Hello any and all I need help. I've been searching and trying many different things all to remove or hide side images in games with no real success. I'm wondering if there is a straightforward code change/tweak or even patch that can disable them? I've gone as far as removing the images and hitting ignore every time the error screen appears until I play through all the images once. Downside besides the pop up is that I have to do so whenever I stop and play again. If anyone can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.
How to disable side images.

I'm not sure what you mean by side images.
The least intrusive way of hiding images is to replace them with blank images, otherwise you will have to edit the game code to just not display the specific images.

Thanks for the reply. By side images I'm talking about the character picture by the text box. It is distracting for me. But I tried your advise with replacing it. Though I couldn't figure how to with blank images 
,I did create a black dot image and now there is only a black speck in the corner of the window. Totally worth a couple minutes of work thanks.
With a little more tweaking I was able to get the dot so small that nothing appears on screen. So thanks again.

I am very late to answer to this, but I put it here anyway in case someone else is interested.
There's super easy way to disable side images from pretty much any renpy game.
Find screens.rpy and open it with any text editor.
look for this line:
and change the "small" to "pc" like this:
save it and run the game

Code:
if not renpy.variant("small"):
add SideImage() xalign 0.0 yalign 1.0
Code:
if not renpy.variant("pc"):
add SideImage() xalign 0.0 yalign 1.0strange solution. now the side image will show if you don't play on a pc.
just comment the entire thing and no side image will show on any platform

It's not perfect but if you're on windows, mac or linux than it will do the trick.
but why would you suggest that solution instead of commenting the code, disabling it for everyone?

Oh, that's true. To be honest, I've never tried it before because I thought it would cause an error but it's actually better this way.
Well... I guess it's time for me to go to sleep
