I have a couple of mods that are made to help you out if you have a lot of portraits, but I added them after this started happening as a hope of a fix, but nothing changed and ya, I'm checking the bodies and portrait folders and the bodies are at 257MB and the portraits are at 50.7MB.

I haven't tested this, but I'm fairly certain that the game only remembers 1 directory (and all of its children) at a time. It still remembers what images have already been selected for characters, simply doesn't keep track of all the possible characters. You may be able to distribute your images over several directories (like portraits, portraits1, portraits2) such that the game never tries to load all of your images at the same time. Not the cleanest of solutions, especially since the game must load the current selection before you can change the selection to a different directory. Never the less, a "not the best" solution is certainly better than a game that crashes and can not be played at all. Although this wouldn't work if you want the game to auto-assign images for you. But if you are doing that you could skip clicking the portraits button to begin with.
As a separate thought, depending on how your images are currently organized (multiple levels of directories and long file names), it is possible that the game is actually dying on too long of a path name.

There's a wiki, though it's woefully out of date. I haven't seen an updated guide myself, but that doens't mean one doesn't exist.

Not sure why it isn't in the OP, but probably the most common question here.
1) For answers to most questions, all the mods, and all the portrait packs, check out the main website/forum at Itch.io -
You must be registered to see the links
2) copied from a post there:
- "Where i need to place them?" - "C:\Users\userName\AppData\Roaming\Strive" or %appdata%\Strive - press win+r keys and paste it or just type in address bar. There's a "portraits" and "bodies" folder in that "Strive" folder.
- Alternatively, within the game you can click on Portraits or "Full Body Image", then click the right side button that says "Open System Folder" - it will open the actual folder that you can then drag the portraits and body images into

A few ways. Initially I keep them in jail until they're no longer angry at you. Buying the jail upgrades helps, as does having a good jailer. While in jail try abusing them to get their fear up.
Once in your mansion, meet them frequently and make them love you - increases obedience and loyalty. Sex helps if you don't stress them out.
Maid. Uniforms. On. Everyone.
Yes quite easily. All the files that you download are easily edited in Notepad or Notepad++ (or, obviously, any text editor). Starting races is tricky - I think you have to edit at least two locations, and a third if you want a special starting bonus (I think it defaults to the human bonus otherwise). In Notepad++, my literal favourite feature is "find in files" - searches all the files in the folder and helps you figure out what to edit. For instance, search for "demon" and find where demon is listed as part of the list of starting races. Then add Centaur/Slime/Dragonkin and go to town.
is there something wrong with the loading of portrait? When i reload the game, the main character portrait is missing.
So uhhh, i was playing this game for the first time in awhile and have already run into a glitch. For some reason i have 2 tisha hales after her quest line. Im not complaining but wtf? It even says in her sibling relations, Tisha Hale and Emily Hale.

Possible mistake with a sidequest/mechanic:
Also I got questions!
Trapper description says 50% chance to capture escaping person, does that use rope out of your inventory or is free rope?
How do you increase characters stats? Like if it says charm 37/75?

Honestly not sure on trapper as i dont bother with it. One of the less useful specs imo as ropes are dirt cheap anyway. I'd assume its a free rope though as it says 50% chance to automatically capture escaping person. Imo, ranger is much better for drop rate, you can just get a full team of maxed rangers with enchanted equips and enchanted warhammers and you are guaranteed to stop enemies from escaping.
As for character stats you now need to teach them during non sexual interactions or send em to the library. They will gain learner points with this and then you click the tab learner points in the same menu as job/room change. You can see that learner points are used to get skills and also used to upgrade courage/confidence/wit/charm. Would suggest to upgrade wit to max first or upgrade library to max as they both influence the amount of learner points a character gets.

Thanks @Brontanius . I figured it would be library, but progress was not noticable at all, guess cause it starter library.
