Questions regarding the content packs that come with the DLCs

[Silesian Burd]

Is there a way to shut off the "visual" content pack stuff that comes with the DLCs, without turning off the DLCs?

Here are some examples of what I'm talking about:
- The Old Gods Councilor models
- The Western European portraits that come with Holy Fury (especially the new kid portraits)

I don't mind the models all that much, but I find the DLC portaits to be incredibly jarring compared to the (admittedly dated) portraits that come with the base game. I'm not confident in being able to mod my game without messing it up.

the devs have said that all vanilla portrait packs are overwritten by dlc's and content packs now. maybe the answer to your issue is to get any content packs you might be missing

That is the exact opposite of what I need right now. This doesn't really answer my question, anyway. Does buying the DLC outright erase any of the vanilla stuff? What if I don't want the European portraits to look really bad?

Yes, you just need to disable them in the DLC section of the launcher before you start the game.

My advice would be to get rid of the base game portraits altogether and buy the Ultimate Portrait Pack to get nice and varied faces for everyone. For me that was actually the DLC that increased my enjoyment of the game the most. Or buy the individual packs, they're on sale right now on the Paradox Store.

Is there a way to do that without shutting off the DLC's features? There isn't one for turning off The Old Gods DLC's councilor models. This issue is the only thing keeping me from getting Holy Fury.

No, but thanks for offering. I actually don't like most of the new portraits, particularly the ones that are bundled with the DLC and that can't be turned off without turning off the DLC's features. I prefer the base game portraits.

When you're in the launcher you can scroll down and find the headings "Content Packs" and "Portrait Packs." See if the offending graphics are in any of those.

I do not think that they are.
