@alankraskow Wonderful!

@SalmonFeet I looked into the mod, the portraits are basically the same only new are the assets. I asked the author if I could add them to the mod, so will have to wait a bit and hope he will answer.

@alankraskow Thank you!

@SalmonFeet I see what I can do.

@alankraskow could you incorporate these portraits?

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2122902758

They are a different version of the 'Human Hive' portraits you already incorporated, but have slightly different looks to them, would be greatly appreciated if so!

@Athena I just checked SE - Restyled and looks like it adds separate category of humans, while my mod overwrites the vanilla ones. So it should work together perfectly fine.

update: did some testing with the help of the mod author, and it turns out the mod is NOT responsible for the lag issue I was having, you can safely use it

@DanielAir not sure how this mod could affect the lag. It's simple texture mod and I haven't experience it myself, nor anyone brought that to me before.
I think I saw you active in Modding Den, I will send u friend request and will try to help figure it out.

I feel like it's all humans.

@DanielAir not sure how this mod could affect performance. I haven't experienced a lag when playing humans and I don't play anything else. Is it all humans? Or specific group?

@Athena I have no idea, never used that mod. But if it overwrites the same files, then there would be problems. If it creates separate human group, then it should work just fine.

Is this compatible with SE - Restyled?

I get insane lag whenever (human) characters are on screen, maybe this mod is responsible?

UPDATE!
Another massive expansion has been added to the mod. Human Legacy now features over 150 clothing options across both male and female portraits. While some are recoloured versions of vanilla outfits, the majority are entirely new designs.
Enjoy!

UPDATE
New Human European Light Grey Eyes - Fix

Light Grey eyes are now a bit more realistic, compared to what they were before. Probably barely noticeable change, but it was driving me nuts lol

If you notice anything that might need fixing or simply have a feedback about certain faces, please don't hesitate from letting me know :)

UPDATE:
New Human Male Bald Head Shadow - Fix
New Human Female Bald Head Shadow - Fix
New Human Female Jawline Shadow - Fix
New Human Male Eyes - Fix
New Human Female Eyes - Fix

On top of these fixes, added few additional faces. Enjoy ^^

@Zendir Heartfire if I could get someone decent at scripting to collaborate, then i think that would be more likely. I'm not much of a programmer myself and I don't find it as fun as graphics or lore writing, so I only learn stuff that I need for my personal games and unfortunately that is not enough to create a good quality content.

But even if so, this would most likely be a standalone mod, that would have dependencies with these portraits. I want all my portraits to be just simple customization which everyone can use the way they want.

Is there any planned origins (7 or more) for Humans?

It's a pleasure, my friend.

@哔哔小子 thanks for kind words and support ^^
Also thank you for the suggestion.
Most of these portraits would require a complete rework, and I'm not sure I would like to do that atm. I have plans for Engineers and Xenomorphs at some point, but for that I will need to wait for my drawing tablet, as I'm working with mouse atm. It's on its way, but it will take some time before I manage to figure it out properly.

Meantime you can get access to my private collection of portraits, which is available only for friends, because I have there plenty of portraits from other authors which I resurrected and also in some cases reworked. So send me a friend request if you like to access them :)

Following the previous message, this is a pity for that mods.Here are some guys try to revive it,but they are disappeared too……

If you are also interested, you can follow these projects，I'd love to do it myself, but I'm a programming rookie
Like you, I like the various races in this game.If you like them too, I'm counting on you，HAHA

HI，bro，Your mods is awesome,I love them so much，they are very detailed，matches the original game style！BEST THXS!
If you want more material for making mods,or you can try to revive these old modules:

and the AddOns： https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1142647596
They are great too, but they are no longer updated.You can check this guy's workshop.

Another massive update finished:
-New Human Vanilla Phenotypes by Lin Nacume - Rework
-New Human Male European Eye Colour Diversity - Fix
-New Human Female European Eye Colour Diversity - Fix

@falph thank you for support and kind words ^^ Glad you enjoy it!

Love this mod, thanks for your hard work!

Another massive update.
European phenotype by Lin Nacume completely reworked.
108 portraits in total now have more accurate skin color.
On top of that more than half of them have been completely replaced.
I left only those that I thought looked nice and had unique features.

Enjoy ^^

Unfortunately more of Lin Nacume portraits require full rework, as they appear too distinct from the rest. This will take some time, because there are around 190 portraits in total and I'm not sure how many of them need full rework, and how many need just skin tone rework. But letting everyone know, so that you don't get put off by the faulty ones.

Another big update today ^^

Deadrick New Human Male - Replacement
Deadrick New Human Female - Replacement
Deadrick Attachments - Refitting

Added 50 new faces in total for New Humans, replacing the last portraits from Deadrick's mod. Now they all are more fitting the vanilla art style.

Also reworked and refitted few of the Deadrick's amazing cyberpunk attachments, which I added to Human Revolution group, making them even more distinctly Cyberpunk themed.

@Futstub yest this is completely safe to add mid game :)

Is this safe to add mid run? I jist started a human playthrough yesterday... D:

This one was a bit exhausting, but I made it lol.
Finished today Deadrick Human Legacy Male - Replacement.
Now all the Human Legacy portraits are made in style very similar to vanilla art.
Human Legacy portraits alone contain now 200 unique faces, divided into 5 phenotypes and 2 genders.

Finished Deadrick Human Legacy Female - Replacement
Now all the females from Human Legacy are made in a style much closer to the original vanilla art.

Thanks to the generosity of another modder, I’ve just added the Human Hive Expansion by NMC. Similar to the Human Revolution, these are included as a separate human branch within the humanoid category. They won’t spawn randomly in the galaxy, meaning they’re only available if you specifically create an empire using them. This approach helps prevent an overabundance of human empires and gives you the opportunity to create distinct, thematic splinter factions.

@ANumeric thank you ^^
I'm really happy so many people enjoy it.
I can assure that it will be more polished over time.
I'm aiming to make it as close to the vanilla portraits as possible.

You are doing great work, amount of human portraits was ridiculously small. Now finally there is some variety, thanks a lot

It was recently brought to my attention that the original name of this mod could potentially interfere with mod load order. To prevent any issues, I’ve changed the name. Sorry for the inconvenience.

QUICK UPDATE PT2
This update might take awhile, because I have around 200 portraits to rework, but I'm committed to it and want to get it done, because my OCD won't let me sleep at nights if I don't do it lol

I will add that they will be gradually added to the mod, but in a way that shouldn't break existing saves, as I'm keeping original structure of the script and file names.

QUICK UPDATE:
After grappling with it for awhile now, I decided to rework Deadrick's and Lil Nacume portraits. Some of them not only have different art style and textures, but also don't fit properly the vanilla meshes. And as much as I love their work and wanted to keep them in, I feel they just stick out too much and I know I can make them look more vanilla.
They will be completely reworked and in most cases won't even resemble the old versions, but I feel this is necessary to improve the quality of the mod. The original authors will be still credited, but more as an inspiration, as their assets will be completely replaced.

@tilarium good to know, cuz I thought it was for all the portraits.
But yeah, that would require a removal of Human Revolution or integration of them as part of Human Legacy, which I simply don't want to do.
So if anyone wants to use this for achievements gameplay, the easiest solution would be just to remove the common folder, as you mentioned.
I want to avoid uploading different versions of same mod, as I have more plans for different mods in the future and it would become overwhelming to keep up with everything.
I rather keep it simple.

@alan Not to be the "acktually" guy but this is almost achievement compatible. The checksum is only changed when a "common" folder is present, which I THINK is just the addition of the Human Revolution portraits. All of the other additions that add new clothes and looks to the default Humans are fine for achievements. @Clea and anyone else interested You can do this yourself by opening the workshop folder for the mod and removing the common folder. You won't have the HRS Humans though. But the best thing any of us can do is go the Stellaris forums on the Paradox website and keep making new posts and supporting older posts requesting they remove the checksum requirement for achievements and let us get them no matter what.

@Clea this mod does not add any new category. They are all humanoids species, which is basic vanilla category. Unfortunately as far as I know portrait mods aren't achievement compatible. Why? No idea, but I've seen people complaining about it a lot. So to answer your question, very sorry, but this mod won't be achievement compatible.

Would you be interested in creating an achievement-compatible version of the mod? The current version disables achievements because it introduces a new category of portraits

@Zeizei Pumpum thank you ^^
This is still work in progress, so a lot of stuff is not on the level I want it to be.

So interesting concepts

After receiving some more feedback, I decided to restore Vanilla portraits into the mod.
Also fixed the issue with scripted empires rulers.
Now they appear originally as in the vanilla game :)

I fixed some major issues and the new Human Legacy - Clothes Expansion is already out! :)

Unfortunately clothing expansion will be delayed, as I encountered some major issues with texture files, which seem to be broken in many cases for female characters. Even though they appear perfectly normal in GIMP and worked before in game, now they look like they don't fully render in game. My apologies to everyone waiting, but I really want to make this right, so trying to find a solution to solve this issue.

@SeanTheSugoi thank you for pointing that out, should be fixed now. But if you notice anything else, please let me know :)
