Community Portrait Pack
Community Portrait Pack adds over 500 new portraits (large and advisor portraits) drawn in Vanilla style.
Most of these portraits are for Vanilla characters who use a generic one, but in some cases they give a better portrait to a character who already had a unique one.
Immersive generic portraits for specific armies will also be gradually added. So far, only Belgium has been treated, as I arbitrarily picked it as a test nation for this new feature, but I plan to cover major nations and some "interesting ones" (ie those covered by DLCs).
It is compatible with Ironman mode and with achievements.
I have just released an optional companion mod, ‘Community Portrait Pack Expanded’, which will prevent achievements but will circumvent what forbids to give unique portraits to some characters (advisors mostly) and also split some characters’ portraits between civil and military, when it makes senses to do so.
In the future, I might code a tool (probably in the form of an html interface) to pick alternative portraits in the case of a character who has more than one option, so you can choose between different artists or even fallback to the Vanilla portrait. In the mean time, here’s a link to a tutorial[forum.paradoxplaza.com] on Paradox Plaza to manually do this.
As this rely on abstract linking between portrait references and their assigned textures, without overwritting any Vanilla files, this mod is virtually compatible with any future patch or any "non-totalitarian" mods (mods that hardlink portraits).
It currently includes portraits from the following artists:
- PoorBananaMan27
- MikMogus
- Vanamees
- Noremac1700
- FacundoSim
- Mstae67
- TheManul
- The Bolshevik Jew
- Capt Chetson
- Bertocho
- Fluffy Fish Creations
- Herman Lindqvist
- Josk8C
- Carlos Magno
- FoxDie24
- Harry
- Rangel
- Le Kiwi Suisse
- The Road to 56 artists team

DISCLAMER: The latest update has massively changed the mod structure, so if you customized it, you will probably have to adpat your modifications.
ROADMAP:
The latest covered region was the Iberian peninsula, ie Spain, Portugal, but also Catalonia, Galicia, and Navarra aka Basque Country.
I am currently working on creating a pool of generic portraits specific to each faction of the Spanish Civil War and to Portugal.
Future updates might, in no specific order, cover:
- India and Pakistan
- Latin America
- Soviet Republics
