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.
Atton Rand is among the potential romance options of TSL, however, in the vanilla game, he flirts with and expresses romantic interests for female Exiles only. What this mod does is to change the gender check of Atton's flirting and romantic dialogue, so he will express interest in male Exiles as well.
Please note that this mod is ONLY COMPATIBLE WITH THE ENGLISH LOCALIZATION OF TSL AND TSLRCM. I do not provide support for non-English localizations of TSL and TSLRCM.
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 Atton Rand and Male Exile Romance.7z archive you downloaded to anywhere you like, as long as it is not within the KoOR 2 directory. Run Install.exe. You will notice that this mod provides four installation options. You may only choose ONE of these options:
- Version A: This option will make Atton express interest in both male and female Exiles.
- Version B: This option will make Atton express interest in male Exiles only, and Atton will not flirt with a female Exile.
- Version A + Alternate Revan Romances REDUX Compatible: Choose this option if you have my Alternate Revan Romances REDUX installed and you want to use Version A of my mod.
- Version B + Alternate Revan Romances REDUX Compatible: Choose this option if you have my Alternate Revan Romances REDUX installed and you want to use Version B of my mod.
Once you have chosen the installation option you want, and select your KotOR 2 game folder as your KotOR 2 directory path, click the “Install” button and let the installer do its job.
This mod also provides compatibility patches for the following mods:
- My Handmaiden and Female Exile - Disciple and Male Exile Romance mod
- danil-ch's Kreia's Fall Cutscene (In-Game)
If you want to use any of the above mod alongside this mod, go to the "Compatibility Patches" folder, and follow the instructions written on the READ ME file.
When you install this mod, two new folders named "backup" and “uninstall” will be created by the installer in the same folder as the installer. Do not delete the folders 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:
Open Install.exe and select your KotOR 2 directory where you installed this mod. From the “Tools” dropdown menu, select “Uninstall Mod / Restore Backup”, then confirm to uninstall the mod. You can also choose to delete the backup after uninstalling the mod.
4. KNOWN ISSUES:
None currently known. If you find any bugs or problems, please let me know.
5. MOD COMPATIBILITY:
Apart from TSLRCM, which is required for this mod to work, any other mods that modify any of the following content may conflict with this mod:
- Atton's main dialogue (atton.dlg)
- Atton's dialogue on Peragus (101atton.dlg, 102atton.dlg)
- Dialogue of the Atton & Bao-Dur cutscene on the Ebon Hawk (baoatt_p.dlg)
- Atton's endgame dialogue (904atton.dlg)
- Kreia's endgame dialogue (904kreia.dlg)
- Script for the party member cutscenes on the Ebon Hawk (k_003ebo_enter.ncs and a_next_scene.ncs from the 003EBO module)
I have set up the installer to install this mod by patching the relevant dialogue files to improve compatibility with other content mods as much as possible, but it is still not guaranteed to be compatible with every other mods that modify the same files.
If you use any of the below mods, I have provided compatibility patches, as noted in the "INSTALLATION" section above:
- My Handmaiden and Female Exile - Disciple and Male Exile Romance mod
- danil-ch's Kreia's Fall Cutscene (In-Game)
If you want to us my Alternate Revan Romances REDUX alongside this mod, you must install Alternate Revan Romances REDUX first, then you must choose one of the “Alternate Revan Romances REDUX Compatible” option when you install this mod.
If you want to use DarthTyren's PartySwap mod alongside this mod, you must install this mod AFTER PartySwap, otherwise you'll miss out certain Atton romance content when you're playing as a male Exile.
This mod is compatible with the Atton’s ending dialogue component of Pavijan357's Unofficial TSLRCM Tweak Pack.
If you want to use Kaidon Jorn’s Schematic Lightsaber Mod (SLM), you must install my mod after SLM.
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.
You may use the k_003ebo_enter and a_next_scene scripts from this mod to make compatibility patches with your mod, but do not claim these modifications as your own.
I do not use nor support Steam Workshop, so I do not want any of my mods to be uploaded to Steam Workshop.
