An idea I've had at one point in time was to create a complete comprehensive tutorial series almost in the style of a textbook. It would cover all subjects at all knowledge levels. The idea is still there, but I find I'd much rather actually mod instead. lol
I think you guys might want to see the animation so I made this video. You don't need to watch the whole video as the first 20 seconds does the job nicely.
Well done, ndix UR!
Would you mind showing off a screenshot of the new texture?
Once you upload it, don't forget to include a read-me file that explains how to install it. The instructions should also be in the mod description as well.
A suggestion: Let's table this conversation until someone from NexusMods answers back - or at least answers one of the folks that have sent them email raising the subjects that were brought to their attention. We're only hearing one side of the conversation. It would be best to assign the motivation behind their actions rather than folks don't work for Nexus. At least that's what I say about it right now.
From the original review at FileFront:
"When I saw the user name Darth Shan, I can’t help but think of Bastila because Bastila's last name is Shan. To me the name tells me that the author is a fan of Bastila Shan. Not that it is abnormal because let’s face it, there are a lot of Bastila Shan fans out there. The biggest reason is because so many men out there think Bastila is hot. So when playing the original Knights of the Old Republic, most men love to play as a male PC because you have the opportunity to develop a romance with Bastila. If you play your cards right, you can go to a private area of the Ebon Hawk to have a kiss with Bastila. Ironically in the sequel, Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords, very area where you can kiss Bastila is where Kreia sits in the Ebon Hawk to meditate. The problem with KOTOR after you kiss Bastila is not to ask what happened between yourselves because of a game bug. It makes it seem like your kiss and Bastila falling in love with you never happened. The biggest evidence of that is when you confront Bastila on top of the Rakatan Temple. If the romance quest happened, it's possible to even have her offer herself to be your lover if you join the dark side. So that bug can really be annoying when you don't get that option, right? It was one of the things as playing multiple times that I figured out and knew that talking to Bastila wasn't worth it after kissing her on the Ebon Hawk. Well, Darth Shan is putting an end to it by fixing that annoying part so give him a hand for that. He also is using my Helena mod, who is Bastila’s mother in it. That quest is needed in order to complete the romance quest. Also he’s using parts of Master Kavar's Untold Love Story mod, all used with permission to have some enhancement to his mod. Overall, this all sounds very fun. Enjoy! Note: Please leave the author feedback, especially if you download this mod and use it. It really helps encourage the author to make more mods in the future. -Shem"
Original review from FileFront
"Time flies when you’re having fun and let’s face it. The Knights of the Old Republic games have been around for a good number of years. The original Knights of the Old Republic is about to have its four year anniversary. Can you believe it? The sequel, Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords is about to have its two and half year anniversary. Those numbers seem big, but yet it doesn’t seem that long ago these games were released.
Anyway, as time goes on and we keep playing our Knights of the Old Republic games, it tends to get easier and easier to play. We keep playing them because of the good storylines and being a Jedi or a Sith, using Force Powers, and building a lightsaber is just cool. Sometimes we need new challenges when playing our favorite games, wouldn’t you agree?
Darth Shan is back with another mod that gives you the options to increase the game difficulty level for both Knights of the Old Republic games. This mod is meant for advanced users. If you’re new to playing these games as some of you are I’ve noticed, I would make sure you’ve learned all the skills you can before trying this mod or you’re going to be very frustrated with it. Hopefully this mod will breathe new life into wanting to play them again for those who are bored of it, but lurk around here seeing what’s new. Well, this is new, so give it a shot.
As mentioned in the last paragraph that this is for both Knights of the Old Republic games and there are folders that are labeled which games they belong to, so make sure you install the right files for the right game in order to keep your games functioning properly. Get ready for a new challenge. Enjoy the mod advanced users!

The original review at FileFront for this mod "Darth Shan brings us an update to his Story Mod for SW:KotOR II: TSL. This mod adds a lot of content after you defeat Darth Nihilus, including a few visions, and a whole load of new dialogue. Darth Shan felt that the last version was a little 'messy', and so here is the cleaned-up version. In it, we get enhancements on the previous version - the largest probably being the complete overhaul of the first vision, and the 'clean-up' of the second. Other features included in previous versions are not having to recruit the Disciple if you don't have the Handmaiden, some adjustment to the cutscenes of the Handmaiden's sisters, the ability to sacrifice Visas for nearly any excuse ( ) and the HK-Remote-G0-T0 conversation on Malachor V. The author does warn us of one or two bugs with the mod, however. First of all, attempting to use the Party Selection screen on Malachor V with this mod will make your game crash to the desktop. However, Darth Shan has been unable to find the cause, and suspects it is something coded into the game's .exe file, and advises you to ignore this option if it comes up, and continue with the game. Since you can't use any of your party on Malachor anyway, (aside from the Remote ) there wouldn't be much point in trying to use the party selection screen in any case. Second, Darth Shan has not been able to fix the issue with Carth showing up instead of Admiral Cede around 50% of the time for Dark Side run-throughs. Third, the author has encountered some issues of difficulty balance on Malachor. Neither of these last two should cause crashes or other problems, however. Darth Shan has also decided not to use the TSLPatcher, but has ensured compatibility with the following mods: - The Ultimate Sabre Mod (USM) - Coruscant Jedi Temple - Azgath N'Dul's Tomb - The Dark Apprentice - Droid Factory Reconstructed - (his) Droid Planet Mod. (NOT the M4-78 Enhancement Project) Please note: For reasons of compatibility, if you are to use any of the above mods, with the exception of the Droid Planet Mod, they should be installed before this one. The Droid Planet Mod, however, must be installed after this one for compatibility. -Darth InSidious"
I can get Seikans armor of the old republic and his Mandalorian armors posted? I speak to the author. Although I believe he wants to come back and better them but I'll ask.
"The property of FileFront" and not the property of NexusMods. The question I implied was "Couldn't the reviewers request they remove those reviewers in much the same way the modders could request the mods to be removed?"
In addition to the mods, I don't see how they can explain using the original mod descriptions as well. I would think that the official mod reviewers (Shem, Emperor Devon, Marius Fett, et al) would have a right to complain as well.
