Handmaiden for Females
Vanir's Workbench
Better Male Bodies
Slender Body (also tried it without this one, since appearence.2da is present in TSLRCM)
A mod to get rid of the intro movies
...and several other sound/texture replacers, as well as the official patches.
I have a seperate install of KOTORII with only TSLRCM1.8 and Handmaiden for Females, and yet another install with ONLY TSLRCM1.8 installed, and both of those get the same issue.
If I use a completely vanilla install, the cutscene hangs at the very beginning before the admiral even appears. It also allows me to choose my party before going to the cutscene with vanilla, whereas with TSLRCM it does not.
I also started the save with Droid Enhancement, Kill the Ithorian, and Full Force, but uninstalled those after I went to the Jedi Academy on Telos for the first time.
First pic is hang point with TSLRCM and second pic is hang point with vanilla.
