If you're missing a portrait pack, the game will revert to another. Afaik, the last revert for non-European characters is the old Muslim portrait pack.
If you own everything and have CPR+ enabled, the Beta Yisrael should be utilizing the ethiopiangfx asset group, which uses East African portraits.
yea i got african portraits pack, along with south indian portraits, holy fury, and jade dragon if that's relevant
everyone in the region are black as they should be, except beta yisrael
everyone in the region are black as they should be, except beta yisrael
i dont think i installed CPR+ though. weren't the installer prevented users from installing if they dont have all the portrait packs?

}This is how the entry for the Beta Israeli looks like. The graphical cultures is the bit that matters if you don't have CPR in over your install. As you can see, the muslimgfx is only a fallback if you don't possess the DLC that contains the africangfx.
The issue is that you have African portraits (which are westafricangfx), but not East African portraits (africangfx), which are contained in the Reaper's Due Content pack.
Relevant snippet from cultures.txt:
Code:
falashim = { # Beta-Israel, originally compiled by Frostschaden, many more names added by cybrxkhan, some added and changed by elvain
graphical_cultures = { africangfx muslimgfx }The issue is that there is no westafricangfx fallback culture for Beta Israel.
Fixes are:
1. Get the Reaper's Due Content Pack for East African portraits or
2. Mod cultures.txt yourself to add westafricangfx in the middle of the list (in front of muslimgfx) or
3. Post in the bug report thread about the missing fallback culture -- including your version.txt so the team knows that CPR+ is not enabled.
