Good portrait mod with Seasonal Outfit support?
Playing the game for the first time and I'm looking for mods to enhance the experience. The vanilla portraits are... alright, but the art style doesn't really do it for me. Here's some of the things I'm looking for:
  • Cuter. Not necessarily anime/chibi, but those would generally qualify.
  • Pixelated. I feel like HD portraits would clash with the rest of the game's visuals.
  • Unique/dynamic poses for each character. Some portrait mods make everyone look the too similar to each other.
  • Retains the original appearance of the character. I'm looking for a style change, not something that transforms everyone into girls or furries, or turns monstrous NPCs into humans.
  • Support for Seasonal Outfits. This seems like a cool mod, but I don't know how many portrait mods support it. As far as I'm aware, the vanilla game doesn't support seasonal portraits/outfits, but maybe I'm wrong on that.
I really like the look of the Fisharia portrait mod, but I don't think it supports Seasonal Outfits, and I saw a lot of posts on the mod asking for SVE support. Not sure I'll use SVE on my first playthrough (should I?), but if I plan to add it later on then I'd like a unified look across all portraits.

Recommendations?

Seems like Nyapu's Portraits covers a wide variety of mods in addition to the base game. Still doesn't seem to support Seasonal Outfits, but perhaps I'm expecting too much. Maybe I'll do Fisharia for now and if I add other mods like SVE, Ridgeside, or East Scarps I can switch to Nyapu's.

Go to Seasonal Outfits - Slightly Cuter Aesthetic. Click on the Requirements top down menu. Go to "Mods requiring this file" and look through the list.

Elliott's New Frontal Portraits for Vanilla and Yandere Mod comes with their own seasonal sprites and is fully compatible with the SCE mod, matching it's clothes. Therefore it isn't on the list.

It seems like most or all of those mods only target a single character and/or are the same artstyle as vanilla. Perhaps Seasonal Outfits isn't a very popular mod? Or maybe portrait mod makers can't be bothered to do all the seasonal variants on top of everything else (it would be a lot of extra work)? I suppose this falls into the realm of, "If you want it, then do it yourself." Sadly, I'm not exactly a good artist.

Edit: 1oxnes and talkohlooeys' Seasonal Portraits looks like a full art style overhaul with Seasonal support, and has a mod for SVE as well. I think it looks nicer than vanilla, but not as nice as some of the other mods. It's also an HD mod. Hmm, I'll consider my options.

Heh. look at the download numbers. It is a very popular mod.

It's a ton of work making every single seasonal portrait for every NPC. It's already a ton of work doing a non seasonal full cast portrait mod.
