    [​IMG] Just create a Portraits directory in your Baldur's Gate folder and put the portraits in.
    Next time you run the game, you'll be able to select them from the customization panel in the game.

    A quick question for you all. I just decided to play BG again so I loaded it up with TotSC and all the patches. I went to make my PC but my custom portraits did work. They appear on the screen - the file names do - but in the photo box all I get is a head with a "?" in it. What gives. To bmp file not work in BG? This files work fine in BG2 and IWD. Can anyone help me out? Thanks.

    Don't worry about answer. I found out that I need to reload that game for stuff to work. Thanks anyways. ;)
