Thanks, that did the trick.
Serendipity bonus: Prowling through the registry trying to find the actual path (Vabulletizer gave incomplete info in the thread) before you responded let me find and purge the registry remnants of the failed attempt to install my dinosaur QuickCam's software a while back. So hopefully, I'll no longer be pestered by a leftover from that on startup.
Now that that's out of the way, I can give pre-playthrough thought about the mod itself. There is a change I noticed in the master changelist thread that I strongly question:
"R] Fassa is a Toydarian - Fassa was probably originally supposed to be Quello, the Toydarian who greeted the Exile at the landing pad. And then at the docks, be the overseer instead of the Twi'lek."
What is the evidence for this 'probably', other than them both managing docks? 🤔 Fassa speaks in smooth-voiced Huttese like all other male Twi'leks in the game do, versus Quello's raspy-voiced Basic, and also seems much more important than Quello (a bozo - like, you can give him a comically-small bribe if your Awareness is high enough - who comes off as a mockery of K1's dock clerks, and basically exists to foreshadow and be bullied by the Red Eclipse) what with being in charge of Vogga's freighter dispatch and having the authority to give people jobs, book passage, give or deny departure clearance to merchants.
Maybe it'll make more sense when I get to that point.
I installed 1.8.6 on Windows and the loading screen says 1.8.5, as well. I'm guessing it was never updated, because the included Read Me file is versioned 1.8.6.
This before and after picture comparison might be helpful.

As Scorchy put it in his walkthrough. "As we turn the corner, we see the Jedi Enclave has been miraculously rebuilt. Well, the mortar holes are still there, but at least it looks like someone shelled out for a drywall crew to come around."
Thanks for bringing that to our attention! We've uploaded a new version with some more bugfixes and tweaks, increased compatibility, and hopefully clearer instructions for installing if you have M4-78 installed. As to your question: Not sure, probably because it is LESS destroyed than when you visited before?
The easiest way to avoid this is have the registry point to your game directory.
Type regedit into search
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6332Node\lucasarts\kotor2
Double click on "Path" and paste your game directory location here. If there isn't one, right click and choose "create string value" and call it "Path". Double click and paste your game directory location.
It would be an extremely bad idea to do so.
TSLPatcher is a tool created to not only streamline installation but also to let mods that affect the same files play nice with each other. This is practically ESSENTIAL for major mods, especially mods like this that are supplements to another mod.
