Is there a mod to remove the elven trait? I just want the portraits.

At least allow us to remove that trait.

nah it was fine, i just kinda forgot about it again, and then the holidays hit and ye..

@Daniellm Apologies if I didn't make it clear enough in my post, that little thing about the new folders. TMany thanks for the update and fixes!

Would it be possible to dissociate the the portraits from the elven trait so one could stick to vanilla traits? Thanks.

what an embarrassing mistake lol.

it has been fixed, mod is actually working now (tested)

Your mod doesn't have portrait_categories and portrait_sets folders.

mod updated to 3.13 :)

no need for advice, i've simply just forgotten to update the mod after OG did so

i'll get around to it eventually

Regarding the changes in May's update that affected plenty portrait mods.I found this advice elsewhere. I'm posting it here in case it helps:

In mod/common create 2 new folders portrait_sets and portrait_categories, each should have a .txt file speciesname_foldername, this is in addition to the species_classes folder

species_classes - only required when making new modded categories (ie not human, mamalian, etc.)
delete everything in this file except:
classname = {
archetype = ""
possible = ""
graphical_culture = ""
move_pop_sound_effect = ""

speciesname_portrait_set - Syntax
speciesname = {
Species_class = |speciesclass| (vanilla or modded)
portraits = {
"|portraitgroup|" (quotes required, found in mod/gfx/portraits/portraits .txt file under portrait_groups
}
}

speciesname_portrait_categories - Syntax
speciesname| = {
name = |speciesclass|
sets = {
|portraitgroup| (no quotes)
}
}

I'll update it later, didn't know OG mod had already updated

Update please

I'm quite certain the namelists exists in this mod as well

What about the Elvin Names lists? Or is this just a Elvin portrait/trait file?

mod has been updated, drow now uses the elven trait as well to stop the negative trait spam

after all these months i am actually aware as to why it happens, i just have't updated this mod because i've been busy with my main project, once i'm finish with that (2 weeks time) i'll be updating this with a fix

(As in the Leader Minimum Age in the Traits)

@Daniellm It's because the leader Minimum age is increased, without a mod like this https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3035625716 or to a lesser extent the Ariphos unofficial Patch or even just spamming -maximum leader negative traits through other traits or traditions, they tend to spawn with and gain far to many negative traits.

I'm still not denying anyone's experience outside of that there's nothing in the code that should do that

And I'm not updating the mod before the original has updated :p

Can confirm that dark elves are spammed with negative traits during gameplay.

Well at least i'm not going crazy, other people have the same issue.
Why this happens, i have no idea. I thought it might have something to do with the trait, but if you checked the code and there's nothing there, i have no idea where this comes from.
What i find werid is that it only happens to the Dark Elves.

this mystery is beyond my understanding lmao

i mean, i literally checked the code just to be sure, and there's nothing there, hence why i can deny any hidden modifiers but... sure is interesting

tbh i kinda made a similar expirence with Dark elves. started a new game and like 5-6 month in 2 or 3 leaders already started to have negative traits. while with "normal" elves the first negative trait comes in earliest like 50 years in, or when they are Lv10 for some time

i'm not denying your experiences, but there's nothing in the code of this mod, that would effect leader traits, nor is there "a hidden modifier making x more likely to gain it"

as to why this is happening to the 2 of you, i cannot say

i've created several exact races, same traits, origins, ethics. The only difference is the portraits. I've used Vanilla, elves, dark elves, and others from another portrait mod.
Again, the dark elves get tons of negative traits while the others don't.
The only explanation i have is that the dark elven trait they get has some hidden stat to get negative traits, but i don't know how to check it to be sure

I have the same issue than Agiond here, if i play with the dark elves, they all gain bad traits, all the time. I change the portait, i put the normal elves, and all is fine, no bad traits at sight.

pretty sure you can't get a portrait to get more negative traits than others, especially considering this hasn't even been updated to any new version

I think the Dark Elves portrait has some innate bug. Leaders get lots of negative traits, way more than any other race in the game. Tested it playing it myself and having the AI play it.
Normal elves are fine tho. It's just the Dark Elves

yeah tried everything to make sure, role back to 3.8.2. and the issue is gone

Uh, that sounds very weird, I've been busy with other projects lately but I'll try to look into it

since yesterdays patch (30.05.2023) the psionic trait randomizes the Rulers Portrait - ONLY the Ruler, other leaders are unaffected (like the Heir if Imperial)
very frustrating...

doesn't matter

where should this be place in the load order, above ui? below shipsets?

yes

Work on 3.7?

updated for 3.6.1

updated to 3.5

can you remove the elven trait from the race?

that would be very easy to do actually, but since i don't personally use them, i won't ask TheGrandN for permission to do so

Would be really cool to have something like this for the ship sets.
