TrickyLady - your character's screenshot is in the Senate library. The key thing about being a Lower House member is not just that you might take a reign - it's that you may be asked to fight a battle in another person's reign at 48 hours notice. There's no urgency at the moment, as we have more Lower House people than generals and you character is still rather young to take a field command. But your man really does seem to be marked for greatness and it would be a shame not to use him eventually.
TinCow will update the other screenshots when he returns to his computer, but IIRC they have not changed much so far. I am going to post a savegame Senate278s.zip later tonight that Lower House members can download to find out how their characters have changed.
EDIT: With the latest version of the Metropolisis and Naval mod out, I've revised the installation instructions in post #2 yet again. I realise this constant patching is a pain for Lower House members, but the revisions do help with some minor bugs. What I recommend is that whoever becomes First Consul reinstall the mod when they take office. But other Lower House members can probably patch as they go along (I just installed the latest MN over my existing installation and then did the last 2 steps again).
EDIT: I also get the CTD that DDW reported when I attack Rhegium. Grrrr... I am going to load my prebattle save as Rhegium.zip. Anyone with the mod installed can try it and see if they also get the CTD.
