1. DESCRIPTION:
This mod overhauls the female Twi'lek NPCs in KotOR 2 and adds 26 new playable female Twi'lek heads.
NPC Overhaul:
- Upscaled and updated dancer outfits.
- Body skin tones all match head skin tones.
- Added specular highlights to body textures.
- Added specular highlights with a bump map to the heads, giving female lekku the same light-reactive shine male Twi'leks have. Eyes and lips also get a subtle shine.
- NPCs now use different lekku positioning per head, so they no longer all look like pure reskins.
- The mercenary droidmaster on Telos Surface and Borna Lys on Nar Shaddaa now each have a unique head texture pulled from the new playable set, plus a backup head, so their default appearance doesn't clone the player.
- Includes a patch for Leilukin's "Dahnis Unique Look" mod, giving their textures an HD look.
Playable Heads:
- 26 playable female Twi'lek models, including every female Twi'lek NPC.
- A number of completely new heads.
- Dark side transitions.
- Every playable head comes with a Handmaiden-style underwear model, a dancer outfit model, and an assassin-style clothing model, all with matching skin tones.

2. INSTALLATION:
Run Install.exe and select your KotOR 2 game directory.
There are 4 installation options.
- Default Installation: Includes playable Twi'lek models and replacements for NPC Twi'leks. You probably want this one.
- Playable Twi'leks ONLY: Includes only models for the player character, NPC Twi'leks will remain unchanged
- NPC replacement ONLY: Replaces models for NPC Twi'leks, does not add any playable characters
- Dahnis Patch: Updates the look for Dahnis based on Leilukin's Dahnis Unique Look mod. Install that mod first!
If you use the default installation, you DO NOT need to install NPC replacement ONLY or Playable Twi'leks ONLY.
The Dahnis patch NEEDS to be installed separately - it is NOT included in any other option.
You should be safe to reinstall this mod on top of itself without any problems.
A "backup" folder is created by the installer in the same directory. Don't delete it if you plan to uninstall later.
---
3. UNINSTALLATION:
Run Install.exe, select your KotOR 2 directory, and use the "Tools > uninstall/restore backup" option to revert all changes made by this mod.
---
4. KNOWN ISSUES:
If you decide to install only PCs and then later decide to add the NPCs, you should use the default installation option the second time. Installing PCs ONLY and then NPCs ONLY will prevent the backup head from working properly. If you do this, just run the default installation and it should work.
If you have already visited Nar Shaddaa, Borna will not have her updated appearance. You should use a save from before arriving.
If you find any bugs or problems, please report them.

5. MOD COMPATIBILITY:
All files should have unique names. Installing this
This mod only touches female Twi'lek head/body models, textures, and appearance-related files - no dialogue, scripting, or module changes. Should be compatible with all other mods, including TSLRCM.
If you have any other mods that have changed the female Twi'lek appearances, this mod will obviously stop the old appearances from showing. All files should have unique names, so this should not overwrite other mods, and it would just take Appearance.2da changes (or an uninstallation) to revert.
If you use Leilukin's "Dahnis Unique Look" mod, install that mod first, then run this mod's Dahnis Patch.
Do not use the Steam Workshop for KotOR. It will almost certainly end with compatibility issues.
