📋 About This Mod
Booster packs for my original Femme Fatale Portrait Pack. Currently 5 packs of 50 portraits in a lore friendly style. Each pack is based around different ethnicities.
10 packs in total, but you can only use 5 at a time at most. Packs 1a-5a are without backgrounds. Packs 1b-5b are with backgrounds. The screenshots are named so you can work out which packs you want. The same packs are not compatible with each other (e.g. pack 1 without backgrounds is not compatible with pack1 with backgrounds).
This mod (and all portrait mods) work much better with HUD DIY . It allows you to customise various aspects of the HUD, including the size and position of portraits when comms appear on screen. Results will vary depending on your screen resolution. You need the main DIY file plus the Portraitedit optional file from that page.
You don't need the original file, these will all work as standalone portrait packs. This just allows me to ensure a better distribution and quality of images for different ethnicities in a way that isn't RSI inducing for me. Also gives me some insight in to what is or isn't popular.
My other mods:
Fully lore friendly/realistic:
NPC Pilot Update - replaces every NPC portrait in the base game + all DLCs.
Femme Fatale Portrait Pack - Original portrait pack, 100 portraits of mixed styles.
Femme Fatale Portrait Booster Packs - 5 packs of 50 portraits in the same style as Femme Fatale.
Femme Fatale Volume 2 - 2 packs, 670 portraits in total.
Male Fatale Portrait Pack - Portrait pack for 100 male pilots.
Male Fatale Portraits Volume 2 - Portrait pack for 712 male pilots.
Ryana Plus - portrait replacer for Ryana with 20 versions to choose from.
BattleChatter - replaces the in game music with military comms chatter.
Almost lore friendly/realistic (probably showing a bit a more skin than is likely but nothing over the top):
Somewhat Raunchy Femme Fatale Portraits Second female portrait replacer, 150 portraits, these ones didn't quite make it into my lore friendly pack as they were showing a bit too much skin.
SR Femme Fatale Portrait Pack Volume 2 - Extended, newer, better version of the above (doesn't replace it, can work alongside it). 2 packs of 575 portraits, totalling 1150.
Almost lore friendly (honest) but not particularly realistic:
Temperature Management Specialist Femme Fatale Portraits - 190 female portraits. Technically there are bits of lore that suggest that pilots wore very little clothing due to heat in the cockpit.... This clearly takes that too far, pretty much all the shots are zoomed out and in skimpy armour.
Temperature Management Specialists - Version 2 of the above pack, better quality and consistency, more eclectic and colourful characters, Around 1100 portraits.
NSFW FF Portraits at MechWarrior - a couple of smallish (100-200
This is a companion mod to the Femme Fatale Portrait Pack, adding 5 booster packs of 50 portraits each, for a total of 250 new portraits. Each pack focuses on a different ethnicity, and all portraits come in versions with and without backgrounds. It's a lore-friendly cosmetic expansion for players who want more variety in character portraits.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community support with 69 endorsements and over 10,000 downloads.
- Adds a substantial amount of content—250 portraits—for players who want more variety.
- The inclusion of both background and no-background versions gives flexibility for different UI setups.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires the original Femme Fatale Portrait Pack to function, so it's not standalone.
- Last updated in July 2024—check if it's compatible with the latest game version.
For players who already use the Femme Fatale Portrait Pack and want to expand their portrait options with more ethnic diversity. If you're looking for a standalone portrait mod or don't care about lore-friendly aesthetics, this isn't for you.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the original Femme Fatale Portrait Pack installed first, as this is a booster pack.
- If you're using a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting issues.
- Test the 'with backgrounds' versions in-game to see if they fit your UI; if not, switch to the no-background versions.
