About This File
This mod adds a fully selectable male player head inspired by Keanu Reeves to Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.
FEATURES
• Custom high-detail head model with corrected in-game UVs and opaque 2048x2048 textures.
• Neutral, light-side, and progressive dark-side head textures that change with alignment.
• Matching alignment-aware cinematic portraits for character creation, the party interface, and the HUD.
• KOTOR I-native facial animation support: blinking, eye movement, lip sync/phonemes, and expressions.
• Rebuilt mouth articulation that opens through the natural upper/lower lip gap.
• Repositioned teeth and a closed, dark mouth cavity that prevent visible gaps.
• Corrected neck and jaw shading across the welded source-model boundary.
• Long hair configured for KOTOR I's native danglymesh simulation.
• Merge-safe TSLPatcher installation for heads.2da, appearance.2da, and portraits.2da.
• No executable patch is required.
INSTALLATION
1. Extract the archive outside your game folder.
2. Close KOTOR I.
3. Run TSLPatcher.exe and select the folder containing swkotor.exe if asked.
4. Start a new game and select the new portrait during male character creation.
Install after major restoration or community-patch packages. Do not copy the tslpatchdata folder directly into Override. See the included README for complete compatibility and uninstall information.
COMPATIBILITY
This release is for KOTOR I only. It uses TSLPatcher and unique resource names, and is designed to coexist with K1R and other merge-safe mods. Install this mod after K1R or other large content packages.
