    Hidden Beks, at some point yes. The commoners are a little tricky... the only reason they need to be restored is that they have dialogue for if you're wearing the Sith Uniforms. These commoners exist in the Cantina, but obviously you can't wear the Sith Uniform in the Cantina without cheats. I'll think of a way to have these guys restored without having a bunch of random people out and about in a gang war zone. The early versions of K1CP was simply too small to have made any incompatibilities with K1R back then. K1R as it stands now is inherently broken, and since the K1R team leader is gone the mod will be fixed - that's why K1CP abandoned K1R compatibility and why I made RC-K1CP to act as an alternative to it. Sleheyron was cut fairly early on, all the Sleheyron screenshots we see are from a time before the Odyssey Engine was adopted. We have very little restorable Sleheyron content outside of one broken arena module and a hallway and the planet textures because of this, it could just be that the Bioware developers decided very early on that the list of planets they had wasn't feasible and so they decided to simply cut a planet to make time for all the planets. Star Wars Battlefront is more focused on the whole "war" side of Star Wars and Republic Commando has very little Jedi inclusion in its plotline. Personally, I think the plotline for Taris fits just fine and the conversion into a Jedi on Dantooine blends well with the story the developers are trying to tell. But your concerns were heard, it's why Obsidian Entertainment chose to make the player a Jedi from the beginning - that decision was derived from fan feedback. I think many of the things cut by Bioware were cut for good reasons, for example: * Bioware Devs couldn't waste their time trying to place every item into the game so some those items that were forgotten were cut. * Gloveless Commoner clothing required a texture variant for each skin tone, increasing the clothing textures from 9 to 27 - why waste time making all of those when you can just have gloves. * The Vulkar Sublevel was either too confusing or its development was taking too long so they got rid of it and shortened the level to save time. * The Outcast Children are literally starving children, who's to say if Bioware kept them in the game that they wouldn't have caused an uproar back in 2004? * There are also audio soundset files for the children NPCs, I'm hoping we all know what a "soundset" in Kotor is and exactly what that entails. Bioware cut many things for good reasons, mostly to save time to get the game more polished. We modders simply come around to collect the pieces and try to bring them back to life in the form of mods like RC-K1CP. No, there isn't. Though since the module itself does exist, it wouldn't take much for someone to come along and repopulate the module with objects and critters to fight. You guys are arguing about Jedi and Lightsabers as if the Jedi from the Start mod isn't a thing.

    Thank you for the link! As soon as I have some free time, I'll definitely try to install this mod. If I’m not mistaken, early versions of the Community Patch did not conflict with K1R. However, there were reports on forum about bugs related to the Pazaak tournament on Manaan. Hardly anyone would deny that Taris is more meticulously detailed compared to the other planets in KotOR. Moreover, one of the planets, Sleheyron, didn’t even make it into the game’s final release. I might be mistaken, but this was likely one of the main reasons for the criticism directed at Taris: a significant portion of the content was cut from the game to free up resources for the development of this planet. Perhaps the issue lies in the fact that both fans and casual lovers of Star Wars have become hostages to a certain concept. For them, the Star Wars Universe is primarily associated with the Force, Lightsabers, Jedi, Sith, the vast expanses of the galaxy, and an immense variety of planets. When they start playing the game, they find that their expectations are disappointed. If we step away from the main topic, wouldn’t you, as a content creator, want to use your work to complete what the developers didn’t have time to finish for various reasons, thereby bringing the game closer to their original vision? Perhaps I’m mistaken, but I have a feeling that this content is secondary for you Thank you very much for such a detailed and interesting response! I learned several facts that were previously unknown to me. From now on, instead of Rukil, I’ll be imagining Jolee And to conclude the topic of questions about the material that didn’t make it into the final release of the game: am I correct in understanding that, aside from the Lost Modules Pack, there is no mention of an additional level for Shadowlands in the game files?
