After a month of hard work, I have finished my first version of Vanilla Portrait Overhaul for HIP. This submod is a port of the AGOT Portrait Overhaul mod developed by ChooChoo (RIP). I take no credit for the work they put into the dds and tga graphics assets, all I did was make the portrait files for 90+ cultures. RIP Choo, you did an amazing job and thanks for giving me permission to make the port over to vanilla. Special thanks as well to Valaerix who has kept AGOT PO alive and who gave me a ton of ideas of which sprites to assign to cultures.
Unlike the AGOT PO version, the port utilizes vanilla clothing and headgear. That being said, ALL PORTRAIT DLC ARE REQUIRED FOR THIS MOD TO FUNCTION PROPERLY. The clothing from the dlc are not provided in this mod and you need to own the dlc. I recommend just getting the dlc combo pack that contains all portraits. Additionally, this mod is not compatible with any other mod that changes portraits. So to use this mod, you CANNOT use the CPR module that comes with HIP or the BLG mod.
This is just version one of the mod. I have future updates planned, such as enabling the enhanced dynamic children portraits that are currently present in AGOT PO, as well as making a vanilla vanilla version of this, and, eventually, one for After the End.
It is a rather large mod once unzipped - between 4-5 GB - which is why I cannot get it on Steam. In addition to being HIP dependent, I have put in compatibility for the Expanded Map submod and for Warial's China Expansion submod and haven't seen any issues when playing with those.
There is a lot higher chances of visual diversity among characters of the same ethnicity due to all the options for the different features.
And if you happen to have any questions, I am sevarikos in the HIP discord. Just call me Sev though.
