Mystical species

---

A mod that makes most of the art by the artist mystical/mysticalpp/plantpenitrator into several species

all credit and source of the images are to mysticalpp/plantpenitrator

there's 6 different species

plants: 139 (plantoid)
anthro: 135 (mammalian)
humin: 164 (humanoid)
gouls: 63 (necroid)
guard: 65 (arthropoid)
robut:238 (machine) (26ish original images stretched with recolors)

and one mega species that had the placeholder name "plant" and now its gone too far and would be too much work to rename

plant: 609 (also plantoid couldn't think of any other place for the omnibus species)

i finally added that .mod file

Good job on the mod! Quick question. Where did you find the species creator mod? I keep finding the reddit post but there's no download for it anywhere.

right here, but it seems to not have been updated in a while and i had to remake most of the files anyway and it only does species size up to 40, i manually expanded the species documents

Awesome. Thanks!

the mod doesn't seem to be working for me :< it appears greyed out on the mod list
actually, it's not even appearing on my mod list

did you try making the blank mod in the launcher first then putting the contents of the download in the folder it creates?

I didn't even know that was a thing? (just got into actively modding recently)

after figuring out how to do that it worked, thanks for the tip

1) Check if you can add the mod into your mod list; Devs changed up the launch menu and how mods are set up into custom list you can make now.

2)If you added it to your mod list and it's greyed out then use the modding tool from the game launcher.

 

*NOTE*: At times the (name).mod file can have a text error in the form of (in my experience) the modder had just not adding the quotation at the end.

If I may ask, what image editing program are you using?

ok so you made a blank mod in the launcher and then put the contents into the folder in the blank mod right
(if you even need help anymore)

 descripter is flawed so copying it in to a new folder won't work 

 

2nd you have upload it to either prardox or steam not a good idea.

it shoulndt need a descriptor because one is made when you make the blank mod
you dont get rid of it when you put the other mod in

i havent uploaded anything to steam, is it on there?

[justhere2look]

well i sure as hell don't want to take that chance or the chance of it uploading parodox 

would it be possible to merge it with another portrait mod

[justhere2look]

How'd you get it to work?

does it not work for you?, it should work out of box now, all that nonsense was from before i added the .mod file and he didn't follow the directions.  now it should just be drag the folder and .mod file into your mod folder like any other mod from here

"the path in this mod's descriptor file is invalid or does not exist"

[VynalDerp]

a quick fix for anyone who still has the invalid path problem, this solution is quicker & easier (at least for me) than the one above.

All you need to do is navigate to "C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Stellaris\mod", where you installed the mod manually. Open up the file "mystical.mod" in any text editor and simply change username onn the path= line from "C:/Users/SOMEONEELSEUSERNAME/" to "C:/Users/YOURUSERNAME/" so that it looks something like "C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Stellaris\mod\mystical"

Alternatively, you could just delete everything inside of "" behind "mod/mystical" and it should work fine, so the line looks like: path="mod/mystical"

Anyone else using this run into an issue where random Empires that spawn with this portrait set and only this set will rarely crash the game when you click on any systems they own aside from their capital?
