Project Xenotype: Chapter 2: Ascellians

Pending Update to 3.12.x ⚠️



Project Xenotype is an ambitious undertaking to revamp and expand vanilla Stellaris portraits.
As an evolving project, this mod will continue to grow as more content is developed over time.

This version is not achievement-compatible, but the Lite version is. You may find it here.

Here's what's included so far:

Humanoid 03:
• Universally revamped and reworked artwork supported by a plethora of original new pieces
• Rebuilt and refined base mesh for males and females
• 5 male and 5 female phenotype variations, each available in all 4 vanilla colors (40 total!)
• 24 unique headgear options for males and females (48 total!)
• 26 unique outfits for males and females (52 total!)
• Job- and role-specific outfit selection for all rulers, leaders, and pops

(An overall increase from 14 to 140 items. That's 1000% more content!)

Ascellians:
• Custom base mesh for a new female humanoid portrait featuring all-original artwork
• 6 phenotype variations in two body types, each available in 4 color variations (24 total!)
• 28 unique shared headgear / hair options and an additional 6 for both body types (40 total!)
• 30 unique outfits for both body types (60 total!)
• Job- and role-specific outfit selection for all rulers, leaders, and pops

(A flat addition of 124 new items!)



Please note that this mod overwrites the following file, and is therefore incompatible with any mod which also modifies or overwrites the following file:

gfx / portraits / portraits / 09_portraits_humanoid.txt

There are no longer compatibility concerns with overwriting existing species classes!
