⚠️ Common Mistakes

Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility

👍 Pros

Huge community trust (12,128 endorsements) — this is a go-to framework for portrait mods.
Massive download count (464,617) proves it's widely used and stable.
Flexible: lets you swap in higher-res or animated portraits, so it's not just a one-trick pony.

👎 Cons

Last updated in January 2023 — might have compatibility issues with newer game versions.
It's a framework, not a content pack — you'll need to find or make portrait replacements yourself.
No detailed instructions in the description, so you'll need to dig into the mod page or comments for setup help.
