Oh no, I'm sorry that's happened! To be honest I'm not super sure why they're not appearing - silly question, are you scrolling all the way to the bottom? That's usually where the custom empires seem to appear for whatever reason.
For now I've put out a little update that may reduce clashes with preset empires from other mods (literally just renaming text files) but I'm not sure what else it may be - if you're using a lot of other mods it may be worth switching some on and off to see if anything's causing a clash?

I don't know what I'm doing wrong but I can't for the life of me have the pre-made empires show up in the empire selection screen :(

what accession path would be accurate for the Daleks?

Odd, briefly testing with just the Dalek Shipset and this mod enabled (with either one loading first) I'm not seeing any issues. What was breaking? Happy to work on fixing compatibility if we can work out what's wrong.

Portraits are working now, thank you :)

There was a clash between this and my Sontaran mod (one was built over the other) - I've changed the Sontaran mod so the Reborn Dalek Empire should now appear when running both. The Dalek Shipset doesn't seem to be playing nicely with this mod, so I've removed it from the recommended lists for now.

Broken, wont spawn as AI civilization even when set to forced spawn

The portraits don't appear in the species appearance tab for custom empires. Also the preset empire Reborn Dalek Empire that has the Emperor from NuWho doesn't appear.

Are there original traits for dalek in this mod?
