📋 About This Mod
A PORTRAIT OVERHAUL that replaces all the characters. Only cosmetic, does not affect gameplay.
Description
This mod was born as an experiment with the new artificial intelligence tools for creating digital art and as an exercise to improve my graphics manipulation skills. So far I am satisfied with the end result.
Right now this mod is in 'beta' and until v1. 0 some images will be placeholder (they still are an improvement).
If you find any problems, have any suggestions or want to see something changed please let me know in the comments.
Hope you enjoy the mod!
Requirements:
Commander Portrait Loader is a 'soft' requirement.
You can still use this without installing that mod but the portraits for Glitch, Behemoth and Dekker during the starting (tutorial) mission will not be updated, and only during that mission. Afterwards you'll see their portraits updated. That particular mission uses a different set of portraits that can only be changed with the aforementioned mod.
If you want to use Commander Portrait Loader but for any reason the version hosted on Nexus is giving you problems, install this one instead:

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Covers every character, so you get a complete visual refresh.
- Zero gameplay impact—safe for any playthrough.
- Decent community support (119 endorsements, 3,104 downloads).
⚠️ Cons
- No preview images or detailed description, so you don't know the art style until you try it.
- Last updated in May 2024—might not be compatible with future game patches.
For players who want a fresh look at every character portrait without changing gameplay. If you're tired of the default portraits and want a complete overhaul, this is for you. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes or if you prefer to see the original art.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Back up your original portrait files before replacing, so you can revert if you don't like the new look.
- Check the mod's file structure to ensure you place the portraits in the correct folder (usually the game's data directory).
- If the mod doesn't work, verify that you have the latest game version and that no other mods conflict with portrait files.
