How to disable infant portraits

[Jaghave]

I'm really not a fan of them and would like to restore it to vanilla style.

 

[technowhiz]

I agree.

 

[AlyssaImagine]

Yeah, I agree with this. I liked it better the way it was.

 

[LordPeter]

Pff, and I thought people would like it when newborn babies don't look like they are already going to school...
But well, taste differs and I guess that's okay

Wait for the next version.

 

[technowhiz]

Ok thanks.

Hehe I agree. I like them, but they seem to be causing more coding problems than theyre worth.

They're not causing coding problems, they don't play well with cheating. We don't design features with cheat commands in mind.

Nah, I wasnt using cheats or other mods and on Mac and Linux there were problems with baby portraits not showing up. A user named Noxbru figured out what was causing it, his fix will hopefully be part of the next release.

Didn't we release that already?

Where 'figured out' means 'changed things that could be until it worked'

No, I just checked and the fix is not part of 4.07.5. You still need to download it separately from the top of page 51 in the report a bug thread and then add it to the interface folder.

Ill remind you in the report a bug thread in case you dont see my reply here.

I'm not requesting to remove it entirely that everyone choice just asking what the work around so I can restore it to the old method, I generally don't mess with the Portrait Files whenever I make mods for myself.

I know, I totally agree with you that there should be a choice. Which is why a gamerule will be in the next version.

For now, if you want to disable it you should go to /common/scripted_effects/plus_scripted_effects.txt and scroll down until you find

# Baby Portrait effect - needs to be updated when new graphicalcultures are added
assign_baby_portrait_effect = { # Automatically give correct trait based on skintone/gender
    if = {
        limit = {
            is_female = no
        }
...

where you could just comment out everything, or replace the "is_female = no" and also further down "is_female = yes" with "always = no". This will block the assignment of the hidden traits that fuel the portrait change. This will not affect saved games, sadly, because traits are already handed out there. However, unless you use console cheats, the baby potraits should normally disappear when the current generation grows up, and after a while everyone should be using just vanilla baby portraits again.
