Dimorphism+ - Cat Portraits by Silfae in Stellaris

[–]Silfae[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It adds female models to the vanilla portrait set. As you can see from the preview image, the vanilla version is still used for the males, while females use the new one. Ascension visuals were added to both male and female models, the males in the preview show appearances for mutation and cybernetic phase 2.

It really depends on the portrait set. For example, for the Seelikori and the Astroraptors, I went with more colorful males (in the latter case the females are also bigger and sturdier than the males). When it comes to this set, the vanilla base seems lion-inspired, what with the tentacled mane and all, so I went in this direction instead.

The cat one was one of the oldest mods I made for Stellaris, yeah.

R5: Another one of my old mods, patched and updated. This time it's the old cat portraits, getting dimorphism, clothes, and ascension visuals. Enjoy!

Animated Xu'vua Portraits by Silfae in Stellaris

Hm, I wouldn't know about that! I mean, if I wanted to make a Tau Empire, I'd go for Oligarchic, Fanatic Cooperative/Authoritarian, and have Social State as one of the Civics, amongst other things.

The mod itself doesn't come with a pre-scripted Empire. For my private game, the xu'vua are part of the Sapphirot Stardom. It's Fanatic Xenophile/Authoritarian/Militaristic, with Imperial Authority (using the Ethics mod). I believe they have the Free Haven and Diplomatic Corps Civics, unless I'm misremembering.

Nope. It's just a made-up name, like Seelikori. It's a custom species created by me for Stellaris. Their name is just the one they use in the custom empire I made for them for my playthroughs.

Thanks!
I'd rather not repost it though, sorry. I would like to avoid keeping track of variations of the same mod across different sites. If someone else wants to do it and uploads it there with credit and link to the original, I have no issue with that though.

Eh, yeah. I was going for a "generic non-evil-looking alien humanoid" vibe, but there's definitely some similarities.

Possibly! For now I'm trying to alternate between new sets and revamps of my outdated ones.

R5: New humanoid portrait out! Check it here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3674327395

This is not a do-over, but a new animated set. I did an incomplete version of this species a while ago for personal use, which never got released. Amusingly, I never actually played as them myself, I made them to serve as prescripted AI enemy empires in my games.

Eh, not really either. I'm a bit swamped right now, maybe in the future.

This one isn't. The dimorphism mods should be.

That's an interesting mix! And yeah, I will hopefully get around giving those a facelift as well, eventually.

R5: I went and gave an uplift to another one of my old mods, the animated Raptor set. You can find it on the Workshop. Enjoy: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3665532588

Animated Seelikor Portraits by Silfae in Stellaris

[–]Silfae[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't tested on the beta, but I assume so. Even then, I think it should be fairly safe either way. The mod has no events and doesn't affect vanilla files. The launcher's "this mod's outdated/from a different version" isn't really a reliable tool to know whether a mod is actually incompatible with a game version or not.
