This 'works' with dlc, but by stripping the two DLC races and also extra traits from the existing races (like 'nimble' from Terrakin). An updated version is here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1774352688

It'll also (in a day or two) have a link that you GOG guys can use.

If the game tells you the mod is out of date, you can still get the portraits. Go into the mods files and move the portraits into the portraits folder in the base game files and they will show up in the custom empire screen.

I hated this face in SR1. And now, when I open up SR2 in Steam, I have to see this grin looking face again. Bah. Sorry, just had to say this. Its just my own opinion. You love it, I accept that :-) Just saying!

hmm ... when i enable the mod the WotH dlc gets disabled or at least i can't seem to select the new races.

Is it possible to download it without using Steam Worshop? I have Star Ruler 2 on GOG, and I would very much like to use your mod.

You can still use this mod even if it is marked as non-compatible. It will work fine anyway (at least it does for me).

update please please please

Please update this for the newest version.

updated?

Update plz?

I kinda liked the idea that humanity had evolved into something else over the eons. nice mod though.

I have the GoG.com version of this game can you make this mod downloadable like on moddb? No Steam version no download of steam only mods....

Thanks, the Terrakin portait was too weird & didn't like it:)

@Darius the macaroni - You can, go to customise race and type a new name in the name bar.

boy it would sure be awesome if i could change the terrakin name to human though ;)

@Vincent - I was under the impression that you could never get the portraits under the main race selection screen.

Ok just an update.
Apparently things aren't quite so bad as I thought.

Though I can't get the other portraits to show up on the main race selection screen,
they do show up when you Customize a race.

Ok guys; I finally updated the mod but unfortunately it came at a cost.

Because of all the 'lore/background' for each race that came with 1.0 of Star Ruler, I would have to come up with equally good lore for each of the added races myself.
I may do this some time, but not right now lol.

So what I've done is simply to replace the current SR2 Terrakin Portrait with the one from SR1.

Again I apologize to all those who really appreciated the large addition of races.
If you really really want them back, I may delve into modding the game and see if I can't
pull something off.

Thank You

From what I understand, all you need to do now is add the new portraits into the portraits folder, and just not touch the races text file. The portraits should be named something appropriate though, like "human" or "chalsipidan", as opposed to "olivia_thirlby_clone_race_ver2_portrait", without the quotes.

Sorry for the lack of updates guys.. I haven't been playing SR2 lately, and so haven't felt like modding it :/ .. actually my PC hasn't been functioning properly so I havent' been able to even download SR2 through Steam (long story.)

I'm not sure when I can/will update the mod, but I won't forget about it.

Edit: Just had to enable it as a overhaul / override and it worked. Should fix it if it doesn't work for someone else as well.

I think it may need to get updated now that SR2 is released. I cant seem to get the mod to work and the new races to show up even though its enabled.

Downloaded this with my friend Jeremiah. We use it on multiplayer a lot. Would you be able to link me to a page or youtube video of how to do such things so there can be more races and stuff? Jeremiah and I usually do 28 people and the overlapping pictures are annoying at times. I was thinking of adding Doraleous, Neebs and stuff like that since I mentioned naming races and then he just keeps using them in every game. I want to do Sasha, Erin, Mikasa from Attack on Titan; Kamina from Guren Lagann; Nia, Yuri, Ian, Cico, Celine, Valentin, Torlo, Kaira, Katida and others from Infinite Space (not sure on all their names), Kane from Command and Conquer; Fox, Krystal, Falco, Slippy, Wolf, Pantheon (or w/e his name is) and the chemelon guy whose name I think starts with an L from Star Fox Assault and finally the civ leaders from Beyond Earth. I'd much appreciate any help you could offer on that.

Hey Vincent, your human mod doesn't include the lifestyle of the original races as of this patch, so I patched it up. Its just for me and my friends and it'll be private.

Just updated the mod to work with todays patch which adds new race portraits to the game.
Let me know if there's any issues/bugs.

sweet, the regular portraits scared me a bit ;_;

Reallly awesome. Thank you so much. SR2 is a freakin sweet game but whoever thought the races and portraits were good enough should quit art. Thank you for fixing the one thing about this game that pissed me off. I know it sounds nit picky but who the EFFFF wants to play a 4x space game WITHOUT humans. Being evil asshole domination obsessed humans is part of my motivation. I like to think of myself as Darth Vadar in these games haha. You rock dude

Man, how I missed these guys! :)

This mod adds so much for so little. Well done.

Great job, I like it!!!!

Allthough I really love SR2, I hate the race portraits!!

Liking this mod, while I like the SR2 portraits I love me some variety.

Bitches love variety. 10/10 would DL again.

Broh, ur ta bestest dude.

Love the port, subscribing now.

When it comes to scifi, I am racist. I can only fight for the human race lol. Thanks for the mod, buddy!

Glad to hear it :)

Hopefully the names I named the races are alright lol.
Kinda did it off the top of my head.

Let me know if there's anything you'd like me to change/adjust.

Nice love it. I hated the portraits in Sr2 to cartoony for me.
