Looks like some new portraits were added maybe? Nemesis has two now and sometimes the default one with her looking to the side will show up instead of the modded one. I'm pretty sure multiple characters have additional portraits now, so we may need some extra art.

Yup. I have that on my list of new images I need to make. There are at least these 5, the one you mentioned with Nemisis looking to the side is her “Flustered”. I just got the first release out where I fixed the major blocking problems. It took longer than I had thought because they changed how the effects are coded and blocking the moonglow, glints, and other effects went from like 200 lines to 400+ or so.

Really hope we get some sexy portraits that don't fully show nudity. I love the edits made to Melinoes's outfit in the nsfw mod, but I wish there was a variant where she was still 'covered', just with her being every so close to not being. 

Idk, sometimes the tease just feels hotter. Like its much hotter to know that someone is dressed in something that is one bad step away from a wardrobe malfunction, than actually seeing the wardrobe malfunction.

Hello, is someone continuing the mod/s with the art style from this thread ? I read here that one was abandoned or continued with someone else.

Originally I was making two versions, one NSFW and one SFW but it doubled the amount of work and I abandoned the SFW project in favor of the NSFW one. I don’t think I’ll make it back to the SFW one personally.

Appreciate all the hard work @Kuipo, so I figured I'd help out by reporting a bug: 

 

Are you using a lower resolution?  I have only updated the 1080p package. I think if you are using lower res 720p artwork would probably display like this because I move the images around but I didn't replace the lower resolution artwork so the default artwork would show as moved around.

Thanks @Kuipofor the update! It can be obtained from Gale mod manager too

i was getting that same bug and a lot of melinoe misssing pictures (no errors though), played on 2560x1440

switched to gale and everything is working

I just uploaded a new version 1.0.2 that should fix some of the issues so far as well as adds a few more images that were missing.  It should be available in the next hour or so as it rolls out via the updater. You should get a notification when you launch r2modman that a mod you have installed has an update available.

 

Changes:

1.0.2 - 2025-09-30
Added

• Added the missing portrait Portrait_Nemesis_Averted_01
• Added the missing portrait Portrait_Artemis_Serious_01
• Added the missing portrait Portrait_Circe_Serious_01
• Added the missing portrait Portrait_Mel_Bath_Shock_01
• Added the missing portrait Portrait_Mel_Bath_Tearful_01

Changed

• Reduced mod dependencies (should be no change)
• Corrected position and scale of Portrait_Melinoe_Empathetic_01
• Corrected issue where sometimes the following characters would appear as original art:
  • - Hera
  • - Selene
  • - Demeter
  • - Hestia
  • - Eris
• Added the missing glow around the ghosts for Portrait_Dora_Thoughtful_01

I'm using 1440p with High quality, and 95% of the images work properly... It's probably a resolution issue, but it's noteworthy that the images that are 'moved' are vanilla art.

Hmm… thanks. I’ll keep an eye out for what caused it, that’s good information. Thank you

Love the portrait mods but what would really seal the deal and make me play the game would be a 3d nude mod of the MC, is there anyone working on it?

I saw someone mention somewhere that all the characters are now actual 3d models instead of bespoke individual pre-rendered video files, so that's possible. A bit early for that though, and it would take a lot of work for all the animations, but I'd imagine later on down the line it would come out, depending on how easy it is to manipulate models in the game files

[BallSacSeller]

Guys how do i use this mod if i pirated the game (please don't judge ill buy it when i have more money than what i need to eat T-T)

[Elsinoir]

Hmm, @Dorian Bates any chance you'll be working on more characters now that the game is officially released? Love your work!

Hey @Kuipo just started using your mod, thanks for it! Just wanted to tell you that I noticed the Aphrodite angry(?) portrait is just showing the original art and is off center.

[Brokski7]

I seem to be running into issues setting up the mod, the importer keeps telling me that it failed because it couldnt find a file but i know its there im so confused "game/animations/portraitanimations.sjson" ?

Thank you. I had taken a look at this but couldn't understand what was going on. You reporting this made me take a second look at it and I realized that I had a corrupt file in my install. I verified the local files and was able to add a fix for this issue.

What are you using to install it?  There shouldn't be a need to use an importer if you're using one of the mod installers.  As a note, I don't touch that file in my mod at all (but maybe one of the dependencies does?).

Well earlyer in the chat someone was saying there was a mod importer to get it to run and I was fallowing the steps because I wanted to see the same art work of the normal game just nude edited but when I couldnt get it to work I just swaped to your method witch seems to work though its bit of a shock to see it get coverted to anime, but thats where my comment was. 

[Kuipo]

Oh ya, I don’t think anyone has updated the modified original art mod that I know of.

It does work. Atleast for me.

After the new update the portraitanimations.sjson got changed to GUI_Portraits_VFX.sjson. so if you want to use the old mod just change the name from portraitanimations.sjson to GUI_Portraits_VFX.sjson And also change the modfile.txt aswell.

I have a silly question. I have the game on Steam. If I use Kuipo's mod will I get locked out of the achievements system? I had that happen to me with a Balatro mod that added only nsfw art on the cards.

Nope, achievements trigger with or without mods

This might be out of your wheelhouse, but I have a Mac and am trying to install kuipo's mod through r2modman on Crossover. I've got r2modman installed in the same bottle as Steam and Hades 2, and followed these instructions to get r2modman to work (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_Nq-d5LX9g), and downloaded kuipo's mod, and double-checked that the right folders are selected, and click "run modded" and... the game looks the same. Dunno if you know anything about Crossover, but if you can think of anything I might be doing wrong I'd appreciate the help - would love to use your mod, it looks great
