PLEASE READ THROUGH THE MOD INFO ON THIS PAGE AND THE FAQ ARTICLE FOR MY KOTOR SAME-GENDER ROMANCE MODS BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS!

 

1. DESCRIPTION:

In KotOR II: TSL, certain party members can develop romantic feelings for the Exile, even though none of the romances in TSL were given much development, especially if compared to the first KotOR game. Among the possible romance options, only male Exiles can romance Visas Marr, with her romance scene (or at least, the closest thing the game has to one) occurs near the endgame (see below for details, though beware of possible spoilers). What this mod do is to make the Visas romance scene available for female Exiles as well.

In vanilla TSL, after the Rebuilt Jedi Enclave sequence and you return to the Ebon Hawk, you will be approached by Visas if your Exile is male, or the Disciple if your Exile is female. In Visas' case, she can confess her love for the male Exile, and the male Exile can agree to her to "look upon" each other through the Force.

This mod gets rid of the gender check for the Visas conversation post-Rebuilt Jedi Enclave, so Visas will always be the one who talks to the Exile regardless of the Exile's gender, even if the Disciple joins your party. Therefore, with this mod, female Exiles are also able to enjoy the same Visas scene as male Exiles do, including the romance.

Originally, Visas mentions the Handmaiden when she confesses her feelings for the Exile. This mod also checks if the Handmaiden joins your party to that particular dialogue, so with this mod, if you never recruited Handmaiden, Visas will not mention her.

This mod also provides an additional component to make Kreia reference the Exile’s interest in Visas, regardless of the Exile’s gender, during the player’s conversation with Kreia.

 

2. INSTALLATION:

First and foremost, make sure you have The Sith Lords Restored Content Mod (TSLRCM) installed since TSLRCM is REQUIRED for this mod to work.

!! ATTENTION!! STEAM USERS: If you play KotOR 2 on Steam, DO NOT USE THE STEAM WORKSHOP VERSION OF TSLRCM if you want to use this mod! Instead, use the installer (.exe) version of TSLRCM, which can be downloaded from Deadly Stream here.

I recommend reading this Deadly Stream post on why Steam Workshop is NOT recommended for modding KotOR 2.

Extract the Visas Marr and Female Exile Romance.7z archive you downloaded to anywhere you like, as long as it is not within the KotOR 2 directory. Run Install.exe. You will notice that this mod provides two installation options:

• Visas Romance Scene: This component will make Visas’ romance scene after the Rebuilt Jedi Enclave available for both male and female Exiles.
• Kreia’s Reference to Visas Romance: This component will make Kreia reference the Exile’s interest in Visas, regardless of the Exile’s gender, during the player’s conversation with Kreia.

You may choose to install both options, or only one of them. Once you have chosen the installation option(s) you want, point the installer to your KotOR 2 directory and let the installer do its job.

If you also have installed N-DReW25's Extended Enclave Patch, go to the "Compatibility for Extended Enclave Patch" folder, run Install.exe and point the installer to your KotOR 2 directory, where swkotor2.exe is located, and let the installer do its job.

When you install this mod, a new folder named "backup" will be created by the installer. Do not delete the folder or any of the files within the folder if you are planning on uninstalling this mod.

The "Source" folder includes the source of the scripts used by this mod for modders' reference. Ignore the "Source" folder if you only want to install and play this mod.

 

3. UNINSTALLATION:

If you installed the “Visas Romance Scene” component, go to the "backup" folder, cut and paste 006EBO.mod into the Modules folder in your KotOR 2 directory.

If you installed the “Kreia’s Reference to Visas Romance” component, go to the "backup" folder, cut and paste kreia.dlg into the Override folder in your KotOR 2 directory.

If you want to uninstall the compatibility patch for Extended Enclave Patch, go to the "backup" folder created by the TSLPatcher from this mod, cut and paste visasend.dlg into the Override folder in your KotOR 2 directory. Note that this step does not uninstall Extended Enclave Patch itself.

 

4. KNOWN ISSUES:

None currently known. If you find any other bugs or problems, please let me know.

 

5. MOD COMPATIBILITY:

Any other mod that modifies Visas' dialogue after the Rebuilt Jedi Enclave sequence will likely conflict with this mod, especially for the following files:

• k_attonend.ncs
• a_load006end.ncs
• visasend.dlg

The above files are used for Visas' dialogue after the Rebuilt Jedi Enclave sequence, and script that triggers Atton, Disciple or Visas' dialogue with the PC after the Rebuilt Jedi Enclave sequence.

The “Kreia’s Reference to Visas Romance” component of this mod modifies the kreia.dlg file, which is for Kreia’s global dialogue. Specifically, this mod removes the gender check to Visas’ romance in Kreia’s dialogue about Visas. In order to improve compatibility with other mods that also modify kreia.dlg, I have set up TSLPatcher to patch the DLG file instead of hard replacing it in the Override folder. If you are using any other mod that involves putting the kreia.dlg file in the Override folder, you must install my mod after the other mod.

If you use N-DReW25's Extended Enclave Patch, I have provided a compatibility patch, as noted in the “INSTALLATION” section above.

If you want to use DarthTyren's PartySwap mod, you need to install PartySwap first before installing this mod.

My Handmaiden and Female Exile - Disciple and Male Exile Romance mod also makes the Visas romance scene available for female Exiles, though Disciple will replace Visas in said scene if you play a male Exile. Unless you want the Visas romance scene available for both male and female Exiles, you do not need to install the “Visas Romance Scene” component of this mod if you want to use my Handmaiden and Female Exile - Disciple and Male Exile Romance mod. The “Kreia’s Reference to Visas Romance” component of this mod is compatible with  Handmaiden and Female Exile - Disciple and Male Exile Romance.

 

6. PERMISSION:

You may modify this mod for personal use or show this mod in screenshots. However, do not release your mods containing assets from my mod without my permission.

I do not use nor support Steam Workshop, so I do not wish any of my mods to be uploaded to Steam Workshop.
