Kenshi Portrait Editing & Serial Numbers.

Overview

Here you can find a simple guide along with an expanding catalog of portraits and their respective serial numbers so you can edit your Characters Potraits to have them face however you would like.

[Intro]

Welcome to the guide! The second one to boot! I’ve seen some questions start popping up recently on how to change portraits and how to edit them. Here is a Quick Guide on how to do so.

[Known Bugs & Solutions]

Portraits Appearing Blank
Portraits Appearing misaligned
Potraits having characters partially in the frame

For the above issues, you may find that if you do not care about editing exactly how the portrait looks that you can simply use one of the below solutions to fix the issue and move on.

Unequip and Re-equip different armor pieces like hats, masks, and chest armor.
Visit a plastic surgeon in-game and change your character’s stance, height, muscle mass etc.
Double-check any modded armor and see if removing anything resets the character portrait. An issue can arise where a modder updates the mesh and the character portrait gets pushed into an odd position because of this.
Save/Exit/Reload the game. Some changes may not apply until this happens.

[Editing Your Character Portrait Position]

Below you can find steps as listed by Vagrant in this discussion: [link]

Move the character you want to change into a squad by themselves.
Move the character you want to copy the portrait angle/direction into another squad by themselves.
Save the game and quit.
Open the FCS, click ‘open any’ at the top and head to your save folder
C:Program Files (x86)SteamsteamappscommonKenshisave
and then your save’s platoon folder and open the “Nameless_[#].platoon” – # representing whatever number squad the character you wanted to copy the angle from (the one from step 2).
You’ll notice there are a bunch of entries with just “0” and the last one will be the character’s name.
Open the last “0” entry.
Scrolls down the list for Portrait Serial and then copy this value.
Open the “Nameless_[#].platoon” that has the character you want to change and then just open that last “0” entry and paste the new value into Portrait Serial.
Save and exit FCS.
