I did ask the same earlier in this comment section. I do not want any of these Ideology Icons, so I went into the folders; as the Modmaker helped me with:

go to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\394360\2452231589\interface" and delete countrypoliticsview.gfx

One thing I did different is I outright deleted the interface ideology folder aswell as I dont need the Icons themselves on my drive when I dont want to use them. They are located in
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\394360\2452231589\gfx - Just delete the ideologies folder.

the sub ideologies do exist..? you just dont see them due to a lack of unique icon

I really like this mod but the changes to the sub-ideology icons completely kills it, because in the base game those extra sub-ideology’s don’t exist, and when switching ideologies it picks icons that make no sense. Is there a way to fix this? Thanks.

A lot of people put this mod in packs with mods that aren't compatible with it, which has always confused me. What can you do though

Still great mod though, i always use it when playing vanilla. In R56, i havent seen any other portraits being incorrect or missing other than Tojo when he takes charge of Japan.

Oh my bad then. I got to this mod times ago from link on other generic portrait mod that sad "recommend this if you have RT56 etc."

This mod is not compatible with R56 or any other mod that has different portrait file paths. Never has been

Hideki Tojo leader portrait in R56 is replaced with random generic portrait with this mod.
It's been like this for a long while, i thought this mod is meant to be compatibile with R56?

Thanks for bringing it to my attention, will take a look at it

said this in the discord, but put it here too for good measure:

portraits for china & chinese warlords may be bugged. Zhang guotao's unique portrait isn't showing up, only a generic. Same story for Cheng Peng in Yunnan, GXC's portraits seem to be working properly.

would it be possible to get rid of some of the older portraits that are no longer used? (iceland has a couple), or if you wanted to save them for later, shove them in an unused/future use folder?

Nope, they are just icons. They don't modify ideologies as that would break Ironman

do the ideology icons modify any existing ideologies or add new ones?

maybe some of us like the icons bro

Not removing content from my mod based on the whims of two people. That being said, if you wish to remove the icons, you can navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\394360\2452231589\interface and delete countrypoliticsview.gfx

i second the "Can you make a Mod without the Ideology Icons?"

Why is it part of the Mod anyway? I just want generic Leaders.

can you make a version without sub ideology icons

for me i like to change random things around post-main game since i usually play up until the early-mid 60s, i dont want FDR or anyone like that leading the country by that time so i like to have generic leaders be there as a way for it to not be so much of an eyesore on my brain everytime i'd look at the United States.
it's a little weird, i know, i just like to have some generic leaders there to kinda break things up yk?

Why do you want a generic leader for the USA? That's the part I don't understand at all. The USA has 12 leaders, and if you're modding leaders you could theoretically get whoever you want to lead the USA

is there any way to fix it? it kinda makes me go insane- ;w;

For North America the generic portraits, aside from those I already talked about, are mostly unchanged, because in vanilla it's very difficult to get a generic leader like that to pop up. So that's what you're seeing

if you'd like, i can provide a screenshot of it? its the same guy across all ideologies, sometimes just in a different uniform

i dont know what the problem could be

they all have different, randomly generated names but all identical faces

its the democratic, fascist, communist and non-aligned.
I use a "retire leaders" mod to purposefully get generic leaders

Is it the non-aligned leader? He is always the same, Carnot Wheeler. He's not a real person so he is given a unique generic of a lesser known leader. There's a few leaders like that with unique generics

idk why but it still has the same issue :c
same guy takes control of the united states no matter how many times i remove the current leader

This mod is incompatible with other generic portrait mods, yes.

for some peculiar reason, using this mod the SAME guy takes control of the united states over and over.
this may seem like a very silly question but would this be incompatible with other generic portrait mods?

For Romania is showing the same guy in every division commander, making every new general you hire the same long haired. Any work around it? I really like this mod, I combine it with sensible portraits. Have tried both and this is the one ruining Romania. Thanks for the work gl

Great mod, but can you make a version that also keeps the base game generic portraits anyway? I'd still like to use them combined with this and other portrait mods.

Great mod, but just wanted to say, the portrait of 'Kim Il Sung' seems to be incorrect. Looks nothing like him.

In Argentina, the portrait of Marcelo T de Alvear is not correct! This is the only odd thing I found in this mod, after that, everything is perfect.

Will you add women portrait ?

Will you add portraits to new nations from GOE such as Palestine?

thanks you man for moroccan portrait

Britain had also decolonised their territories and they've turned Communist, yet my African puppets still share leaders with them even though they are different ideology.

I released all French and Spanish territories in Africa as Democratic countries, playing as the Netherlands or more specifically the European Union.

North African countries have hardcoded leaders, so they should mostly be unique. As for mostly everyone else, there are 20+ portraits in the generic pool for Africa in this mod. 6 for Communists, 5 for Democrats, 6 for Fascists, and 9 for Non-Aligned. Which ideology did you release as, and how many countries? The system works poorest when releasing a large amount of countries as one ideology, I built it more for if you're playing as Africa decolonized or are decolonizing as Britain.

I just want to point out that when releasing nations in Africa, it's the same 3 portraits throughout the whole continent. Just a suggestion maybe in the next update add more African leaders. Great mod btw!

Will do, but most GFX mods work just fine regardless of game version, unless they're very very old.

please update... forgot how much I dislike generics

I wish the nation releasables had their own leaders also :/

Appreciate it, if you want a different portrait for any character, go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\394360\2452231589\gfx\leaders

In your case, you would then go to SOV, and replace Stalin with your dds file of choice. That's how I started out portrait modding.

I am glad they left Adolf untouched. If he touched Adolf I wouldn't be able to use a different reskin mod on him.

I would like to mention 2 things.

The Stalin reskin feels too gray.

Francisco Franco is shown twice with the only difference is a very small aspect ratio change.

If you know how to override the Stalin reskin with another one then please let me know.

Ok goodbye!

that s good

thank you sir!

can you add portraits sutan sjarir,amir sjarifudin,ngo din nem?

Please fix ettore bastico portrait

I love the mod, thank you for your hard work. Would it be possible to make Vasyl Vyshyvanyi von Habsburg as the default non-aligned leader for Ukraine? I like having him as the leader of a free Ukraine during my playthroughs but unfortunately he only becomes the leader after a specific focus on the Hungarian tree.
