Change Custom User PORTRAIT Image 2018-08-09

This is a setup I put together for myself as I did not like the default 15 user PORTRAIT images so I decided to create a mod to allow me to use my own real face image for my custom created character.

This mod will show how you can set your created character to have the PORTRAIT Image of what ever image you wish.


I will provide all the tools needed for this to work and explain below.

In this example I have already modded the DATA file so you do not need to mod this file however if you are using another mod that uses the DATA file then you can mod the DATA FILE.
If you require modding the DATA file and not using the pre modded file then the file you need to edit is:
Change the image location of one of the images to


Now if you use the modded DATA provided you can skip the above.
Simply replace the DATA file with the one downloaded from this mod into your game folder.


Now to edit and put in your image we must unpack the GFXPAK file so open ReMixer and select your GFXPAK file.

Once selected make sure to enabled the box for uncompress packed files. And extract the files to a folder from here we now need to open this folder of extracted file.
In this folder create a new DDS image and name it
You can edit the DDS or create a DDS image using X-Paint.Net which is provided in the download

Now that our PORTRAIT Image is created we are ready to pack our files back into GFXPAK so again open ReMixer and select to create a file
Select the GFXPAK folder that contains the folders/files"including new image"

Set file format to SBK-X/V8 "THIS IS IMPORTANT"
And enable the box to compress files and build the new file.

Now our new GFXPAK is ready go ahead and replace old GFXPAK file or rename old.

Load the game and now you should notice the PORTRAIT Image for our custom character has our new created image.
