A Mod for Star Wars Knights of The Old Republic II
Author: N-DReW25
1.0.0 Release Date: 18.05.2025
Installation:
Please install The Sith Lords Restored Content Mod 1.8.6 FIRST, no exceptions.
It is highly advised to install the KOTOR 2 Community Patch before this mod, this is optional.
This mod is divided into two parts, the HoloPatcher component and the Override Component.
To install Override Component features, simply open their folders and copy their mod files to the Kotor 2 Override folder.
To install HoloPatcher Component features, simply click on the HoloPatcher.exe, pick your desired restoration, click install, and sit back and watch the installer do its magic.
WARNING: It is highly recommended that you do not install the game on your system's C drive, especially in Program Files. Windows can have permissions issues when trying to install the mod to a C drive destination. If you are using the Steam version of the game and have installed Steam in its default Program Files location, we advise creating a new Steam Library on a different drive and moving the game there via the game's Properties pop-up in Steam.
Do note that this mod is highly decentralized, whilst this gives you the ability to pick and choose what you'd like it also means you'll have to install each feature individually if you want them all.
Description:
The Sith Lords Restored Content Mod (TSLRCM) is the mod that saved Kotor II after its disastrous December 2004 release that saw the game practically unfinished and riddled with annoying bugs. This mod is THE number one go-to mod for Kotor II, it's so popular that Aspyr "tried" to bring the mod to Nintendo Switch via a DLC and when that DLC was cancelled there was an uproar amongst Star Wars fans for having done this.
Despite the claim that TSLRCM fixed the bugs and restored the cut content, that factually isn't true. There are many bugs that TSLRCM missed and there is cut content still being found in the game files to this very day, though just because these bugs and cut content exist doesn't mean they could/should be fixed/restored.
Things like M4-78 and the GenoHaradan go beyond the scope of TSLRCM's goals and as such were restored as standalone mods rather than being part of TSLRCM, cut content like Lt. Yima's quest has hardly anything left to restore except for a typo riddled dialogue for Yima and journal entries, and bugs like the Mandalorians on the Ravager having Dark Jedi soundsets are so obscure and easily missable that it hardly justifies a TSLRCM update.
As is stands, TSLRCM 1.8.6 is seen by many as being 'completed' - that it succeeded in doing what it set out to do.
Enter stage the Kotor II Restored Content Plus mod, I mod I've thrown together to restore even MORE cut content to Kotor II (more bug fixes can be found in N-DReW's Bug Fix Collection for TSL).
What's Restored in K2RC+:
OM=Override Mods
UAP=Unique Appearance Restorations
SR=Smuggler Restoration
R01R=Rodian 01 Restoration
FCR=Fat Commoner Restoration
DR=Dialogue Restorations
SDR=Street Dancer Restoration
General:
* HK-47's TSLRCM dialogue has been improved with bug fixes, dialogue corrections, and restored lines. The changelog of my changes can be found in "HK-47 Changes.txt" (OM)
Peragus:
Harbinger:
* Restored the Harbinger Captain's Unique Appearance (UAP)
Telos:
* Restored a Twi'lek Street Dancer and his Bith Companion in the Citadel Dock Module (SDR)
* The Rodian Bounty Hunter encountered during the Czerka plotline now uses the cut Rodian 01 variant appearance (R01R)
* The human Exchange Thug in the Exchange Compound now uses a Smuggler's Appearance rather than a Generic Appearance (SR)
* veteran.dlg- Restored an alternative line here.
Original: Explain something to me.
Altnerative: I don't understand something. Maybe you can explain it to me. (DR)
* 201drdi.dlg- The Ithorian droid used to start his post-fight dialogue with "I will trust your judgment, master. Lead the way". This line is the wrong line, this line is also used in the Czerka player responses. The correct line is "Thank you for saving me, master. Will you be escorting me to the Ithorian compound?" (DR)
* 201drdi.dlg- The Ithorian droid will now start his post-fight dialogue with "Greetings. I am the Ithorian restoration project management droid." (DR)
* 231bdur- If you are alone with Bao-Dur, after he says "I always feel a sense of calm when I walk the surface of Telos. The Ithorians are truly amazing in their work" he will then say "Quiet! There's a large mercenary patrol up ahead". The "Quiet" line has been replaced with the more fitting "Look! There's a large mercenary patrol in the valley up ahead." (DR)
* 231bdur- If Atton is in the party or if you reply "A whisper, perhaps. Like the breeze through the grass" to Kreia, Bao-Dur will say "Quiet! There's a large mercenary patrol up ahead" though if you reply "No, I feel nothing but emptiness" to Kreia he will instead say "Look! There's a large mercenary patrol in the valley up ahead". The "Look" line has been replaced with the "Quiet" line to be consistent with the other party lines whilst the "Look" line only appears if you are alone with Bao-Dur. (DR)
* 231bdur- If Atton is in the party instead of Kreia, he will be the one to give the "If we move carefully" lines instead of Bao-Dur. (DR)
* plateau- The way TSLRCM restored the HK-50 congratulates the shooter content is by editing this dialogue, but TSLRCM edited it in such a way that it results in their lines being repeated several times in the dialogue feedback box. This bug has been fixed.
* hk501- TSLRCM restored a cut line for this scene by replacing a vanilla line with the cut line. This vanilla line that TSLRCM cut has been brought back alongside the restored line, the vanilla line was "Irritated Declaration: There you are. It has been extremely difficult to track you down, Jedi.". (DR)
* hk501- Restored the following lines to this scene, increasing the amount of lines from three in TSLRCM to six in this mod. The lines are "Announcement: You have caused us to expenditure a great deal of effort to find you, Jedi.", "Clarification: But now that we have found you, we hope that we can facilitate communications.", "And put an... end to hostilities.", and "Threat: Come with us without resistance, Jedi... or you will come with us in pain." (DR)
Nar Shaddaa:
* Rutum now uses the male Fat Commoner Appearance rather than a Generic Appearance (FCR)
* Ratrin Vek now uses a Smuggler's Appearance rather than a Player Head (SR)
* Lootra now uses a Smuggler's Appearance rather than a Generic Appearance (SR)
* Odis now uses a Smuggler's Appearance rather than a Generic Appearance (SR)
* A Rodian Thug in the Jekk'Jekk Tarr now uses the cut Rodian 01 variant appearance (R01R)
Dxun:
* ritlead.dlg- Instead of the Sith Master saying "A shame... instead of freedom and power, you have chosen death. So be it." when you finish the Tomb of Freedan Nadd, he will now have a unique line depending on each ending. The Tomb Light Side ending will have him say "A shame..." whilst the Dark Side ending will have him say "Fool! Kill him, my brothers." or "Fool! Kill them, by brothers." depending on their gender (DR)
Onderon:
* Terlyn now uses the female Fat Commoner Appearance rather than an Onderon Commoner Appearance (FCR)
* Vix now uses the cut Rodian 01 variant appearance (R01R)
d_thug.dlg- Restored the line "I've said what I'm going to say. I've got things to do right now." to the thug outside Dhagon's place (DR)
Dantooine:
* Restored Ralon's Unique Appearance (UAP)
Korriban:
* malak.dlg- If you are Dark Side, Malak will no longer say "And now you are all alone. Would you join me now? You didn't follow Revan and I down our path. Join us. Your journey hasn't ended yet.", he will now say "There is much ambition and pride in you. I sense given the chance you may have followed me on the entire journey. Will you join me now?"
* malak.dlg- Restored an extra Malak line that goes "So will you join us? Join us all?" (DR)
Ravager:
Malachor:
Known Bugs:
This mod shouldn't have any bugs but if there are please report them to me on Deadlystream.
