About This File

This mod intends to address key issues with male Twi'lek heads in KOTOR I.

The main improvements are the addition of ears and slimming down on the Bib Fortuna necks. Other tweaks include better smoothing groups, fixed teeth and eyelids, and recolored tongues. The ears were created using modified assets ported from SWTOR.

There's two options for installation. Option A uses the slim necks, while Option B retains the original necks. I highly recommend the first option as it fixes clipping with collars on heavy armor and it's the main choice for other mods which use my files.

Given the frequency of Twi'lek NPCs, this mod's a nice visual improvement that adds a much-needed element of consistency with other humanoid head models in the game.

The KOTOR II can be found here.

Installation & Uninstallation

To install this mod, run Installer.exe, select the option you want, and proceed with the installation.

To uninstall this mod, run the installer again, select the same option, and click Tools -> Uninstall Mod / Restore Backup.

Compatibility & Known Issues

This mod isn't compatible with any retextures of male Twi'lek heads unless that mod states otherwise.

This mod has built-in compatibility with the K1 Community Patch and is also compatible with the K1 NPC Overhaul Mod. Either should be installed prior to installing this mod.

I've given permission for this mod to be included in a few other projects. Be sure to check the descriptions of those mods to see if you need to install this first.

An awesome update! The ears looks perfect to me; the render looks smooth from close range even on distance. In overall - everything looks better than it used to.

Edit: appreciate the v1.3.0 to v1.3.1 update. :cheers:

Permanent spot in the mod list has been filled.

Response from the author:

Thanks for pointing the issues out, I read the discussion in Discord as well and I'll fix them ASAP. I'm glad though that someone enjoys the new look as much as I do :thumbup:
