Hello there! This is very interesting idea, and I feel like it fits well within the game's setting. It always struck me as a bit odd how in KotOR the Republic is this distant entity that you don't really interact with much until the very end (and Manaan, I suppose). My question is, does this mod require a fresh playthrough to work?
Per the rules, only Silveredge can create a new version of this mod. However, I previously created a standalone installer that uses TSLPatcher to set up the appearance entries. You can grab it here. After installing it, you will need to grab the the textures from Silveredge's mod and paste them into the Override folder.
