Captain Zhao’s avatar will be updated on July 22. You can choose to install it according to your needs.

"Partner Identity Enhanced Portrait Overhaul" is the main platform for my (original author Joel Sousa, the same below) CSE portrait works.

The master file provides a clean and consistent vertical reconstruction of the basic companion status enhancement experience.

The other files on this page provide portrait support for certain companion mods, Creation Club/Creation Items, and optional follower content.

Some of these portrait packs were originally published on separate pages by scope, but are now being consolidated into one main CSE portrait page.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
