Baron's MEP Portrait Replacer VER 1.0 [For The Middle Earth Project & CKII 2.8.1.1]

ABOUT:
MEP Portrait Replacer is a sub-mod for The Middle Earth Project which adds almost 100 portraits from the LotR and Hobbit movies into CK2. Some characters have portraits that evolve over time; For example Bilbo Baggins will be portrayed as Martin Freeman during the War of the Five Armies period, but will appear as Ian Holm during the War of the Ring era. With a small handful of discrete exceptions, all portraits used are real people from the movies. I deliberatly wanted to avoid using fan art or other digital and drawn content, which means some characters that were pertinent in the books but were not in the movies were impossible to be portrayed.


---------------------------------------------
INCOMPATIBILITIES:

- Mods that add/alter custom portraits in the portrait_properties text file.

- Using ruler designer and/or the barber is untested and likely to cause portrait issues.

- Any MEP updates to the history files are likely to break this mod, which will mean an update is required. If that happens, let me know and I'll try update it asap.


---------------------------------------------
INSTALLATION:

1. Subscribe to "Baron's MEP Portrait Replacer" on Steam. Launch CKII. In the launcher mod tab enable both "The Middle Earth Project" and "Baron's MEP Portrait Replacer".

2.) Launch the game. The new portraits will appear on the world map as you are selecting a chartacter. (Note: They will NOT appear on the bookmarks screen, so don't panic)


---------------------------------------------
CHANGELOG:

VER 1.0 :
- Added 98 potraits; Majority related to War of the Ring era


---------------------------------------------
CREDITS:

- This mod was built on the framework of ReMeDy's AGOT portrait template. It would not have been possible without his awesome work.
