Handmaiden Sisters Not Appearing

[miseryrevived 0]

I was playing through 1.8.3 yesterday and everything was going fine until I hit the polar academy. None of the handmaiden sisters appeared. I searched the whole area for them, but could only find the Handmaiden who joins you. I tried reloading, backtracking with other saves, and reinstalling the mod, but none of these methods worked. I even reinstalled the game and still had no luck. I don't have any other mods installed besides the most recent M4-78 one. I reinstalled the game again today and played back to that point with a new character and they still didn't appear. I didn't have this problem with 1.8.2 - and I'm playing this version of the mod on the same computer I used to play the previous one. I don't know if they're related, but strangely, the random Duros who is supposed to attack you in the entertainment module also failed to show up in either of my play-throughs of 1.8.3. A quick Google search turned up someone who had similar problems with an earlier 1.8 version, but they were able to resolve it via re-installation, which doesn't seem to be working for me. Any ideas?

We'll probably need more information. Answer all of these except question 9 because . . . you've already done that.

 

1) When did the problem begin to occur?

2) Did you install the latest version of the mod?

3) What version of the game do you have? (Steam, 4CD, KotOR Collection?) What region is the game designed for if it's the 4 CD version?

4) Did you update your game as required by your game's region?

5) Did you install this over the previous version(s), or did you perform a fresh installation as required by the TSLRCM's read-me file?

6) Did you use the TSLPatcher, if provided?

7) Were there any errors in the TSLPatcher installation?

8) What other mods have you installed? Please give an accurate list and provide links to each of these mods - even if they are found on this site. (We don't actually know them all!.)

9) Can you be more specific about the error? At what point did it happen?

10) Have you tried re-downloading the mod?

11) Have you tried using a different save game?

12) Have you tried starting a new game?

13) What Operating System do you use? (List Virtual Machines as well if you are using them.)

I apologize, I should have checked first to see what the procedure was.

 

1) Upon arriving at the Telos Polar Academy.

2) Yes

3) 4CD - whatever the US version is.

4) Yes

5) No - I had to reinstall the game to play it on this computer. Then I updated it to 2.1 and downloaded 1.8.3.

6) I downloaded 1.8.3 from this site using the installer it came with.

7) No

8) None, besides the most recent M478 mod.

10) Yes

11) Yes

12) Yes

13) Windows 8

Q. There are no Handmaidens at the academy/Stuck infront of the Hawk after the Academy.

A. You have overwritten our appearance.2da with an incompatible version of another mod, missing certain key entries needed for TSLRCM to work properly. If you still have the original TSLRCM appearance.2da replace it, otherwise a full re-install of TSLRCM is required.

In both cases a save is needed from before entering the academy.
