With this mod, a portrait for the player can be shown on the left side of dialogue boxes in customizable situations.

Display Options

There are three options for deciding when to display the player's portrait:

ShowWithQuestions - show with question dialogue boxes
ShowWithEvents - show during events
ShowWithNPCPortrait - show when an NPC's portrait is shown

Portrait Options

By default, the mod uses the in-game farmer sprite scaled up 4x, facing right. The portrait is animated, blinking and showing clothing and accessory animations as well.

You can choose in the config to change it to front facing, and you can opt to use a custom static image for the portrait and background as well.

To use a custom portrait and background, you must change the config variable UseCustomPortrait to true, then use Content Patcher and target the following paths:

aedenthorn.FarmerPortraits/portrait

aedenthorn.FarmerPortraits/background

Portraits and backgrounds can be hi-res or lo-res, as preferred.

There is an example pack in the files section you can use as a template. You can install it and simply replace its PNG files with your own.

Thanks to Asterisk for the custom portrait used in the last screenshot!
