Updated Feb (2025) 

~150 New portraits and filled out sub-races as well as cleaned up a fairly large problem i found with some of the dark elves and drow.

This pack is meant for the "Arric's expansion," as that it has ALL the sub-races that have been added thus far. (If I'm missing some let me know at the bottom of this page and I'll focus on that in the future.) This pack is also meant for those that assign their portraits manually for the most part.

I've been puttering around for a few years off and on making this and its honestly better than most of them out there, with one caveat...YOU ABSOLUTELY CANNOT USE OLD PACKS WITH THIS PORTRAIT PACK. The problem is that i have pruned, reworked, AND RENAMED many of the pics with their relevant portraits. What this means is that if you mesh this into your files then you will likely have a couple hundred duplicate pictures. While this won't break the game it can be very annoying if you like to find and assign portraits to characters based off their traits.

~2000+ Bodies/Portraits

~400+ 'bodiesnaked'

I RECOMMEND:

•   Go into your file explorer where you have your game (typically its your "C:" drive)
•   Navigate to your strive folder  
  • C:\Users\USER\AppData\Roaming\Strive
    • note that the APPDATA file can be hidden and you may need to navigate to 'view' at the top of the file explorer and allow yourself to see hidden files.
•   Delete the 3 files labeled 'Bodies' 'BodiesNaked' and 'Portraits'
•   Download this Portrait Pack and replace the files you deleted with the files in the pack.
• End (should be playable just like that but...)
  • If you don't want to assign your male's portraits i recommend you download a males packet to cover for the loss of all men's portraits in game.

Warning: This portrait pack WILL NOT play nicely with older packs. I have been pruning it for years and been re-tagging and adding more descriptions for older portraits to work with conquest as well. (You will have a ton of doubles if you merge) 

***Extra*** There is a folder called 'Perm Chars' (Permanent Characters) that is not integrated because i wanted a small list of specific characters for my game. feel free to integrate these into packs or use them how i do and assign them to characters you like in game. there is also no 'males' in their specified races because i gutted the ones i didn't like. (most of them) i have a separate file for them as well under 'Males'

Shout-outs:

Special thanks goes to the artists that post on "Rule34" and "Gelburoo".

---------------

There are no male folders in my pack that show up in their race, just a separate file for 'Men' (personal choice) that wont show up in game unless specifically selected in the customization tab in game. So to appease those that are looking for it, the "Buff Dudes" pack should fix most of the issues of having women's pictures when initially encountering males.
