Character Portraits

Electrocution is the worst - the portrait is flashing constantly during it, since each switch between the skeleton outline/normal appearance results in the portrait being regenerated. My computer doesn't run the game too badly most of the time, but that slowed it right down.
Didn't someone in the bork thread say that the relationship panel and the phone book were taking forever to load due to having to get the most up-to-date portraits?

I've had this happen one several occasions, especially when they have large list's of sims.

Overwriting the fugly poses seems to work great. If anyone is interested, I've posted a "How To" in the Peasantry.
I cannot say if overwriting all poses with the same animation will improve the lag problem, though. Thankfully, I haven't experienced any lag with all the different poses, either.
Crash:
Hmm, it is possible the portraits regeneration crashed my game due to lightning strikes. I was on a vacation community lot, with really bad weather and hot springs = multiple lightning strikes on sims. Which eventually led to the game crashing. This 'feature' seems like a VBT.
I realize this can't be stopped all together, but can it be made to not do this all the time? I don't know exactly what kind memory clog we're talking about, but it certainly doesn't look good.
Question: does it somehow regenerate portraits even for non playable sims? Because that would be horribly bad.
