Vanilla Planets HD 2.1

Vanilla Planets HD is a texture upscale mod for kotor 2 the sith lords.

Now includes files for M4-78 Droid Planet and Cathalan Improvement Project.

Check Version 2.0 changelog for details on other planets.

This mod upscales all planet and area textures using Topaz Gigapixel at 4x resolution. The goal is to keep the game as close to the original vanilla look as possible, but with cleaner, sharper, higher-resolution textures.

I made this because while I really like ShiningRed’s planet texture mods, some surfaces looked a little too reflective and glossy for my taste. I wanted HD textures that keep the original look.

Install tslcrm and k2cp file after the others, it requires tslrcm and kotor 2 community patch.

You can also place the TGA files directly into your existing Override folder.

Updating From an Older Version

If you are updating from an older version, delete PLC_FrcDist01.tga from your Override folder.

This file was removed because it could cause a crash when starting a new game and loading into Peragus.

Replace files if prompted.

Requirements
This mod does not cover skyboxes, backdrops, or cockpit window views. I intentionally left those untouched because there are already three amazing mods that cover them really well. Those mods will be linked in the Requirements and Recommended Mods sections.

Recommended Mods
For the best overall visual setup, I recommend using this mod alongside
High Quality Skyboxes II
TSL Backdrop Improvements  
TSL HD Cockpit Skyboxes
Ebon Hawk HD - 4X or HD Ebon Hawk by J  (for ebon hawk exterior)
Remove Duplicate TGA-TPC  (to remove duplicate tpc files)
