Problem with Custom Portraits

[forcefield]

For some reason, when I use a custom portrait in Character Creation, during the process, all three portrait sizes appear correctly, but the moment the game begins, my char conversation portrait and Character Screen portrait change to the "default face in shadow" portrait. Why is that?

Normal portraits don't cause that, despite the fact Custom Portraits are the right size and format, and the game sees them and applies them correctly, but only during chargen.

Unity Mod Visual Changes doesn't help either, because any Custom portraits I apply change only the small portrait on the bottom of the screen, but when I switch to Character Screen, the portrait is still the "shadow face" one.

Please advise.

I had a very similar problem just now I tracked it down to the custom npc portraits mod deleting that fixed it for me however if you dont have that mod I wouldn't know

Dont know if anybody who still plays this game has no idea how to fix this problem, but here is the solution.
1) Download UnityModManager and follow its instructions so you have mod manager in-game.
2) Download "Custom npc portraits" mod and install it with UnityModManager.
3) Open in-game mod manager (ctrl+F10 is default combination to do it)
4) Find "Custom npc portraits" mod tab inside window that popped up. Open it with "sliders" looking icon.
5) Turn off the "Let the mod manage the portraits of main char, companions, and mercenaries." option. (uncheck little x inside a white square next to the text).
Make sure to save the config file, you do it with the button at the bottom of in-game mod manager window, wich says "save".
6) Custom character and companion portraits should work now.
