Hi everyone! I started playing this series again on my original Xbox and I'm having a wonderful time with KOTOR I, it's beautiful to go through the game as a more mature person and have a marvelous time enjoying the subtle details, it really makes me appreciate the effort many people did in order to give us an unforgettable experience. (I'm as corny as Kansas in August, sorry, I just can't help it D': ) Anyways, I still have a long way till KOTOR II, and I know it's easier and more enjoyable to play it on PC, but I would really want to play it on the console (I know it may sound stupid, I know, but I've always played this game on PC with the restored content. I really want to dig into unknown realms and live the experience as it hit the shelfs, on console and everything. As a matter of fact, I think I've enjoyed more KOTOR on Xbox than in PC) . My only problem (aside from missing the restored content from PC) it's that, when I played KOTOR II for the first time, I started the game with a Bastila's head on PC, and it has been a tradition for me since then.
Installing mods on Xbox it's just not a problem for me, I know how to and where to put the files. My concerns are related to crashing the game, because I've read that you'll have problems installing model files and things like that. I'm not sure if it's safe to put any file of Bastila's head mods (for PC) on the game (which they usually have TSL patchers) or if there are other ways of handling the situation.
Of course I've searched for info on the topic, but it seems that most things related to Xbox Kotor games have virtually dissapeared. For what I've gathered, the easier way of getting mods was to download a save file and FTP it to your console. I've found many useful sites, but unfortunately they are mostly offline. For example, most Xbox users refered to Storm Singer~~Vox Angel blog in Windstream, but it's offline making the files dead. Another example was in the Xbox scene, and one specific thread brought my attention. Apparently, a user named Dak Vesser made a modpack of Bastila in the game, and also "modified the Peragus Kolto Tank which becomes a vending machine for lightsaber's and other items, plus you can use it to change Bastila's lightside/darkside alignment", but, as you can imagine, everything is as dead as Taris (I even remember watching videos about the mod in youtube with Bastila in white Revan's robes and tho lightsabers in Peragus and having the Xbox HUD, but I can't find those either...)
I just wanted to know if anyone would be kind enough to help me to put the head on the game or to share the files/saves I've mentioned above in order to play as Bastila, please! I could say it 's rather shocking finding out that many of KOTOR's history has fallen to obscurity and no one cares about it, I could say it's normal, because we have superior things, but, it's just simply mesmerizing... Here are the websites i found: Windstream blog: http://web.archive.org/web/20090211025914/http://home.alltel.net:80/jls31/index.html

(I link them with archive because you cannot access them in any other way...) Of course I know how to install mods, of course I know I need a modded Xbox (which I have), of course I know the PC version is bastly superior, and many other things, but I really want to live this experience. Thanks in advance! Have a great day ^^
First of all, thanks for you replies, it has been interesting to learn more about modding. Sorry for repliying at this time! Let me see... I'm incredibly stupid modifying things, BUT, let me see if I understood. Would you think it's easier to replace an existing PC (as you said) with Bastila's KOTOR 1 head/or the one used in KOTOR 2 (extracting it from the xbox game and then replacing it with any head)? Would it be compatible or something? As I said, I'm very new to changing this things on my own, this is quite overwhelming... So, there is not any news about the saves? Are they totally lost? That's a shame... But, as I said, thank you very much for your help! ^^
