NPC Diversity Pack [Beta/K1] 0.10.0

That looks like a workable build to me, though maybe install Loot Overhaul before Heart of Beskar. There shouldn't be any problems between the two but if you install Loot Overhaul before then there won't be any chance of Loot Overhaul overwriting any of HOB's loot (very very unlikely, but it's a precaution I would take).

Found a strange bug. One of the Black Vulkars that's meeting with Davik's Agent in the Lower City of Taris now appears as a human wearing a combat suit. He also has the same face as Davik's Agent. 

This bug has been fixed!

For everyone else, I've also fixed the Marl soundset bug. I've always avoided the bug because I was correct: Marl is set to the male Jedi Council soundset and he always was, however, the fixes done to the soundsets in RC-K1CP gave the male Jedi Council soundsets all the female sounds instead of the male sounds.

RC-K1CP has been updated to correct that bug.

Thank you very much! I will re-install KOTOR once you finish your Czerka Mod. 

Most of the randomization has been really good but I'm not sure why you made Sharina Fizark outside the hunting lodge have the same Asian head as little miss protocol officer!

Contrary to popular belief, the Czerka Protocol Officer head is not her unique head. That head is labelled as "Tatooine Asian Female", a commoner head variant that was intended for Tatooine but are occasionally used outside of Tatooine.

Tatooine White Male (Used by Kono Nolan)

Tatooine White Female (Used by Marlena Venn)

Tatooine Asian Male (Used by Tanis Venn)

And of course, Sharina Fizark isn't the only NPC in the game who uses the Protocol Officer's Tatooine Asian Female head

Are they meant to be sisters, then? I mean, they're one loading screen apart! Kind of contradicts your aim to reduce the cloning effect, no? 

(Gurney and Igear not being the same young black man model was certainly needed though!)

The NPC Diversity Pack is intended to be a "base" mod, you install this mod first and you'd install other NPC mods on top of it to further enhance the reduction of the cloning effect.

I have a mod called the Unused Head Restoration Pack which is planned to be updated soon, you can install that mod to give the Protocol Officer and Tanis unique heads.

Have you seen Galaxy of Faces? Sharina Fizark will have her own unique head in that mod at some point.

Ah, yes, your version of the NPC Overhaul. I did try Kainzorus Prime's 2014 version all the way back in 2016 but had multiple missing heads from the new characters that were inserted!

Unfortunately I am playing as PFHC02 currently and didn't want to see a pallet swap for the Bek doorwoman. I suppose if PFHC01 is not used in GoF for an NPC I would definitely give these two a spin along with your patch for restoration elements that mesh with K1CP. 

Would this mod be compatible with Ashton Scorpius' K1 Ported Alien VO Replacements?

90% of it should work, though the problem is that one or two NPCs might have the wrong VO.

If you're willing to ignore that, then yes there is no harm in using the Alien VO mod.

I've also reached out to Ashton Scorpius to make a compatibility patch for the NPC Diversity Pack series of mods as well since they've done so for other mods. 

Is this mod compatible with Canderous Mandalorian Items?

Install that mod after the NPC Diversity Pack and you should be good!

Whilst my opinions have not changed in regards to the Czerka Protocol Officer's head being generic, I did go ahead and change Sharina Fizark's head so that she uses another generic head.

With the new direction I'm taking the mod in, there's a high chance I'll be covering Sharina again in one of the future optional installs (Right now I've added Player Head Commoners).

Been using this mod for a while and I'm a huge fan of it! I do have a small concern though in which certain enemies are replaced to where they have different weaponry altogether, which when combined with mods that tweak AI and weapon scaling can lead to some incredibly difficult fights unintentionally. I can't think of any other mods I have that would replace the weapons or types of enemies these are (an example including Davik's guards now being gamorreans), so would you ever possibly consider an optional installation to only change appearance and not weapons enemies have?
