Manually spawning primitives?

[WhiteWeasel]

For RP reasons, I'd like like to have some pre-FTL species with specific portaits/traits spawn near my empire so I can play uplifter overlord. Through mods or console commands, how can one place pre-ftl empires?

Event primitive.30 spawns a bronze age species on a selected planet. You can add/remove traits from them via the console, but I don't know of any way to give them a portrait you want beyond saving and reloading.

Curious, is there a code that does it for pre sentient races too?

I think it could be possible to change the species portrait via savegame edit.
