AGOT Portrait Overhaul (Updated 2/3/2023) | The Citadel: A Game of Thrones Mod (2024)

Current Version : 2nd March 2023

I won't be able to start updating the mod again until early April.

- added lengi portraits
- added asshai'i & shadowlander portraits
- added yitish portraits
- added enhanced child portraits for dothraki & summer islanders

- added temporary portraits for naathi, better shading for summer islanders, other misc fixes

- updated Mixed Cultures compatch

Installation :

Run with the main A Game of Thrones mod.

- AGOT PO - Characters

Contains the history/DNA files for the custom characters. Run this with "A Game of Thrones" and "AGOT PO - Base" so you get the canon characters looking as they should.

- AGOT PO - Enhanced Child GFX

Enables the enhanced child portraits, which better fit the style of the adult portraits in PO. Instead of 1 static child portrait per culture/gender, there's now 27, with dynamic hair and eye coloring which respects the DNA of the character. Not using it falls back to PO's vanilla-style child portraits.

Can be run with "AGOT PO - Characters" or any compatch.

IMPORTANT NOTE : When enabling this addon, vanilla cultures that I have not replaced with custom graphic sets will have missing portraits if you don't own certain portrait DLC from the base game. This only affects the eastern cultures that I have yet to replace, and will not be an issue once I make custom portraits for them.

Compatches :

- AGOT PO + Mixed Ethnicities
Enables custom mixed ethnicities and additional features from the MC&R mod. Run this in combination with "AGOT PO - Base" and "", specifically the "BASE GAME" version.
Can be run with "AGOT PO - Characters", and also works with either CO/MB compatches.

- AGOT PO + MB Compatch

Do NOT run this with "AGOT PO - Characters" or the PO + CO + MB Compatch.

- AGOT PO + CO + MB Compatch

Do NOT run this with "AGOT PO - Characters" or the "PO + MB" Compatch.

Third Party Compatches :
Make sure these are up to date before using them alongside the latest version of Portrait Overhaul.

Current features are :

* New dynamic portrait sets, with new backgrounds

* Entirely separate portrait packs for each Andal sub-culture
* Enhanced static child portraits

* 27 slots for facial features, hair and beards. I've left the first three or four beard slots blank in order to increase the amount of clean shaven randomly generated characters in the game
* Entirely new clothing, headgear and replacements for crowns, plus 7 new clothing slots per culture (3 for king/emp tier, 4 for count/duke tier)
* Unique hair, beards and clothes for each culture, including sub cultures. I've currently got entirely custom hair sets for Valyrians and Reachmen males, but the others are using CK2's vanilla sets until I get around to replacing them as well
* History files for many of the characters/bookmarks, remade using my assets in order to fit their canon appearances. Currently incomplete, but covers a number of the prominent characters

Roadmap :

Westeros

Free Cities

Dothraki

Ghiscari

Summer Isles

The East

Fantasy races, extras like more graphical_culture portrait sets (ie, prominent houses could have their own unique portrait sets), full hair set replacements, more crowns/armors/headgears, possibly GUI assets like portrait frames, etc

Example images (may use outdated assets as I'm constantly updating the graphics) :

Thanks! Alright, I uploaded what I've done so far. It's quite large extracted (1.6GB) because the DDS files are in a lossless format, which eliminates compression and alpha artifacts. And like I said, this is a work in progress that's far from done, so keep in mind that some stuff hasn't been added yet (lots of shared items like helmets, armors, hoods and stuff haven't been done), and a bunch of the new assets still need work or outright replacing, especially the crowns, most of which are basically placeholders. I feel the same way about the Salt/Sand Dornish, they're a little too bland and same-faced at the moment, so I'll likely give them another go before I move on. Also, I still have a ton of DNA to replace for prominent characters, so what you see in terms of historical characters may not be correct yet.

Possibly, but likely not for some time, possibly when I'm pretty much done replacing all the portrait sets in the game world, which might take a few months. I'll be constantly changing things on my end until then, and I don't want to have to update compatibility patches alongside it, at least not until everything is stable. If someone in the mean time wants to make a patch though, feel free to post it.

EDIT : Changed my mind after trying MB, so I added a compatch. CO or a combination of both will have to wait though.

This looks incredible! I do have some small comments/notes/suggestions:

* I notice there seems to be a second chin/head behind Elia Martell that you can see poking out. So does Theon to a smaller, less noticeable extent under his chin.
* I think Aemond should have a longer hairstyle, as that one works more for Aegon II. Perhaps give him the same hairstyle Viserys the Begger King has?
* Some of the characters like Aerys and Daenerys should probably have their canon crowns.
* Maybe it’s just me, but I feel like Rhaenys and Visenya’s faces (not their hairs mind you, just their faces) should be switched.
* One hair suggestion I would add for Rhaenyra is to give her a bit of a ponytail falling to one side/shoulder, similar to what she has in the Driftmark episode of the show.

Fixed, redownload.

Thanks! As for the portraits, I'm not basing them off the HBO shows, I'm going off a combination of book descriptions, official art and to a lesser extent high quality fan art that tries to match the book descriptions. You can use something like CK2 Portrait Builder to edit them yourself though and try to find something closer, then grab the DNA/properties from that and paste it into the history files.

Huh, that's weird. Are you running my mod with vanilla AGOT or are you running it alongside other mods? Also, is it only the High Valyrians that are using the old portraits? The rest are using mine, including Westerosi Valyrians?
