📋 About This Mod

A rework of my fourth portrait mod, utilising what I have learnt to get better quality more consistent images but also more character, colour and individuality into the portraits.

Whereas the original pack would mostly have suited the professional look, this one contains a more eclectic mix of characters that I think you would find working as mercs in this world. Rookies still wet behind the ears through to veterans who have perhaps stared down the barrel of an AC10 one too many times. Pirates, criminals, cultists, down-on-their-lucks, gladiators, fame chasers, hereditary warrior classes, adrenaline junkies, hardnuts, jokers and mirthless quiet types. With all the colours, styles and attitudes that could entail.

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.

There are two packs - with and without backgrounds. The packs are compatible with all my other portrait mods - but not each other.

The screenshots were taken from an earlier build. The release build has the two instances of with backgrounds portraits sneaking into the no backgrounds version.

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 M

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

Adds 712 realistic-style portraits of male mechwarriors to Battletech, with and without background versions. For players seeking visual variety for their pilots. Stands out for its large volume and realistic art style.

✨ Key Features

712 portraits of male mechwarriors in a realistic style.
Includes versions with and without backgrounds.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Massive pack — 712 portraits means you'll never run out of variety for your male pilots.
  • Realistic style fits the gritty Battletech aesthetic, not cartoonish.
  • Background and no-background versions give you flexibility for different UI setups.

⚠️ Cons

  • Only 55 endorsements — a niche mod, so you're not getting a huge community-tested stamp of approval.
  • Last updated in August 2024 — might not be compatible with the latest game patches, so check before installing.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Battletech players who want to diversify their mechwarrior portraits, especially if you're tired of the default options. If you're a lore purist who wants a consistent realistic look, this is a solid pick. Skip if you're looking for portrait packs for female characters or if you prefer a more stylized art direction.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • If you're using mods like Battletech Extended, make sure to check load order — custom portraits usually need to be placed in the right folder to override defaults.
  • Use the no-background versions if you have UI mods that change the portrait frame, otherwise the backgrounds might clip.
  • Back up your original portrait files before overwriting, so you can revert if you don't like the look.
