SYNC.BIN files will replace or be used over original game files as well as modded files.
In order to change these you need to edit SYNC.BIN. You need to find and replace every instance within SYNC.BIN. Also every NEW updated SYNC.BIN will need to be modded.
For some people it will not be worth the trouble to have correct updated or personalized portraits.
For others here are some instructions to get you started: viewtopic.php?f=236&t=104811#p1922663
I will eventually update this with a how-to showing chr_r files as the example if needed.
This tutorial is just a specific example using maumau78's tutorial: viewtopic.php?f=226&t=102385
A very useful program is editpad pro there is a free version. You can use any hex editor that can open and edit SYNC.BIN it is just that editpad pro seems to not have any problem with the size of the file and it's pretty easy to visually find what you are trying to do.
Using search chr_r1013 for LBJ's portrait you can see from the picture there is chr_r1013_a1.TXTR and also chr_r1013_a1.9b0d2d061d708a31.dds. If you find next you will see chr_r1013_a1.iff probably too. The point is there is more than one occasion where you will find this specific "chr_r1013" just use replace all to replace with an equal length of characters. I used "chr_x1013" in this example. chr_x1013 isn't real and will basically break the update and make it so that file specifically will stop overriding the portrait in the modded folder.
