    Yeah..

    I've learned to get used to it and accept it, but the system is still pretty janky. There is no reason that making, modifying and applying a portrait should be such an ordeal. If not the system complaining about certain props in the shot or not having enough of your character in the frame, it's giving you hassle with not updating and applying your portrait correctly because you forgot you used /visor on your headgear or something and it breaks the whole thing.

    It's just way too convoluted. Like I said, I've adjusted to it, but it's not an excuse for how poorly implemented the feature is. They've had plenty of time to fix it at this point, and really should.

    If it's not this it's them telling me my face isn't in it when it clearly is.

    They need to just remove the restrictions on portraits. It didn't work at preventing "indecent" portraits, and all it does is punish the rest of us.

    By the way, it works just fine with the Anima. That's how I originally came up with the portrait to begin with.

    Yeah, the portrait system can be pretty fussy sometimes. Your face can be clearly visible but the game thinks it's hidden. Your face can be not visible at all, but it approves. It's Calvinball rules.

    I'm surprised we didn't get Ron Swanson throwing the computer into the dumpster. That seems to be the standard now.

    The community only has itself to blame for the system being a pain to work with. Originally you could do pretty much whatever you wanted, so naturally a number of people made porn portraits. Now restrictions are in place to prevent that from happening with the unfortunate side effect of instances like the OP's image.

    Or they could just revert to the prior way that seemed to just work and if people want to have lewd portraits, well, so what? Mass murder, suicide, suggested SA, suggestive glam, exotic dancers etc etc all ok! Lewd player portraits??? oh, hell no!
