1. DESCRIPTION:

This mod gives the KotOR 1 NPC Belaya a unique look, with two variants for her different appearances in the game as a Jedi and as a Sith.

You meet Belaya when you visit Dantooine and are on your way to meet the Jedi Council. She is close to Juhani. If you choose to kill Juhani during your trials on Dantooine, Belaya will leave the Jedi Order, fall to the Dark Side and confront you again as a Sith at the entrance of the Korriban Sith Academy, where you will be forced to kill her.

This unique Belaya look was created by SpaceAlex as part of the K1 Enhancement Pack, which has been released as a modder's resource. While this is not the first mod that replaces Belaya's generic NPC look, the mods I found previously made the change by reusing a female player character head, which could be awkward for players who happen to choose the same head for their character. Therefore, I decided to make SpaceAlex's redesign of Belaya into a standalone mod.

I also provide an alternate version to Sith Belaya's head texture in which she does not have the yellow Sith eyes.

NOTE: In order for this mod to take effect, you must load a save before visiting Dantooine for the first time, and a save before visiting the entrance area of the Korriban Sith Academy for the first time.

2. INSTALLATION:

Extract the Belaya's Unique Look.7z you downloaded to anywhere you like, as long as it is not within the KotOR directory. Run Install.exe, point the installer to your KotOR directory, where swkotor.exe is located, and let the installer do its job.

If you do not want Sith Belaya to have the yellow Sith eyes, after running Install.exe, go to the "Optional - No Sith Eyes" folder, then drop the N_BelHd.tpc file into the Override folder of your KotOR game directory and overwrite the file when prompted.

I also provide upscaled versions of the textures as an optional installation. After installing the main part of this mod, go to the "Optional - Upscaled Textures" folder, drop the files into the Override folder in your directory and overwrite files when prompted. If you do not want Sith Belaya to have Sith eyes, overwrite the N_BelHd.tpc file in the Override folder with the one in the "No Sith Eyes" subfolder.

NOTE: When you install this mod, two new folders named "backup" and “uninstall” will be created by the installer in the same folder as the installer. Do not delete the folders or any of the files within the folder if you are planning on uninstalling this mod.

3. UNINSTALLATION:

Run Install.exe. From the “Tools” dropdown menu, select “Uninstall Mod / Restore Backup”, then confirm to uninstall the mod. You can also choose to delete the backup after uninstalling the mod.

4. KNOWN ISSUES:

None currently known. If you find any bugs or problems, please let me know.
