📋 About This Mod
A set of 100 lore friendly male portraits of mixed ethnicities and styles. Just like in the real world they are all athletic, muscular, devilishly handsome and suitably heroic looking. Two packs - one pack has backgrounds, one pack does not. They are not compatible with each other so use only one at a time.
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.
Compatible with other portrait mods, shouldn't overwrite or interfere with anything and I've tested it with a load of order of all the usual popular mods (85+ mods active) without issue. So far anyway.
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) packs of fully NSFW portraits.
Pinup Emblems 50 pinup style patch badges/company emblems.
Adds 100 lore-friendly male portraits in two packs—one with backgrounds, one without. They're mutually exclusive, so pick one. A niche cosmetic mod for players wanting more male portrait variety.
