Pilot Overhaul Portraits separates the portrait packs from the Pilot Overhaul mod, letting players pick which ones they want and use them in vanilla or non-PO games. With 76 endorsements and 7,437 downloads, it's a niche but useful option for Battletech players who want more portrait variety without the full overhaul.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Gives you the portrait variety from Pilot Overhaul without forcing the whole mod on you
- Lets you cherry-pick which portrait packs you actually want
- Works in vanilla games, so you can use it even if you're not running other big overhauls
⚠️ Cons
- Only 76 endorsements, so it's a smaller community — you might not find as much troubleshooting help
- Last updated in November 2025, so if the game patches after that, you might run into issues
For Battletech players who like the Pilot Overhaul portraits but don't want the full overhaul or want to mix and match packs. Also good for vanilla purists who just want more portrait options without changing gameplay. Skip if you're happy with the default portraits or want a complete overhaul package.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this mod is just portraits, you can safely add or remove it mid-campaign without breaking saves.
- Check the mod's forum or comments section for any user-created load order suggestions, since the description doesn't cover it.
- If you're using other portrait mods, you might need to merge folders manually to avoid overwrites — back up your mod folder first.
