Consistent Bastila Recognition
By Leilukin
=Consistent Bastila Recognition=
A KNIGHTS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC II: THE SITH LORDS MODIFICATION
AUTHOR: Leilukin
FILE NAME: Consistent Bastila Recognition.7z
LATEST VERSION: 1.0
CONTACT: E-mail to contact@leilukin.com, or message to Leilukin on Deadly Stream
1. DESCRIPTION:
In KotOR II: TSL, entering the secret tomb on Korriban will reveal that the player character, the Exile, knew Bastila. However, if Bastila appears as a hologram in T3-M4's holo-recording, provided Revan is male, none of the dialogue options for the Exile when they talk to T3 allow them to mention Bastila by name. Instead, the Exile merely refers to Bastila with generic terms such as "the person in the hologram", presumedly because the hologram could be either Bastila or Carth depending on Revan's gender.
This mod aims to correct the inconsistency of the Exile not recognizing Bastila in the hologram, by making the Exile refer to Bastila by name when talking to T3 about the holo-recording.
2. INSTALLATION:
First and foremost, make sure you have The Sith Lords Restored Content Mod (TSLRCM) installed, since TSLRCM is REQUIRED for this mod to work.
Extract the Consistent Bastila Recognition.7z archive you downloaded to anywhere you like, as long as it is not within the KotOR 2 directory.
Run Install.exe. Select either "Default Installation" or "M4-78EP Compatible Installation", depending on if you have installed M4-78 Enhancemnet Project (M4-78EP) or not. You should choose ONLY ONE of these two options to install the main part of the mod.
Once you have chosen the installation option you want, and select your KotOR 2 game folder as your KotOR 2 directory path, click the “Install” button and let the installer do its job.
If you have also installed WildKarrde's TSL Expanded Ending, run Install.exe again, select the "TSL Expanded Ending Compatibility" installation option, then select your KotOR 2 directory path, and click the “Install” button.
***IMPORTANT NOTE FOR STEAM USERS:***
I DO NOT recommend using the Steam Workshop if you want to use this mod. Steam Workshop is frankly a mod compatibility nightmare, and I recommend reading this post on why Steam Workshop is NOT recommended for modding KotOR 2.
3. UNINSTALLATION:
Run Install.exe and select your KotOR 2 directory where you installed this mod. From the “Tools” drop-down menu, select “Uninstall Mod / Restore Backup”, then confirm to uninstall the mod.
4. KNOWN ISSUES:
None currently known. If you find any bugs or problems, please let me know.
5. MOD COMPATIBILITY:
Apart from The Sith Lords Restored Content Mod (TSLRCM), which is required for this mod to work, any other mods that modify T3-M4's main dialogue file, t3m4.dlg, may conflict with this mod.
I have set up the installer to install this mod by patching the t3m4.dlg file to improve compatibility with other mods that modify t3m4.dlg as much as possible, but it is still not guaranteed to be compatible with every other mods that modify the same file.
This mod is not compatible with my Alternate Revan Romances REDUX. Note that Alternate Revan Romances REDUX has implemented similar changes by making the player character refer to Bastila by name during T3’s conversation, so if you use Alternate Revan Romances REDUX, you do not need Consistent Bastila Recognition.
6. PERMISSION:
You may modify this mod for personal use or show this mod in screenshots. However, do not release your mods containing assets from my mod without my permission.
I do not use nor support Steam Workshop, so I do not want any of my mods to be uploaded to Steam Workshop.
7. CREDITS:

Crash Fix for Disable Vertex Buffer Objects
By Jiiprah
Using Disable Vertex Buffer Objects=1 (yes with the spaces) on the Aspyr version of the game causes crashes in certain modules. This mod disables normal/bumpmaps in all world models that had them enabled. World bumpmaps seem to not even be working in the Aspyr update, so there should be no visual difference. This was the biggest problem on G0T0's Yacht, which had constant crashing.

quest mod Telos: Citadel Station Medical Unit Droid
By Doodmane444
Install TSLRCM before installing this mod, as it relies on content from the docks.
Enhance your Citadel Station experience with this Medical Unit Quest Mod, which adds a specialized medical droid to the Citadel Station Medical Unit, along with a brand new questline.
Mod Features:
New NPC: Medical Droid: Adds a unique medical droid to the Medical Unit on Citadel Station. The droid serves as a central point for the mod's new questline. New Questline: Introduces a branching questline centered around the Medical Unit. Offers distinct light and dark side choices, impacting the quest's outcome. Explores and adds lore to the Medical Unit, Czerka Corporation, and Citadel Station. NPC Appearance Changes: Adds new visual appearances for commoner NPCs around the different areas of the Station. This will try to add a more unique feel to each area. Enhanced NPC Dialogue: Implements new dialogue options for commoner and Ithorian NPCs throughout Citadel Station. These new dialogue lines attempt to add more ambient information and world building to the station. Dialogue's may also reflect the players actions.
About This Mod:
The goal of this mod is to make the Medical Unit on Citadel Station feel a little less empty than it originally does. It attempts to tie in some lore to the Medical Unit, Czerka, and Citadel Station. The quest also features both light and dark side endings.
This mod also changes up some of the NPC's on Citadel Station by giving them more varied appearances and dialogue options, attempting to remove some of the cloning effect found in the original game. It adds a few alien commoners around the station with new dialogue, and also changes the appearances of a few of the human commoners. In addition, some of Ithorians in the compound have been changed so that they're not all blue. There is also new lines of dialogue given to each of the Ithorian's, so that all five of them don't repeat the same three lines.
Disclaimer:
Please only use the latest version, 0.98e.
There is still some dialogue that needs to be added and changed/fixed. Also, there are skill checks that don't work for some dialogue options in the quest, and they will just automatically succeed each time. I will try to fix the code/scripts relating to these skill checks if possible.
I apologize for any issues and or conflicts with other mods. This is my first time creating a mod for this game.
For future reference, I plan to add these characters later into the game at some point. If I can get voice acting to work in game, I plan to add new lines of dialogue to the human commoners as well.
Installation: Just use TSLpatcher and then put the files from the override folder, into the games override folder. Requires TSLRCM to be installed first, since it relies on content from the docks. You must start a new game for the mod to work.
I also highly recommend using this mod below, if you want to get rid of some of the cloning effect even further in other areas of the game. Use it in conjunction with this mod if you want even more NPC variety on the station.

Better Jekk'Jekk Tarr Thugs
By SuperChameau
Mod Description
This mod aims to give weapons to the Patrons of the Jekk'Jekk Tarr who attack you with their bare hands - mostly gands and rhodians (a very sensible choice against an armed jedi).
Also don't you find it weird how every patron of this bar are relaxing, but with their weapons out? This mod also makes it that they only draw their weapons once they become hostile and not by default.
Ossluk stats have also been slightly increased as part of this mod, and his gauntlets are dropped once you kill him.
Installation
Prerequesite: TSLRCM needs to be installed - and not through the Workshop for Steam users - for this mod to apply correctly
1. Run the HoloPatcher.exe and point your game directory when requested,
2. Click 'Ok' and let the patcher do its magic,
3. You're done ! Unless an error message appears the mod should be installed correctly.
Compatibility
This mod should be compatible with any mod that does not replace the utc files for the bar patrons in the Jekk'Jekk Tarr or edit the script that turns them hostile.
Special Thanks to
Snigaroo for the idea of this mod
TSLRCM team for the amazing work on the game

TSL Expanded Ending
By WildKarrde
Knights of the Old Republic 2 infamously has a rather abrupt ending: The player fights the final boss, there is some final dialog with said boss, and the game ends. The Sith Lords Restored Content Mod (TSLRCM) restores a couple of short scenes which provide some closure, but it arguably still feels like there are some gaps. This mod attempts to make the ending a bit more complete with the following changes:
A restored dialog option allows the player to choose to stay on Malachor and train other Force users. After the final dialog, the player contacts Bao-Dur's remote and chooses whether or not to destroy Malachor, which may be chosen regardless of player alignment. (If G0-T0 succeeded in disabling the remote, this conversation will not occur, and the player cannot choose to destroy Malachor.) If the player decides to destroy Malachor, all subsequent dialog takes place on the Ebon Hawk. If Malachor is not destroyed, the remaining party members rejoin the player in the Trayus Core. The player has a short conversation with T3-M4 and reiterates what they intend to do next. Atton, Visas, and/or the Handmaiden express their desire to accompany the player, as in the scenes previously restored by TSLRCM. The Visas/Handmaiden conversation is now available even if Malachor is destroyed, as long as the player freed the party from the academy's prison. Atton's dialogs will now only occur if the player has medium to high influence with him, loosely inspired by the "Unoffical TSLRCM Tweak Pack" by Pavijan357 (https://deadlystream.com/files/file/296-unofficial-tslrcm-tweak-pack/). Note that since these scenes all refer to the player leaving, they will not occur if the player decides to stay on Malachor. Thank you for downloading, and I hope you enjoy this mod!
-------------------------------------------------------------------
INSTALLATION
Run "INSTALL.exe" and follow the prompts. When asked, select the "MAIN INSTALL" option which matches your display's aspect ratio, 4:3 or 16:9. It is normal to see a warning that modulesave.2da already exists and has been skipped. If you are using The Sith Lords Restored Content Mod (TSLRCM) from the Steam Workshop, see this guide for how to combine installer-based mods with the Workshop: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=488641307
If you are using an aspect ratio other than 4:3 or 16:9, try the 16:9 option. The camera differences between the two versions are fairly minor, so ultimately you may use whichever one looks better to you. To switch between the two versions after the mod has already been installed, run "INSTALL.exe" and select "Convert to 16:9" or "Convert to 4:3".
For best results, I recommend using a saved game from before arriving on Malachor. However, using a save from after reaching Malachor will only result in a few missing sound effects, and the majority of the mod will still work.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
TRANSPARENT COCKPIT WINDOWS
Options are available to make the Ebon Hawk's cockpit visible through the front window during the new ending sequence, as in my mod "Transparent Cockpit Windows for TSL" (https://deadlystream.com/files/file/2355-transparent-cockpit-windows-for-tsl/). To use them, run "INSTALL.exe" again after the main installation is complete, and select one of the following options:
"OPTION - Transparent Cockpit Windows, Enhanced Reflections" - Adds an area-specific reflection to the Ebon Hawk's exterior. Not recommended if you use any mods that reskin/upscale the Ebon Hawk exterior. "OPTION - Transparent Cockpit Windows, Reskin Friendly" - More readily compatibility with reskins of the Ebon Hawk exterior. Does not include the new reflection. "Transparent Cockpit Windows" does not need to be installed to use these options.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
COMPATIBILITY
This mod requires The Sith Lords Restored Content Mod (TSLRCM) (https://deadlystream.com/files/file/578-tsl-restored-content-mod/). It has not been tested without TSLRCM installed. It is also compatible with the KotOR 2 Community Patch (K2CP) (https://deadlystream.com/files/file/1280-kotor-2-community-patch/). For best results, install this mod after TSLRCM, K2CP, and any other mods which make significant changes to the Trayus Core module.
This mod is incompatible with other mods which edit the ending sequence, including "Unofficial TSLRCM Tweak Pack" component 4 ("Atton's Ending Dialogue") by Pavijan357 (https://deadlystream.com/files/file/296-unofficial-tslrcm-tweak-pack/). It is also incompatible with any other mods which edit the Trayus Core area layout.
This mod has not been tested with the Steam version of the game, and it is possible that it might interfere with Steam achievements related to the ending of the game. Use at your own risk.

Thank you to the TSLRCM team for doing so much to expand and complete the original game and for restoring the original concluding scenes. The final scenes with Atton on Malachor still follow their staging, as I couldn't think of much I could do to improve upon them.
Thank you to Pavijan357 for pointing out in his "Unofficial TSLRCM Tweak Pack" that Atton's ending dialog makes less sense if the player has low influence with him.
The modified Ebon Hawk room models incorporate fixes developed by PapaZinos. Thank you to him for allowing me to use his fixes in my work.
This mod includes material ported from Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic by Bioware.

Mira's Vanilla Escape for TSLRCM
By WildKarrde
WARNING: Moderate spoilers below for the Nar Shaddaa plotline of KotOR 2.
One of the many scenes restored by The Sith Lords Restored Content Mod (TSLRCM) involves Atton rescuing Mira at the end of the sequence in Visquis' base after she is recaptured and locked up. In the process, it replaces a vanilla scene where Mira, not having been recaptured, has a brief encounter with a mysterious figure with an oddly familiar mustache. (This vanilla scene also parallels a similar scene which occurs if Hanharr joins the party, albeit with a less violent outcome in Mira's case.) This mod removes the TSLRCM rescue scene and returns the vanilla scene to its original place. To keep as much of the cut dialog as possible, I have also included an optional additional scene where Mira intercepts Atton on his way to rescue the Exile, which reuses most of the lines from the restored rescue scene.
I have also included some minor fixes and enhancements to the dialogs before and after this scene (the followings section contains a full list). If you would like these fixes but not the rest of this mod, I have provided an option which installs only those fixes but leaves the TSLRCM rescue scene as-is.
Thank you for downloading, and I hope you enjoy this mod!
-------------------------------------------------------------------
LIST OF MINOR FIXES/ENHANCEMENTS
The Exile's lightsaber remains activated once it is turned on when confronting Visquis, rather than repeatedly activating and deactivating. The Exile no longer freezes while objecting (or not) to Visquis' death. The Ubese guard remains in ready position on the Exile's dialog after flourishing his sword (may not be visible depending on the camera angle). Visquis groans in pain after being stabbed. If Hanharr joins the party, there are no longer duplicate Ubese corpses during the Kreia/Hanharr cutscene. Hanharr swipes at Kreia rather than slashing at her with invisible swords. Mira's animations during her conversation with Atton now properly activate. The Mira/Atton dialog before the warehouse sequence fades out as part of the end of the dialog, rather than after the dialog ends. -------------------------------------------------------------------
INSTALLATION
Run "INSTALL.exe" and follow the prompts. Select one of the following options:
"Vanilla Sequence (No Added Scene) - Strictly follows the vanilla scene sequence without the additional Mira/Atton scene. "With Additional Scene" - Includes an additional scene where Mira intercepts Atton at the docks. "Minor Fixes Only" - Leaves the TSLRCM sequence in place and installs only the minor fixes to the surrounding dialogs. The "Additional Scene" version requires a save from before arriving on Nar Shaddaa (specifically before entering the Docks area for the first time). If you are using The Sith Lords Restored Content Mod (TSLRCM) from the Steam Workshop, see this guide for how to combine installer-based mods with the Workshop: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=488641307
-------------------------------------------------------------------
COMPATIBILITY
This mod requires The Sith Lords Restored Content Mod (TSLRCM) (https://deadlystream.com/files/file/578-tsl-restored-content-mod/). It is also compatible with the KotOR 2 Community Patch (K2CP) (https://deadlystream.com/files/file/1280-kotor-2-community-patch/).
For best results, install this mod after any mods which make hard overwrites to 305alarm.dlg, 305kreia.dlg, visquis.dlg, miraapt.dlg, or 303nar.git. This mod is not compatible with mods which edit the same scripts as this one.

vibrocutter Vibrocutter changes
By Lewok2007
Description:
The vibrocutter is a restored item in TSL after installing TSLRCM. Originally in the base game pre-tslrcm, you would obtain a vibroblade instead. They can be found in a corpse outside the medbay after bashing open the door with a plasma torch. These items are useful making the first 4 mining droids you fight very easy, but what if you didn't want it the easy way, getting nothing instead? Or what if you want to get the vibroblade back? What if you want a medpac to account for the challenge? What if you want the vibrocutter later in the administration level? Well, this mod makes those changes for you, breaking it up into those 4 choices. NOTE: You can only choose one between the medpac, nothing, or vibroblade.
Installation:
First, extract the .zip and launch the Holopatcher.exe. Then, choose ONE of these 3 installation options:
"Medpac Replacement" (Replaces the vibrocutter with a medpac)
"Vibroblade replacement" (Replaces the vibrocutter with the vibroblade, like it is in the vanilla game pre-tslrcm) [Recommend to only install if you have TSLRCM installed before this mod.]
"Corpse has Nothing" (The corpse will have no items.)
NOTE: Installing another one of those after installing one already will overwrite the changes made. (i.e. installing medpac after nothing will undo the nothing and contain a medpac.)
Optionally, you can install the location change so the vibrocutter will be found in the security room. (You can also install this without any of the other installs so you'll get 2 vibrocutters on peragus.)
Tools used:
Holopatcher - Cortisol
Holocron Toolset - Cortisol and th3w1zard1
Permissions:
DO NOT reupload this mod to the steam workshop and DO NOT reupload this mod to any other site. If I want it somewhere, I'll put it there. You can use the files in this mod for your own as long as it isn't a direct reupload.

For Mandalore!
Gives Mandalore the ability to call a squad of Mandalorian allies to follow and aid in battle, with new allies unlocked as you advance through his personal quest.
SUMMARY
Mandalore has a personal sidequest which involves helping him reunite the Mandalorian clans by recruiting groups of Mandalorians you find on different planets. There is not really a reward or impact of this quest except for influence which unlocks some new dialogue and backstory.
This mod adds incentive and impact to this quest in the form of a new ability which allows Mandalore to call soldiers from his growing army into battle.
Mandalore will be given the item “Mandalorian Comlink" which allows him to call from a list of allies by allocating points and spending a small sum of credits. Points reflect the galactic strength of the Mandalorians and determine the quantity and power of forces you can summon. This will grow as you advance through his quest.
This mod also beefs up and arms Esok, the Mandalorian leader on Dantooine, who is normally unarmed and puts up an underwhelming fight.
This mod should be installed prior to Mandalore joining your party for the comlink to be in his inventory. If not, he will get the item upon recruiting the first group of Mandalorians. Otherwise you can get the item using the cheat "giveitem mandradio".
DETAILS
Allies & Points
To summon an ally, you need to pay credits and allocate points for the area you are in. You will start with 1 point to spend and 1 ally to choose from. As you advance through the quest and help Mandalore recruit more Mandalorians, he will gain additional points and unlock new, more powerful allies to choose from. See list of available allies below:
-----------------------------------
-----------------------------------
By recruiting both Mandalorian groups you will have 4 points in total to spend on reinforcements. When using only 2 party members (main character and Mandalore), you will get 2 extra points to spend. That means with the quest finished and without a third party member, Mandalore can allocate 6 points at a time to an area.
Allies will remain in the area they were called to until dismissed or until new forces are called to a different area. They can’t follow between modules.
By default the comlink will work on Dxun, Onderon Part 2, and the Ravager. It will become useable on Dantooine and Nar Shaddaa after recruiting the respective groups on those planets. The comlink will not work on Telos, Korriban, Malachor, Onderon Part 1, or Goto's Yacht.
Commands
Mandalore can issue the following commands:
1. Follow - Default behavior. Mandalorian allies follow Mandalore.
2. Wait - Allies will stay wherever they are.
3. Search and Destroy - Allies will search out nearby enemies and engage them. If no enemies are found, they will revert to Follow behavior.
INSTALLATION
To install, run HoloPatcher.exe and select the install option corresponding to whether you have TSLRCM installed or not. Make sure to pick the correct option.
Unaltered copies of any modified files will be placed inside the "backup" folder in the location of HoloPatcher.exe.
UNINSTALLATION
1. Remove the following files from override:
2. Remove 303NAR.mod and 605DAN.mod from the Modules folder.
3. Move any .mod files inside backup/Modules to the Modules folder.
4. Move any files inside backup/Override to the Override folder.
Alternatively, you can run the uninstall script via HoloPatcher (Tools > Uninstall Mod).
COMPATIBILITY & OTHER NOTES
Compatible with TSLRCM as long as TSLRCM is installed first and the TSLRCM-compatible install option is selected.
Please report any bugs or general weirdness.
Note about balance: Having a squad of Mandalorians at your side will obviously make fights easier. This mod is made for fun, but I have tried to keep balance in mind. Allies are scaled similarly to enemy NPCs, minus their damage bonus, so they will not be powerful enough to take on most groups of enemies alone. The credit cost, while modest, hopefully encourages more careful use of the ability.
Search & Destroy behavior can be a little wonky indoors, where NPCs sometimes have trouble pathfinding long distances. They may teleport or disappear temporarily. Switch them back to Follow if you lose track of them.
I welcome feedback on balance or features of the mod.
PERMISSIONS
Do not reupload this mod or any contained files without my expressed permission.

Thematic Obscured Mausoleum Burial
By JCarter426
This mod fixes some bugs with and makes other adjustments to the Secret Tomb area for mechanical and lore consistency. See the attached document for a full list of changes and the rationale for each change.
Installation
You must start a new game to experience the full effects of this mod.
Extract files from the downloaded archive. Run INSTALL.exe. Click "Install Mod" and select your game directory (default name SWKotOR2). Uninstallation
During installation, TSLPatcher generates a backup folder and a log recording which files were affected.
Restore dialog.tlk by copying the file from the backup folder to your game directory, replacing the existing one. Restore or delete all all module files affected by this mod. For each module, copy the corresponding .mod file from the backup folder to replace the one in your game's Modules folder if a backup was created, otherwise delete the .mod file from your game's Modules folder. Restore or delete all all .2da files affected by this mod. For each, copy the corresponding .2da file from the backup folder to replace the one in your game's Override folder if a backup was created, otherwise delete the .2da file from your game's Override folder. Delete all other files installed by this mod from your game's Override folder. Compatibility
This mod makes several changes in the Secret Tomb module and may be incompatible with other mods which affect that area.
This mod edits the script k_oei_userdef.ncs because the party AI has some Secret Tomb-specific code living there. This mod will not be compatible with other mods which edit that script without a compatibility patch.
This mod adds the texture pmbj02.tpc for a light-sided Revan's robes. This has the same filename as the Star Forge Robes in KOTOR 1, so mods which edit the Star Forge Robes may be used in place of the texture provided by this mod. Copy the file to your KOTOR 2 Override folder, overwriting the file when prompted.

Onderonian Senior Scientists do not seem to be very aware of the challenges Telos is facing with its Citadel Station, as one of them mentions Peragus Station needing fuel according to the news in Iziz Spaceport. This mod aims to correct this tiny oversight and was done by splicing a voice sample of the same reporter.

Vaklu Short Term Memory Fix
By SuperChameau
Mod Description
When meeting General Vaklu in the Iziz Marketplace during the civil war (assuming you made an alliance with him and not with Queen Talia), he will make an odd display of poor short term memory by repeating himself during your conversation. The incident goes as follows:
Line One: You should make haste to the Palace, because at any point they will have learned of your attack on their base on the Dxun moon. Together we will crush their army and then, deal with Talia.
Line Two: After that, it won't take the Sith long to realize they've been betrayed. But together we will crush their forces and then deal with Talia.
This simple mod attempts to fix this issue (and give the general more credibility) by removing one of the occurrences of the sentence. There are two versions of this fix, and they fix the issue by removing one of the repeated lines.
The first fix, by SuperChameau, goes as follows:
Line One: You should make haste to the Palace, because at any point they will have learned of your attack on their base on the Dxun moon. Together we will crush their army and then, deal with Talia.
Line Two: After that, it won't take the Sith long to realize they've been betrayed.
The second fix, by N-DReW25, goes as follows:
Line One: You should make haste to the Palace, because at any point they will have learned of your attack on their base on the Dxun moon.
Line Two: After that, it won't take the Sith long to realize they've been betrayed. But together we will crush their forces and then deal with Talia.
When installing the mod, you will either SuperChameau or N-DReW25's fix depending on which fix you prefer. It is NOT intended that you install both.

plasmatorch Viable Plasma Torches
By Lewok2007
Description:
This mod makes the Plasma Torch be it's own unique type of weapon. This allows the player to dual wield the Plasma Torch, or use it alongside another weapon. (the exception being blasters and stun batons.) Additionally, the animations played in combat will be the melee animations instead of the little "jabby" animation that plays for every type of attack. I haven't tested all animations, but so far the basic Critical Strike animation is the only one that looks off, in my opinion.
Installation:
Extract the "viable_plasma_torches.zip" archive to your desktop. Run the TSLPatcher within the folders, press install and locate your TSL Directory. (The folder with the game executable, not the override.)
Uninstallation:
Take the files from the "backup" folder, copy them to the override folder in your game and overwrite when prompted.
Compatbility:
Not everything has been tested with this mod and I am uncertain of any other items in game using the "Torch" column in baseitems.2da. Let me know of any incompatibilites with any other mods if you find any or if any items look off. (i.e. able to use a non weapon item as a weapon)
-> Is at least compatible with TSLRCM.
Tools used:
Holocron Toolset by Cortisol
TSLPatcher by Stoffe
Permissions:
Use this mod however you like as long as it isn't a direct reupload somewhere and credit is given.
DO NOT upload this mod to the Steam Workshop.
Bugs:
Not Necessarily a "bug," but the plasmatorch will have a 20-20 x1 crit multipler. From my testing, this doesn't effect much.

Improved Force Sight
New Force Sight mechanics, including stat bonuses and a higher-tier Force Sight power. Turn on Force Sight permanently when controlling Visas. Give Kreia Force Sight.
SUMMARY:
In the game Visas can teach you Force Sight which allows you to see the alignment of characters around you, occasionally through some obstacles. It's a cool RP thing but not really something you use often.
This mod aims to improve Force Sight by giving the power new bonuses and mechanics, including the addition of a higher-tier Improved Force Sight power which can boost your defense, making it useful in combat.
In addition to the usual effects, Force Sight now grants a bonus to Awareness. While in vanilla this is only useful for detecting mines (through the Force?) and maybe skill checks if you time it right, this mod is intended to synergize with my other mod True Sith Assassins & Awareness Restoration which makes the Awareness skill necessary for detecting Sith Assassins and avoiding sneak attacks. When using that mod, the Awareness bonus becomes very useful in areas with Sith Assassins, especially on the final planet.
After learning Force Sight from Visas, you can upgrade the power to Improved Force Sight, which gives a higher Awareness bonus and also lets you apply a portion of your base Awareness skill rank to your Defense.
My thought is that an advanced Jedi could take advantage of this power in battle, using Force Sight to better perceive their enemies' movements. The degree to which they can do this is tied to their innate perception skills. Think of it like an alternative kind of Battle Precognition that you can get from Visas if you don’t have Handmaiden in your party, or fall out of her graces. Visas will come with the Improved Force Sight power.
This mod also includes an option to make it so that Force Sight is permanently on while controlling Visas. In vanilla, it's only on in first-person view. She won’t permanently have the Defense bonus but can spend FP on the power to gain it temporarily.
This mod also includes an option to give Kreia the Force Sight power. This allows her to also learn Improved Force Sight.
All options including the main mod are independent of each other, so you’re free to pick and choose whichever parts of the mod you want to install.
In order for changes to Visas or Kreia to take place, the mod must be installed before they first join your party.
DETAILS:
In addition to the normal effects, Force Sight now grants a +4 bonus to Awareness. The power still costs 15 FPs.
Improved Force Sight grants a +8 bonus to Awareness and +1 Defense for every 3 points in your base Awareness skll rank (not including bonuses from items, attributes, or effects, including from this power). This power costs 20 FPs.
This means with 18 points invested in Awareness you gain a +6 Defense bonus, equivalent to Force Armor. By the end-game it's feasible to have 30 points spent in Awareness, translating to a +10 Defense bonus. Bonuses from armor and effects are limited to +10 so that might be more than anyone would need, but if you want to run the high-Awareness naked Jedi Seer build then this mod is a must-have.
The duration of both powers are extended by 1 second for every 2 points in your base Awareness rank.
Due to how the mod works, Force Sight will now be visible when leveling up from the start of the game, but you won’t be able to select it and still must learn it from Visas. Improved Force Sight will be selectable after you learn Force Sight as long as you’re level 12 or higher.
INSTALLATION:
To install, run HoloPatcher.exe. Select and install any of the included options. They are all independent.
Improved Force Sight - adds Improved Force Sight power
Perma Force Sight for Visas - turns Force Sight on permanently while controlling Visas
Kreia Has Force Sight - gives Kreia the Force Sight power
Unaltered copies of any modified files will be placed inside a "backup" folder in the location of HoloPatcher.exe. A separate backup folder will be made for each installation.
UNINSTALLATION:
This mod contains multiple installation options with separate backup folders. Uninstall in reverse order.
To uninstall, remove the following files from override:
If present, move dialog.tlk from the backup folder to the main game folder (outside override).
Move any files from backup/Override to the override folder.
Alternatively, you can run the uninstall script via HoloPatcher (Tools > Uninstall Mod).
COMPATIBILITY:
Compatible with Visas Marr: Sith Assassin. May conflict with other mods that edit Visas.
Compatible with and intended to compliment True Sith Assassins & Awareness Restoration.
Compatible with Thematic KOTOR 2 Companions.
Should be compatible with anything else as long as it uses a patcher and doesn't edit the Force Sight script. When in doubt, install this mod last.
PERMISSIONS:
Please don’t reupload without my permission.

True Sith Assassins & Awareness Restoration
Adds sneak attacks and PC Awareness checks to Sith Assassins and Hssiss.
SUMMARY:
From the in-game description of the Awareness skill:
“Awareness governs the ability of a character to spot objects or enemies hidden by Stealth…”
If you're like me, with all the Sith Assassins in the game you might have assumed your Awareness played some role in detecting them.
Well, I'm here to tell you that Sith Assassins never actually use Stealth, and you've probably never rolled an Awareness check against an enemy in either games. It's all a lie, and you're entitled to compensation.
In reality, NPC stealth is an illusion scripted by the game, and your stats play no role in detecting hidden NPCs. Sith Assassins don't have any points in Stealth, and on top of that, they can't even perform sneak attacks. Some assassins!
This mod does the following things:
- Restores PC Awareness vs Stealth checks on Sith Assassins (and Hssiss)
- Gives all Sith Assassins the ability to perform sneak attacks
- Adds stealth behavior to the Sith Assassins on Malachor (in vanilla they just wait around uncloaked)
This will not only make Awareness a more useful skill but also turn Sith Assassins into more deadly enemies. You will not see them at all until you make a successful Awareness check or until after they've already hit you with a sneak attack. Remember that sneak attacks can happen outside of stealth too, so don't let them flank you!
This mod also applies to the Hssiss creatures on Korriban which are the other enemies that “use stealth” in the game.
Note this mod may make some parts of the game significantly more challenging, but hopefully also more dynamic and interesting. For balance, all stats and feats are granted based on PC level. A reduced difficulty option is included and recommended if you’re not experienced with the game’s combat.
DETAILS:
This mod is accomplished through custom scripts which take advantage of the unused Invisibility effect and emulate the hardcoded PC Stealth vs NPC Awareness checks. NPC Stealth was never fully implemented so it is pretty broken and just putting the NPCs in actual Stealth Mode gives erratic and unwanted results.
While in line of sight of a stealthed enemy, each of your party members will periodically make an Awareness check against the NPC's Stealth. This is made to be as close as possible to the game’s calculation, accounting for distance, field of view, and whether you're running or in combat. However, the checks occur more frequently than with NPC Awareness (every 6s vs every 20s). If a check succeeds, the enemy will become visible/targetable and will not get to perform a sneak attack (unless they're behind you or you’re stunned).
All Sith Assassins in the game are given points into the Stealth skill and a Sneak Attack feat. For balance these are granted on spawn according to the scaled level of the NPC and the Sith Assassin class progression. Sith Assassins are given a Stealth skill equal to their level (with a minimum of 5). In the reduced difficulty option, the Stealth skill is reduced by one third and the Sneak Attack progression is slowed to every 3 levels and capped at rank VII (equivalent to Jedi Watchman progression).
INSTALLATION:
Please read compatibility notes before installing.
To install, open HoloPatcher.exe and run “Main Installation”, choosing either the “Default” or “Reduced Difficulty” option.
(Optional) After installing, if you have Peragus Sith Troops to Sith Assassins by Hassat Hunter or Sith Assassins with Lightsabers by Lewok2007 installed, run the included compatibility patch.
Unaltered copies of any edited files will be placed in the "backup" folder in the location of HoloPatcher.exe.
UNINSTALLATION:
1. Remove the following files from override:
2. Remove 151HAR.mod, 152HAR.mod, 903MAL.mod, 905MAL.mod, and 906MAL.mod from the Modules folder.
3. Move any .mod files from backup/Modules to the Modules folder.
4. Move any files inside backup/Override to the Override folder.
Alternatively, you can run the uninstall script via HoloPatcher (Tools > Uninstall Mod).
COMPATIBILITY & OTHER NOTES:
Compatible with Peragus Sith Troops to Sith Assassins by Hassat Hunter. An optional compatibility patch is included to make the Sith Assassins added by that mod use stealth. Some of the Assassins in the turret minigame will spawn with Stealth vfx.
Compatible with Sith Assassins -- With Lightsabers by Shem or alternatively Sith Assassins with Lightsabers by Lewok2007. If using the version by Lewok2007, my mod must be installed last. You should also install the “Peragus Sith Troops to Sith Assassins” compatibility patch since that version combines the previous two mods.
Be aware that this mod increases the damage output of Sith Assassins by giving them sneak attacks. Giving them lightsabers will increase the difficulty further. If you’re not experienced with the game’s combat, consider the reduced difficulty option when using these mods together.
Should be fully compatible with mods that edit the default creature scripts, like Improved AI by Stoffe.
Partially compatible with Trayus Rank Reform, but my mod must be installed last and will overwrite most of the female Sith Assassins added by that mod.
The Sith Assassins on Dxun retain vanilla stealth behavior to avoid breaking cutscenes but are still granted Sneak Attack.

Unarmed Atton
By BillyYank
INSTALLATION
Have TSLRCM 1.8.6 installed Unzip folder, copy-paste files into \Knights of the Old Republic II\Override\ and overwrite when asked COMPATIBILITY
Any mod that does not edit atton.dlg or 262atton.dlg Description
In the base game, you can ask Atton where he got Echani training. This mod makes it so that whenever you get him to respond positively - "I was just asking - no harm meant." or "I'm not accusing you, I just want to know..." - he will gain Unarmed Specialist 1 and Complex Unarmed Animations (the latter of which is a hidden feat).
Additionally, if he tells you how he killed Jedi with a 70+ influence check, he will gain levels in Unarmed Specialist at the same rate as Jedi, Bao-Dur, and the Handmaiden. He will also be "caught up", meaning that he will not lag behind other party members with his hand-to-hand skills, since he's revealing his skills.
Limitations/roadmap
There isn't a notification for him learning Unarmed Specialist - This is next on the roadmap. The script I use to make Atton gain Unarmed Specialist as he levels is dirty; It's not bugged or problematic outright, but it is certainly a jury-rig. Once I've got this project in a more complete state, I'll make it into a TSLPatcher install with improved compatibility.55 downloads

Red floating lightsabers
This mod changes Kreia's floating lightsabers from violet to red and makes them immune to fear, paralysis, and stun. Since they're, you know, lightsabers instead of people, I figure they shouldn't be susceptible to those effects.
To install, drag the .utc files from the attached .zip and place them into your override. Remove to uninstall. Ezpz.
Thanks to Fred Tetra for creating the Kotor Tool, which was used to add the immunity feats.

Thematic Jedi Masters
By Snigaroo
Thematic Jedi Masters
Premise
A little while after I released Thematic Sith Lords, this mod’s companion, I was approached by the user Starwarsnerd with a request for the same treatment for the Jedi Masters. I told him I would consider it but I believed the Masters were well-balanced and, at the time, didn’t think it necessary.
When I started working on the 2.0 release of Thematic Sith Lords I decided to check on the Masters just to confirm everything was well, and I was instead floored by what I saw. All the Masters were the same class; their attributes were wildly out of proportion to their natures; their feats and powers seemed ill-thought-out—hell, in Zez-Kai Ell’s fight he doesn’t even have Force points at all! I expected a garden and found a desert, and so here we are.
Just like its elder sibling Thematic Sith Lords, Thematic Jedi Masters is not a conventional difficulty mod. The objective isn’t to make each fight difficult, but unique; to, as best as I’m able, reflect each Master’s personality, philosophy and capability in the stats they’re given. Because of this, unlike Thematic Sith Lords this mod does not have any elements of a “rock-paper-scissors” fight design; unlike the Sith, none of the Jedi Masters are so abhorrently one-dimensional that they could be only capable of one thing and vulnerable to all others, such as Sion is. Rather, this mod takes the approach that each Master’s obvious specialty should be highlighted, and their other abilities treated as realistically as possible given their age, temperament, class and so on. This is where Thematic Jedi Masters focuses: differentiation.
Unlike the basegame fights against the Sith Lords, which can at least be said to have enemies designed around certain archetypes, all the Jedi Masters (except Atris) are set up as Guardians with very little differentiation. Thematic Jedi Masters starts by making Zez-Kai Ell a Sentinel and Vrook a Consular—both, I think, with justification—to ensure the Masters themselves represent the Jedi well. From there their stats are designed both around these new classes and their behaviors as Jedi: whether they take risks like Kavar or are furtive like Zez-Kai Ell. In the end, what results are Masters that all feel very different, and much more true to who they are as people.
For those who’d like to see exactly what was done and an explanation of the rationale for why, a full list of changes made is available in the download.
Why Use Thematic Jedi Masters?
As noted, Thematic Jedi Masters isn’t a difficulty mod, as most mods that touch on the Masters would be. The goal is to make each Master a realistic reflection of their natures; to make them fight how they would actually fight. If you want pure difficulty, other mods might be for you. If you want to experience differentiated fights that are harder on average than what TSLRCM has to offer, however, Thematic Jedi Masters is likely for you.
Thematic Jedi Masters also has several features which other difficulty mods often lack: it consistently adjusts both the Master’s first encounter on their planet of choice (including Vrook’s initial fight in the Dantooine crystal cave) and their appearance in the Restored Enclave; it includes changes to Atris; and it uses the TSLPatcher to inject .utc edit data directly into module files for maximum compatibility.
Difficulty, Balance & Testing Methodology
Users who have tried other mods which make serious alterations to boss enemies may justifiably be concerned about difficulty and balance. I’d like to disclose how these fights were tested to hopefully put some of those concerns to rest.
This mod was tested with two DS characters, one Sentinel/Marauder and one Sentinel/Lord (although only DS characters were used in the test, none of the fights were won with unique powers or abilities which would make them viable on DS but not on LS builds). Both test characters were built well but not min-maxed, and for each battle the use of items (consumables or shield charges) was forbidden: I had to be able to beat each opponent with only melee and Force abilities. Some of the fights were still very difficult, but each could be won without needing to resort to cheesy tactics. For any player with an average or above grasp of D20 mechanics, I believe you can use this mod without concern. Beginners to d20 systems may need to turn the difficulty down for these encounters in some cases, but should still be able to beat them even with sub-par builds with a bit of clever positioning and pre-buffing.
Compatibility
This mod should be compatible with anything and everything else that doesn’t edit the Masters’ .utc files. Even mods that do so shouldn’t break this, they might just edit some of the same data. The only exception is if another mod drops a relevant .utc file directly to the override, which will fully overwrite Thematic Jedi Masters’s module-based edits.
Installation
1. Download the file and unzip it to any folder of your choice (except for the game directory) using a program like 7zip or Winrar.
2. Run the TSLPatcher.exe, click “install mod” and, when prompted, choose your install folder and confirm. Done!
Permissions & Thanks
As with any mod I have made or will make in the future, this mod has completely open permissions: modify it, redistribute it, reupload it, do whatever. So long as you give myself credit for the idea and the balance settings (if you choose to retain most of these edits) & JCarter426 credit for the mod’s development, go for it. You don’t even need to ask me.
Premier thanks goes as usual to @JCarter426, who built this entire mod at my request, and tirelessly put up with literally dozens of revisions of the mod as we fine-tuned the balancing. This mod is much more his than my own and I am tremendously grateful for his help.
Thanks also to @doctoramanda from the KOTOR Discord for her help making the "preview" image.

Sith Assassins With Lightsabers
By Lewok2007
Description:
2 mods were released a long time ago, doing some part of what this mod does. These 2 mods being Shem's Sith Assassin's with Lightsabers and Hassat Hunter's Sith troops to Sith Assassins. Although these 2 mods are fine, there were a few issues/complications. Both of these mods are listed to install on the TSL Community Mod Build, but having both installed leads to some consistency issues. The changed assassins on the Ebon Hawk won't have lightsabers like Shem's mod does to them on the Harbinger. Additionally, Shem's mod had some of the Lightsabers drop premature to the player getting their own lightsaber, allowing you to get multiple of them for you and your party. While that's not despicable, it is a bit annoying for players who want to have a consistent and story accurate playthrough. This mod combine's the features of the 2 mentioned mods, while making it consistent.
Installation:
This mod is split up into 2 mandatory install parts and 1 optional install. First, extract the .zip download. Run the Holopatcher.exe and select the first part install option, installing to your TSL directory. Once that is completed (rename "Backup" to "backup1", in case you want to uninstall the mod.) Go to the drop down menu where the first part install option is and select the second part, and run the Holopatcher again. Once that one is completed, you have the mod installed. Optionally, if you want the Assassins to be debuffed for the Ebon Hawk Raid. (rename the current "backup" folder to "backup2" in case you want to uninstall alter.) select the Optional third install in the drop down menu and install that. Boom, now you're done.
Note: You can install the first part alone and the mod will be fine, but the second part installs for the turret sequence on peragus. If you'd like the immersion and consistency, install both parts.
Uninstall:
Open up "backup1" and copy the .mod file to the modules folder, overwriting it when prompted. Delete all the .utc filed in the game's override folder that match the .utc files in the backup2 folder.
Open up "backup2" and copy the .mod file into there to the modules folder, overwriting when prompted.
Open "backup" if you installed the optional third install, and copy the .mod to the modules folder, overwriting.
Compatibility:
Don't worry if you have Shem's and Hassat's mods installed first, this mod will overwrite what they do.
Credits:
Holocron Toolset - Cortisol

Snigaroo for testing help.
Shem and Hassat for making the original mods, that this mod replicates.
Permissions:
You can use parts of the mods in your own, as long as there is proper credit. Don't re-upload this mod anywhere without any changes done, if I want somewhere, I'll put it there. DO NOT reupload to the steam workshop.
Bugs:
None known at the time. Report if any are encountered.
