Situational Nudity 3.4.5

This is a mod with three major features, each with its own section below. It isn't achievement compatible but it's extremely close to vanilla in both art style and gameplay.

 

To install, unzip the files in your Documents/Paradox Interactive/Stellaris/mod folder. Situational Nudity is currently intended for Stellaris version 3.4.5.

 

Situational Nudity

 

Pops, leaders, and rulers will be naked when:

• they're slaves,
• they're part of a hive mind,
• they have the servile, docile livestock, nerve-stapled, or zombie traits,
• they live in an empire whose founding species is always naked,
• they’re aquatic, or,
• the empire they live in has the Shared Burden, Agrarian Idyll, Anglers, Pleasure Seekers, or Corporate Hedonism civics.

Humans and humanoids 2 through 5 will all be fully naked, courtesy of Nessa's artwork. Unfortunately I can't undress every portrait because the portrait artwork literally isn't finished most of the time. I should also add that all of the nude portraits are pretty tame aside from Nessa's additions. There's also no fancy nipple rings or chains or extra clothes or anything crazy. Just the regular Paradox clothing and good honest nudity in the appropriate conditions.

 

Several more species are now always naked. If a species is naked in the Species or the Contact view but not elsewhere then that means they can support situational undressing.

 

Credit for this section goes to Nessa for both the idea (Real Human Slaves) and for the artwork.

 

Dimorphism

 

Situational Nudity also includes, updates, and polishes the following mods:

• Cat Dimorphism portraits by Silfae
• Fox Dimorphism portraits by Silfae
• Horse Dimorphism portraits by Silfae
• Warthog Dimorphism portraits by Silfae
• Monkey Dimorphism portraits by Silfae
• Otter Dimorphism portraits by Silfae
• Squirrel Dimorphism portraits by Silfae
• Llama Dimorphism portraits by Silfae
• Ox Dimorphism portraits by Silfae
• Void Dimorphism portraits by Rivershaw
• Space Goat Dimorphism portraits by SoulDoubt
• Dragon Dimorphism portraits by NullPointer and its fix by shredtilldeth
• Bat Dimorphism portraits by Otto Abnormalverbraucher
• Reptilian 2 Dimorphism portraits by Forte
• Avian 2 (Space Duck) Dimorphism portraits by Gnefitisis一三
• Reptilian12 (Space Angler Fish) Dimorphism portraits by Gnefitisis一三. I actually fixed this on my own (along with a lot else, see below) but to avoid accusations of plagiarism or unfairness or whathaveyou I may as well say I included its fix by shredtilldeth.
• Eyeshadow Remover by orc_junior
• Pangolin Sexual Dimorphism by Tony Starch
• Dolphinettes by Tony Starch
• Plantoid 7 Dimorphism by Tony Starch

Might be worth clarifying that I haven't just cobbled them together with a few minutes of copying and pasting, I've compared each of them line by line to vanilla and cleaned it all up. Superfluous files are removed. Errors from the error log are all cleaned up. I redrew clothing to ensure all clothing is a perfect match for vanilla, so the royal outfits have been added everywhere and all of Silfae's females have every single item of clothing the men do. It's intended to be as seamless and vanilla as possible. The animation lists have been matched with vanilla, pops now have appropriate clothing types (many of them had old tile-system code just commented out, so all female pops would dress alike...) I'm no artist but I also cleaned up Silfae's cat female graphics a bit. Lightened the eyes and matched the males in color, along with minimizing the 'thick eyeliner' look they had. I'm an obsessive man. I am both proud and ashamed.

 

I'm not claiming credit for any of the above and I respect all of their work.

 

No Bad Hair

 

We got a lot of new hair in a patch and not all of it was great. Situational Nudity removes 3 of the 4 new human hairstyles, 7 of the 8 new elf hairstyles, and the silly male elf bowl cut. All of the recolors and new clothing are kept.

 

Compatibility

 

Situational Nudity probably won't be compatible with other portrait mods. There’s a few important files that I’ve edited, that might cause conflict with other mods.

 

Known Issues

 

• The error log seems clean as a whistle when I run this.
• Some of the first contact screens seem too use the species portrait even when it looks like a diplomatic window, which results in nudity when it's not expected.
• Because the naked outfit doesn't show up at the end of the clothing list, your existing empire rulers might be coincidentally naked (or they might have the wrong outfit).

 

Questions & Answers

 

Q: Can I have any of these modules by themselves?
A: No, it's an all or nothing affair.

Q: Do I need every DLC?

A: I have no idea. I have all of them. I'd assume it'll work even if you don't have some.

Q: Why is this on Lovers Lab but not the Steam Workshop?

A: I don't feel like fighting with admins about whether my mod is appropriate or not, mostly. Also the subject matter invites inappropriate discussion, even if the actual graphics are pretty tame. It's also nice that if an artist does decide to contribute I don't have to weigh how appropriate it is and it can be discussed.
