would require a bit of folder micromanaging but it's possible to have multiple
(portrait mods are simply folders filled with PNGs that has already been neatly sorted and renamed by the modder according to the game's file naming rules)
which one do you suggest that have the most content, and do you recommend having multiple?

personally in my last playthrough i kinda enjoyed the ai-gen pack:

(cuz ideally i'd prefer paperdoll system like in free cities but this is the closest to that idea)

but there's a lot of alternative packs too u can browse them all here:

"Having hounds on the property reduces the chance of slaves escaping during the night, and for those so inclined unlocks the bestiality action." The first part is passive during the end of day. The second part is available as part of the sex interaction. Overall, it's not impressive as a feature, though it gets a little better with Aric's Expansion.

The game pairs body image to the selected portrait by replacing the path to the portrait folder with the path to the bodies folder and keeping the rest the same. So the relative paths and file names within each folder must be identical for the images to be paired like this:

.../Strive/portraits/Lamia/Lamia - Black Blue Hair - Red Eyes [ofuri].png
.../Strive/bodies/Lamia/Lamia - Black Blue Hair - Red Eyes [ofuri].png

I play on the aric mod, is it normal that the pregnancy factors didnt show anything? it just blank.
I have these mod in my load order:

Strive-1.0d-Bugfix-V6b
AricsExpansion
Constants
Drags&DropSlaves
SlaveSpreadsheet
randomportraits

edit :

Yes, that is quite normal when someone does not employ a nurse.
I re-install the mod and the game so many time, and spent the whole evening searching for this "bug",
never occur to me that it was a game feature for the nurse lol.

Is there really no way to do something as basic as changing how the hair looks? I'm pretty sure Free Cities had that option just by examining yourself, plus the portraits are mostly organized by hair color, the style of the hair seems to be an afterthought.

Considering you can straight up change their genetic hair color, the fact you can't change the style feels retarded.

The player character appears to have been implemented entirely separately from the slaves and as a result has some inconsistencies that weren't resolved, such as not being able to change the hairstyle. Currently the way to access to the player's hairstyle is by editing the save file, which is JSON formatted text. For slaves this option is found in the Customization tab.

The portrait organization and selection is largely run by the community. The unmodded game only considers the race names when selecting images, which are not provided. Mav never really got involved in the random slave images until recently in Conquest.

I would think it would be nice if it was possible for the children, etc. to get older. And then I can set that teenagers can have children at the earliest. Is there a mod that ensures that you don't get thrown money etc at you?

Where can I check supplies and is there a reputation bar? I want to know when I should stop capturing slaves.
"Supplies" is an item that appears in your inventory. Your reputations are listed in the player character inspection panel, which is accessed from the mansion navigation bar.

The soft cap on slaves is when you have difficulty feeding them, though there are various work arounds. The "hard" cap happens when the game crashes while loading the save file. I don't remember exactly how many triggers this, but most people don't have to worry about it. As long as you keep playing this probably won't have any effect, and while the game is quite stable without mods I recommend having a save file.

Can someone explain how exactly the library works? I get the general gist of it that it provides experience and learning points. However does that only apply to the person working as the librarian or does it affect everyone in the manor regardless if they're fighting mobs with me. Also, what does "experience efficiency decreases with level." Does this mean if the librarian has a high level the experience they give out to everyone is lower?
