Overview

I originally created ThirstSector for my own use, but apparently people liked it and so I kept adding to it and now here we are.

The main intent of ThirstSector is to:

  • []Please my eyeballs

    []Unify the aesthetic styles of all the various mod portraits

    []Send me to horni jail, although I have since backpedaled on this a little bit to keep it more or less confined to only certain parts of the NSFW add-on

All images were generated by machine learning and then edited manually.

Mod Faction Support

  • []Any faction that simply uses the base game portraits are compatible

    []Any faction that introduces new portrait files will need special accommodation

    []Faction-updates will be released as packs that you can just overwrite the old portraits with simply because I can't figure out some load order issues.

    Alternative Portraits

    • []If you dig around in the mod files, occasionally there are some portraits that have alt versions that you can use if you prefer them. They will be named something like character_alt1.png, and you can just rename them to use them. Sometimes they are older versions and sometimes they are just different.

      Dependencies and Conflicts

      []It will conflict with mods that replace the base portraits

      []It will not conflict with mods that add portraits

      Manual Installation Instructions
