Basic Nessassities - Prettier Paragons

Description
Think some of the paragons need a bit of rejuvination at a nearby space spa? So did we.

A quick mod that gives the following their day at the space spa they deserve:
  • Kai-Sha
  • Jynn
  • Vas the Gilded

Frequently Asked Questions that Nobody Asked

Give me a break! Why didn't you do Zosira K'Tun!?
Because we'd probably give her two eyes and some kind of crazy hairdo. Also that means editing the mesh and redoing the animations.

Will you do X paragon in the future?
Highly unlikely. This was just was a quick mod done on a whim.

Will this work for X version of Stellaris!?
This is a simple texture replacer so it should work for any version of Stellaris. We'll try and keep the descriptor version bumped though.

Is this Ironman compatabile?
It should be as we're only replacing textures here!

1- Except I'm a girl. And she's ... let's say... in dire need of a spa trip. So hence this mod. :lunar2019laughingpig:
2- Antialiasing? What are you even talking about? This is a 2D texture with mips. I did increase the resolution however on all of them. That could potentially cause harsh edges perhaps on lower resolutions maybe. If you're using a the updated GUI mod though there should be no issues and the larger resolution is an enhancement.
3- Jynn was female and should look it. Erasing women is misogyny. :lunar2019crylaughingpig:

This just makes them worse lol. Why have the textures had their anti-aliasing removed? I don't know whats wrong with gamers, where any character design for a woman that doesn't abide by the latest male gaze standards c. 2006 is decided to be "ugly". Kai-Sha looks very real and severe in her standard form. This "rejuvination" makes her look completely fake. And why remove the dreadlocks? Why the removal of the androgynous features of an androgynous character in Jyn? All of this reeks of bigotry and misogyny.

at least mods in the future won't be in as much turmoil as the patch cycle is now every 6 montjhs

Seems I was on the older version. So what appears to have happened was.... female --> indeterminate --> random. The current gender is random on Present Day™ Stellaris. :lunar2019laughingpig:

So Jynn can randomly be male. Might consider extending this mod a little bit.

- Make Jynn always female. Perhaps give her some hair. Means editing vanilla files but I'd have to anyway for second idea:
- Make all paragons immortal.

That second point bugs me as my usual leaders are immortal (elves) and the paragons keep dying after a measly 200 years or so. Annoying. :lunar2019deadpanpig:

Okay, all this time I thought that Jin was male, then thanks for the mod, I'm tired of watching how in our time they deliberately disfigure female characters, maybe (addressing the author of this masterpiece) you will want to go further someday and we will see a correction of female portraits of many vanilla races, once again a huge thank you
TheGrandN  [author] Nov 10, 2024 @ 12:04pm 
Could add some hair though. Maybe this will get an update. Getting some ideas... :lunar2019piginablanket:

No, Jynn was a girl. At least originally. I just checked and the latest version has indeterminate. Well she's a girl now. Again. :lunar2019grinningpig:

I have one question - why did Jin change gender? He is a male character, isn't he?

I don't know why Paradox makes them ugly. Now, Kai-sha looks so friggen pretty. Ominous and yet beautiful. These are the kinds of mods i appreciate so much. Thank you!
