Ah yes! There are quite a few differences between my mod and the original NPC Overhaul mod by Kainzorous Prime, here are some of the differences: 1) Installation: The NPC Overhaul by Kain utilizes .MOD files which makes it totally incompatible with K1R and the K1CP mod. My mod, on the other hand, modifies the NPC's UTC file directly inside their .MOD files (as provided by K1CP as it is a requirement before installing my mod) without the need to hard overwrite .MOD files or .UTC files inside said .MOD files! 2) No unique items: NPC Overhaul notoriously (at least in my opinion) uses 'unique armor' for NPCs. For example, on the mod page it shows the merchant Eli Gand wearing Exar Kun's Battle Armor. I find things like this lore breaking as Exar Kun's Battle Armor is supposed to be just one item whereas a Combat Suit, for example, is mass produced. It is for this same reason why I dislike Inyri Forge's Enhanced Merchant mod as it does the same thing with unique items (I believe Adum Larp sells up to 4 Naga Sadow Poison Blades on Dantooine for example). This screenshot is but one example of how Kainzorous has used unique items on NPCs, from memory I believe some Black Vulkars have Baragwin Armor, Redros the Vulkar Swoop Racer has Jurgan Kalta's Power Suit, Davik's Armor was removed to make way for Verpine Zal Alloy Mesh and so on. 3) Loot: This part is actually notorious in TSL's NPC Overhaul but in the K1 NPC Overhaul I do know it's possible to leave Taris with Eriadu Prototype Armor and Verpine Zal Alloy Mesh. And in K2 it's possible to get some high quality/end game tier gear as guaranteed loot from the Citadel Hangar Assassins, no need to save up to buy from a merchant or rely on random loot drops with TSL NPC Overhaul you'll get half of the overpowered items from the end game at the start! My mod does not touch loot, at all! The only thing this mod will do is touch up the clothing, armor and appearances of the NPCs you find in the game in a lore-friendly manner. 4) Bonuses: The original NPC Overhauls for both games come with bonus content that aren't necessarily related to NPC diversity, the most glaring of these 'bonuses' is obviously the new Imperial Officer uniforms: Now let's compare Kain's work to mine: My mod doesn't add anything new, that means players can install their own Officer reskins and the like and my mod won't break it whereas with Kain's mod it kind of forces you to play with his new Imperial uniforms unless you know how to personally remove the associated files. As I'm sure we can see from my screenshots and the original NPC Overhaul mod found here I've definitely taken my own unique take on all of the NPC appearances to offer a different experience than the one offered in Kain's NPC Overhaul mod. Plus, this mod isn't necessarily meant to be stand alone... in the spoiler in the very first post of this thread I've made a list of other mods which will be made after this mod, this ranges from a Twi'lek specific NPC Overhaul, a mod which adds more fat commoners to the game, a mod which adds Onderon style commoners to the game and so on. With your experience with NPCs in mind, did you ever encounter the 1st bug I mentioned in the 2nd post? And if so how did you manage to fix it?
