Generating the Mod Structure.
The game has a built-in tool for creating your mod’s structure automatically. First, click the Mods menu to access the Mods Toolkit, then click the Show Wizard button. You can see an example in the attached screenshot.


Clicking on Generate Mod Template will automatically create the essential folders for you and open your computer's file explorer in that location.
Adding or Changing Portraits
1. Portrait Requirements
  • Images should be 400x720 px or maintain a similar aspect ratio.

2. Where to Place Your Files

For player characters store your portraits in:
  • Mods/MyModName/Artworks/Female/
  • Mods/MyModName/Artworks/Male/
  • Mods/MyModName/Artworks/Non-Binary/

For overriding companion portraits:
  • Place the new images in Mods/MyModName/Artworks/ and name them according to the character you’re replacing.
  • Example: To override Eric’s portrait, name the file Eric.png; for Jocelyn, name it Jocelyn.png.
  • For Better Organization, you can use subfolders like Mods/MyModName/Artworks/Companions/, and the game will still recognize them.
Adding or Replacing Action Art
Custom action artwork is similar to portraits but requires a different image size. Here's how to add or replace action icons in your mod.

1. Action Art Requirements
  • Images should be 256x256 px or maintain a similar aspect ratio.

2. Where to Place Your Files
  • Place your images in Mods/MyModName/Artworks/Actions/ and name them as the action you want to replace or create.
  • Example: To override Feed, name the file Feed.png.
