To Install:
You need Commander Portrait Loader mod from either GitHub or BTA.

You need BT Save Editor from Github.
Load a save with it, then on the pilot tab check 'Use Custom Image' for the target pilot. Paste the filename there and save.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- 93 sprites is a solid amount of variety for evil-themed runs.
- Pairs well with Commander Portrait Loader and BT Save Editor for easy integration.
- Small but active niche (401 downloads) — someone's using it.
⚠️ Cons
- AI-generated art may not match the game's original style.

For Battletech players who want to spice up their evil playthroughs with a bunch of villainous portraits. Skip if you prefer lore-friendly or vanilla-style visuals.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have Commander Portrait Loader and BT Save Editor installed first, as the sprites won't work without them.
