name, all Sub-Species will look accordingly.
- Feel free to use existing resources to create new Empires of your designs. I only update the prescripts and should not interfere with how you design new Empires.
- Empires saved out of Systems Alliance, Cerberus and both Geth Empires have corresponding "gameplay flags". In short, some portrait changes check for these gameplay flags. So you may experiment with them.

Known issues
- If your species has a Portrait change due to the events in Worm-in-Waiting, you may have a different Mass Effect Portrait displayed at the Load Game screen. But it should become normal again after loading the game.

Change Notes are now shown in the tab of Change Notes.
