Species in this mod are required to have all 3 genders (male, female, and futa). This mod also doesn't make species based on specific props or fetishes such as cages, so caged femboys will never be a species in Vanilla Framework. However, I can whip up a VF-compatible portrait mod of caged femboys if someone can supply me with the portraits.

Just checking to make sure it's not just my impatience, but the actual 2.5.1 files don't appear in the download menu. Were they successfully uploaded?

 

I've never gotten here within minutes of an upload, so there might just be a delay I didn't know about.

The new files have just finished uploading. I update the description before uploading the new versions, and the uploads can take a while now that I'm working on 3 mods at once (VF, VF NR, VF portraits). There will always be a delay between new description and the new version being uploaded, but unless unforeseen issues occur I will always have the new versions up within the hour.

The VF Portraits gfx folder isn't nested in a "VF Portraits" folder, FYI. Easy enough to address on the user end, but thought it best you know.

It could be framed "Sub" portraits, with just folks being in submissive poses and outfits. It wouldn't be the weirdest thing to add as we already have "Mask," "Suntan," and "Bimbo" portraits.

Yeah I guess a "sub" species would be fine.

Hey, in case anyone's interested, I threw together a patch that'll make this work with Lewd Galaxy. Haven't done extensive testing, but seems to work fine.

 

 

Only contains modified text files from Vanilla Framework, you'll have to install Lewd Galaxy for the actual collection of portraits.

 

 

Lewd Galaxy Vanilla Framework Patch.7z 1.62 kB · 20 downloads

Hi sniper. Not sure if it's this or just something wrong with my current run, but since installing the patch and Lewd Galaxy (placed below VF in load order), I've found that the operations from observation posts over primitive planets just don't show up whereas they had been before. I looked at each text file in your patch and only saw the additions of Lewd Galaxy portrait references, so it's possible something else is happening, but I'm not sure what.

Cool, I'll put it on my To-Do list along with a "Dom" species, Idk when I'll get to them though.

The swarm is found under the "Event Species (VF)" category. If you are using the non-replacement version of VF event species haven't been implemented in that one yet, as I haven't gotten around to separating the VF event species that overwrite vanilla event species from the VF event species that leave vanilla event species untouched.

not sure what i did but, for.. some reason.. all my portraits are just empty when i use the mod now.

All of them or just the humanoids, mammalians, or reptilians?? If it's all of them I'd suspect a installation error, if it's just those three categories then go grab the VF Portraits required submod.

I've been close to installing this mod a number of times but I always look at the provided visual examples and I just don't vibe with the vast majority of the girls featured there. I'm just not a fan of the huge boobs or the more animalistic faces. Nothing wrong with people liking those! Just not my thing.

 

But then I read there's like 6000 portraits in this mod, so surely there would be a lot that I would like, right? I was wondering if there's an easy way to "disable" or delete the portraits I don't like, basically to trim the mod down to my tastes (I hope that's not a disrespectful concept). I've never modded anything: would it work if I just locate the files and delete individual ones or would that break the game?

Yes, VF files can be easily modified to suite your tastes better! I actively encourage people to personalize the mod to their liking, in fact that's how I learned to handle species mods myself.

 

The least intrusive way to remove species is to go into "Vanilla Framework/common/portrait_sets" and open the portrait set file that you want to modify (they are organized by species class). Then simply delete or comment out (anything in a line that comes after a "#" symbol is ignored as a comment) the species you do not like. Additionally, species entered in the non_randomized_portraits field will be available for player use but not used in randomly generated species. Remember that species names must be in quotations marks when adding them to a portrait set. Modifying species sets is the ideal way to remove certain species. Deleting image files will may cause errors since they are used in the portrait files, and the portrait files are complicated to modify.

 

I also suggest experimenting with custom portrait files (portrait files define which images are in a species and which gender they are associated with) to make custom species, as you can merge portraits from multiple mods into one species this way. This is the most complicated part of species modding, though, so if you try it out you should start with small experiments to learn how it works, then use an automated program such as my Stellaris Portrait File Generator to create species files in order to prevent bug-causing typos and issues.

All of em!. ill try grabbing a fresh install, but using the non-replacer version worked just fine so it oculd be an install or something i missed

Hi there, saw this mod and I really love it! The mod is excellent when combined with Lustful Void and I love that so many of the species types and groups are catered for us folks who like seeing bigger figures~. Just wondering, but can more hyper-sized portraits be added in future updates? Some anthro portrait types fill that niche but it's always cool to have more!

Could you clarify what you mean by hyper-size? I'm not sure if you're referring to giant people, fat, breast/penis size, or something else.

well, by hyper size, I meant something like what's in these R34 posts above, it's not everyone's cup of tea but there's quite a few folks like myself who enjoy it in particular!

Image gathering is left up to some volunteer contributors. They usually read this forum to see what people are requesting, so I'm sure they'll make a note of your request. If they (or other volunteers) are interested in getting more hyper-size images they will coordinate with me to add them into the mod.

 

We try not to put too much of specific fetishes into each species since not everyone has the same specific tastes, so a sizeable quantity of hyper-size images would probably be implemented as an optional submod with the hyper-sized portraits in their own species separate from the normal ones. If we just find a few extra hyper-sized images we would just throw them in with the normal species. So basically I'm fine with adding more hyper-size to the mod but if there's a lot more of them they'd be separated into their own species. Also, the nature of the images makes it harder to find quality images as more specific fetishes usually have less content and since they tend to cram a lot into one image it may be harder to find images that will scale down to stellaris-size in a way that can still be seen clearly.

ah.. I see, well fingers crossed hopefully.

Interesting, thats good to know, I'm quite sure there's images that could be fitted into Stellaris. If there's any hyper submod, I'll be the first to check it out! And just wondering, but if you know, when will the next update for the mod come out?

Good luck!

My image gatherers haven't been very active lately, so it's probably going to be a while before the next update. However, I got permission to use some futa portraits from another mod so if I have some extra time this week I'll be releasing a small futa expansion update.

Oh that's nice to hear, and if you need, I could maybe gather some images for you. I could get them based on your stellaris portrait requirements maybe, if not, I'll leave it at that.

If you wanted to collect the images that'd be great! The job entails finding the images online, removing the background, resizing them to the correct dimensions without compromising quality, and (optionally) converting the images to dds file type. I can walk you through any image editing steps if needed, and we require a minimum of 5 portraits for each gender to add a new species. If you're interested, you can directly message me on loverslab and we can coordinate from there.

Sure I can do that, I know how to edit images myself. Only issue is is that I can't directly message you on Loversab, I keep getting a notification that I can only send 0 messages a day lol. Is there any other means of communication perhaps?
