A Portrait Mod - Performing CPR on vanilla Portraits to improve your CKII experience!
CPR IS INCLUDED IN THE HIP INSTALLER
No more Arab Portraits everywhere.
What is CPR?
CPR (Cultures and Portraits Revamp) is a portrait mod that improves the character graphics of several cultures as well as adds many new portrait sets using mostly vanilla material. It fills in the gap between smaller portrait mods such as the Portrait Realignment Pack that fix things but don't add a lot of new material, and big portrait mods such as Crakd's stuff and BLC that has entirely new art assets to create new portrait styles. CPR isn’t meant to be 100% accurate - only more accurate than vanilla, and it also isn’t meant to be a large mod - it only adds a little bit to improve CKII’s flavor. All portrait DLCs, including Rajahs of India, are REQUIRED for CPR. If you do not have all of these DLCs, DO NOT install CPR in the installer!
OUTDATED:
CPR also includes several customization options for you to further customize your CPR experience. Don’t like the mediterranean portraits, but like the rest of the mod, for instance? Just use one of the customization options to make all European mediterranean cultures use the Western portraits instead. Compatches are also provided for Project Balance, SWMH/PB+SWMH, and CKII+.
Suggestions and feedback are always welcome. Feel free to use CPR or parts of it in your mod, and though it is not required, it is highly recommended that you credit me as part of modding protocol.
Installation
To install, simply unzip the mod into your mod folder. Further instructions on compatching and customization options are included in their respective folders.
