Request for assistance!

There are a couple of stellaris mods that I like to be updated for the current version of stellaris, or at least an idea on a work around for these mods:

Smutty Space Ponies

[Stellaris] Kagami Species

Hentai game portrait mod

 

These are the mods I really like to use but for some reason they are not working for the current version; I did double check the descriptor file for each one that led to them and made sure it was staged properly, but still not showing them within the custom section for faction making.

If anyone has a easy method to get it connected properly, I'm all ears and thankful for the assistance

This is my current setup for stellaris and i'm currently using Irony mod manager, if there is a certain mod here that someone recognize with a high chance for conflicting with the three aforementioned mods, plz let me know so I can make the changes to my setup. 

 

Update_1: I'm noticing that the pathing prompt is sometimes reverting back to it's previous setup, even though the default setup isn't the right method of pathing for mods on stellaris. I use C++ note pad to edit the pathing to be the right method of pathing for the stellaris mod.

I just posted portrait updates for these mods if you want to try them. The only aspects that were updated for the hcgportraits and space ponies were adding the portrait files, so any other problems with the mods may still be there. For the Kagami, I added the portrait files and added in the previous fix for leaders that was posted earlier in the thread. If none of these portraits are working for you after this, let me know and I will take a look again.

It worked! Thank you for this assistance; but what's the issue with the original one that isn't able to work properly but the updated version you provided was able to work perfectly well?

[regenus]

If you are just looking for what was changed, for the hgcportraits and space ponies all that was changed was adding the portrait_categories and portrait_sets folders and their contents to the common folder in the mod. In both of these folders are text files that are needed for the new version of the game.  These used to not be needed, but with the changes to how some base game biological species now also have cybernetic and synthetic versions of that species, there new files are now required. For the Kagami mod, in addition to the portrait categories and portrait sets I also added in the fix to the 07_kagami_portraits in the kagami\gfx\portraits\portraits folder that was posted earlier in the thread. This change stops a previous bug that was causing all leaders and pops to have the same portrait, but still has a problem where the gender of the leader does not always match up with the picture. I am not sure if this helps, but if you need any more information let me know.

So it's an extra command within the file that needed to be implemented and not just the descriptor but for the rest of the folder as well. Is that right or am I overthinking that?

[regenus]

Correct, the descriptor is the same as it was in previous patches, just needed the new files.

[JerichoAzariah]

are the changes to the file easy to do through a C++ notepad or does it require certain command prompt from the current version of the game to make it compatible?

[regenus]

Yeah I just used notepad++ for the edits.
