little improvements in the portraits?

[Captain Gars]

How come this is so difficult to understand?

Currently skin color is determined somehow like this in the character file

IF culture = Maghreb THEN skin_color = brown

and you'd just change it to

IF mother_skincolor = brown THEN skin_color = brown

It's not magic.

The only magical thing in this thread is your solution above...

This reminds me of a joke. Someone calls a photo studio and asks "can you remove a hat on a picture?" the clerk says "sure, what kind of haircut do you want the person to have?" and the client replies "can't you see when you remove the hat?".

That's funny, because it's true.

I love how fans always end up modding - and by modding I mean fixing - Paradox games until they are in the shape they should have been on release.

I love -and by love I mean strongly dislike- how some people latch onto minor details/their pet peeve and act like the game is broken.

So anyway, I went over to team CK and asked about this: Apparently it was fixed a while back. Pictures DO NOT change if someone's culture changes.

Folks. Characters have a culture and a graphical culture (which determines skin color and clothes). When a child is born, there is a 50/50 chance that the graphical culture is inherited from the mother or the father. So you can have an Arabic looking man of Frankish culture, etc. However, skin color is not detached from clothes, unfortunately.

 

[Doomdark]

Can we create new 'graphical culture' sets, with let's say clothes, armour and helmets for West Slavic cultures (Wendish, Czech, Polish, etc.), or Russian ones?

Yes

too bad that your funny joke is completely unrelated since the OP was asking NOT to change the portrait not the other way around as you suggest while pretending to be the know-it-all programmer of the situation.

The joke wasn't aimed at the OP but at Dorbagar and his suggestions on how "easy" these things would be to change.

I'm glad you guys took my advice and fixed this

"Apparently it was fixed a while back."

This made me laugh, and by laugh I mean I fell out of my chair while spewing coffee on my work mates.

That is the best kind of laugh

Alright, I'll bite. Show me two children of a White-Asian couple where one child is completely white and the other child is completely Asian. That's the situation here, yes?

Reminded me of this actually:
