Whoever made this mod is a godsend! It fixes almost everything that needs fixing for modern systems in 2026 for KOTOR 1, including issues for AMD users like me. It has saved me so many nerve cells. So now I can finally play with Soft Shadows and Frame Buffer Effects, except the Grass — sometimes for grass to work properly you need to restart your game. In my opinion this is the best KOTOR mod right now, no exaggeration.
I'm really thrilled. Originally, to make these modifications, you had to download a lot of texture packs and apply various patches—and in the correct order, too. With this patch, it's much more convenient, and it works without a hitch.
I'd also recommend these two texture mods to round out the result.
