Ultima VII Part 2: Serpent Isle with the Enhanced Sprites Patch, showing Shamino and Gwenno, as well as Gwenno's paperdoll.

The Ultima VII Enhanced Sprites Patch is a series of patches that were created by Zhelkas to be used with Exult, in the PC version of both parts of Ultima VII, starting in June 2025.

With this patch, Zhelkas made extensive edits in Exult Studio to several of the game's character sprites, mainly to match the characters' portraits more closely.

To apply, use Exult Studio, and copy over any character sprites, portraits and paperdolls you wish to replace. Offsets must be used for Gwenno's paperdoll portraits.

The patches have been released in 2 parts so far.

Part 1 was released in June 2025, and updated the sprites of 3 Fellowship members: Elizabeth, Abraham, and Hook. As these characters are only in The Black Gate, Part 1 only works with The Black Gate.

Part 2 was released in December 2025, and updated the sprites of 3 companions: Shamino, Dupre, and Gwenno. Anti-Shamino from Serpent Isle is also updated. Part 2 works with Black Gate or Serpent Isle, however the Anti-Shamino and Gwenno edits will only work in Serpent Isle, as these characters are only in that game.
