The largest KotOR mod archive ever

There have been three major repositories of KotOR mods: PCGamemods.com between about 2004-2006, KotORFiles, between about 2007-2012, and DeadlyStream. PCGamemods.com tapped out at around 750 mods for KotOR and 800 for TSL, or roughly about 1550 mods total. KotORFiles'counter stopped working at 1978 files for both games.

To make the console visible again, just enter and quit free-look mode again.   On an unrelated note, I have the impression from some

Advice about modding, no. 1...

Several points of advice which are worth knowing:   - Planning now means less time revising, fiddling, dawdling, and wasting time later; - Reading tutorials is never time wasted; - If you don't know how, read the tutorial, test the result, and then go and ask - it's the only way to learn; - 90% of the work goes into 90% of the mod; the other 10% of the mod requires another 90% of the work; - If you can't find the bug, it's probably very, very simple, and very, very obvious; - Label unique
