That's understandable for parts that refer to story-relevant things, but for pure modding values that belong to features/traits of the races it's a bit over-secretive, don't you think ? (and bsds. it's necessary to know if you'd like to choose this one or another, in this case, imho. - And in my case you couldn't spoil me with anything anyway, because the time I will start really playing (your mod or any other), I'm certain I will have forgotten about these things anyway. (I guess that's the advantage of getting too old. )

Ok, I get it, you don't want it - that's a pitty, imho, but I'm fine with it, too.

No, your hands aren't "tied about that" ! You just need to insert a new line in the first sentence (in the XML) where the game-window cuts your description on the right ! - Just try it, it even works with all interface-sizes (and the other graphical settings set to default).

Wow - you managed to replace the character art!
Would you mind sharing how you did that?

I would LOVE to be able to do that too, but I guess it's a complicated process...?

I'd very much like to replace the character portraits for humans and aliens with custom art. Doesn't have to be a moving image at all. Being able to replace the current art with a static image would already be perfect.

So far I found files such as "Human.png" in "Data/CharacterAnimations" and already fiddled around with it a bit. Managed to get a female face on one of the human male bodies. Also managed to replace one of the bodies, but that's rather crude and patchworky.

Having an easy way to insert custom art, let's say a character render from Daz Studio or some random character and/or alien portraits from the web would be a dream feature.

In any case: your project looks awesome!
Cheers!
