1. DESCRIPTION:
This mod overhauls the female Twi'lek NPCs in KotOR 1 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.
- Gives a unique appearance to:
- Yuthura Ban when encountered on Dantooine
- Zaerdra - Hidden Beks bodyguard, Taris
- Lyn Sekla - dancer, Taris
- Janice Nall - droid shop owner, Taris
- Kandon's Bodyguard - Black Vulkar Base
- Malare - Bastila's quest
- Lena - Mission's quest
- Zoriis Bafka - swoop racer, Tatooine
- Casandra Mateil - swoop racer, Manaan
- Zeena - swoop racer, Manaan
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 with matching skin tones.

2. INSTALLATION:
Run Install.exe and select your KotOR 1 game directory.
There are 3 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
If you use the default installation, you DO NOT need to install NPC replacement ONLY or Playable Twi'leks ONLY.
You should be safe to reinstall this mod on top of itself without any problems.
You will probably want to use a widescreen mod such as this
Without a high resolution, the bump mapping looks pretty bad.
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 1 directory, and use the "Tools > uninstall/restore backup" option to revert all changes made by this mod.
---
4. KNOWN ISSUES:
If you have met any of the NPCs, they will not have their unique appearance. You should use a save from beforehand.
If you find any bugs or problems, please report them.

5. MOD COMPATIBILITY:
Installing this should not break any other mods or have any conflicts, including K1R.
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 other than 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.
Notably, this mod conflicts with KotOR 1 Twi'lek Female NPC Diversity
That mod directly installs to the override folder instead of into modules, so you will need to uninstall that mod if you want to see the NPC appearances from this mod. However, if you wish to keep any appearances from that mod or any other female Twi'lek NPC mods, you can install those after this one to overwrite specific NPCs without an issue.
Do not use the Steam Workshop for KotOR. It will almost certainly end with compatibility issues.
