About This File
Provides complete instructions on modding KOTOR in 2025. Restores cut content, that the community patch does NOT restore, updates the resolution and UI, updates textures, fixes bugs and finally finishes the game.
What's New in Version 1.1.0 See changelog
Released
I updated some formatting and created an automated version that takes as much of the leg work out of the process as possible.
1.01 - I corrected a folder name in the create directories script, from 18 to 16.
1.1.0 - I replaced EZ Swoop Racing with Swoop Bike Upgrades, which is an immersive solution to making pod ra... I mean swoop racing easier. Personally I never used either one, except to test and validate. But some people seem to really struggle so it's included in the guide. You can always just not buy the upgrade parts.
KOTOR 2025 Mod Guide! Get the full experience in one of the greatest games ever made!
Included in the mod is two different versions of the guide, one you do everything manually and the other is mostly automated. If one doesn't work, try the other. This build has been tested on many different systems and the majority of it has been tested regularly for about 10 years. I am aware that the community patch is new and people are interested in it but it doesn't restore a lot of things the Restored Content mod does bring back and the two are simply incompatible. Follow along step by step or let the scripts do the work, enjoy Knights of the Old Republic!
