Animated Ascellian Portraits (2.2.6 Le Guin +)
Adds a custom race / species for Stellaris with animated portraits, a room background (typically slot 1), and a name list (expanded from one of the default humanoid lists, available in English and German). Does NOT include a starting system, preset empire, or any additional traits.
Up to date for version 2.5.x.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS VERSION IS NO LONGER RETROACTIVELY COMPATIBLE. It may not work at 2.2.5 or earlier!
You may find the legacy version compatible with version 2.1 Niven and prior here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=871702728
FULL localization support is included for both English and German.
As of update 2.2.6, I am proud to announce that this mod has been restored to its full breadth, depth, and functionality!
A feminine humanoid alien race with:
– 5 different body types
– 8 different eye colors
( red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, violet )
– 30 different outfits
( red, orange, green, and blue scientist suits; 3 xeno zoologists with pets; ruler, governor, general and admiral uniforms; 2 priestess robes; 7 citizen outfits; 2 mining uniforms & powerplant uniforms, 3 slave rags, 3 purge rags )
– 20 different hairstyles, with alternative royal version for rulers
( long to shaven, feminine to masculine / androgynous )
– job-specific outfit selection
( pop outfit changes depending on the pop’s assigned job)
– slave- and purge-specific outfit selection
( pop outfit changes to slave and purge presets if applicable )
I’ve done the math so you don’t have to. There are 24,000 possible unique combinations, excluding the royal hair versions.
