MustaphaTR’s Pony Mod (v0.4.4)
Yet another My Little Pony portrait mod. I’ve made my own one as i was not happy with how the existing ones used portraits of show characters as is for genericos. This mod makes use of the color/attachment/clothes logic to give each portrait 10-13 color variations, but the total portrait count is way more limited at the moment. But i’m planning to add more portraits.
In addition to Ponies, mod includes portraits for Griffons, Zebras, Deer, Changelings, Hippogriffs, Kirin, Yaks and Dragons too.
As of Version 0.2.9, my Equestria at War Flag Symbols mod has been integrated into this one, now bringing 478 flag icons using symbols from Equestria at War and its submods Every State Independent and Balefire Blues, along with 60 flags icons of cutie marks of various ponies, and 26 flag backgrounds.
Apart from portraits and flags this mod also includes:
– 12 Prescripted Countries
— Convocation of Creatures
— The Crusader State
— Empire of Friendship
— Novyy Stalliongrad
— United Faustian Hives
— Griffonian Empire
— Faustian Technate
— Jarldom of Faust
— CSP Remnants
— Revolutionary Faust
— Faustian Conglomerate
— Empire of Frost
– "Cutie Marks" and "Equality Marks" Species Traits
– "Immortal" leader trait.
– "Behemoth", "Faust" and "Sol (CSP)" Starting Solar Systems
– Namelists for Ponies, Griffons, Hippogriffs, Dragons, Changelings, Deer, Kirin, Yaks, Polar Bears, Yetis and Zebras
– A setup event to allow players to start with all the species the mod has portraits for in their custom empires.

— Known issues —
– While designing character apparence the available color/hair/cloth count do not update when you switch between different ponies. Clicking the already selected gender option updates it properly.
– Portraits of the named characters reset to a random one when their species are modified. There’s a hidden event running every month to update them. So if you see them wrong, just wait a bit. It should fix itself by the end of the month.
– Void Dweller version of CSP Sol System used by CSP Remnants prescripted country is not properly selectable for custom empires.
– Multi-Species setup event do not yet properly account for Pony subspecies. If you chose a limited portrait set for ponies, it won’t create other pony subspecies.
– Novyy Stalliongrad prescripted country can sometimes have basegame, auto-generated original country with a random system, while it is intended to have either United Allied Nations or Holy Pony Empire with Faust as the capital. If you wanna ensure it worked fine in your game, check the homeworld of your species, it should be "Faust". If it is not you can restart the game.
