Essential mods for best possible KotOR/TSL experience

[Sith Holocron]

How about Thunder3's KotOR Ultimate Mod?

 

Drastically improves the textures of the environments.

Isn't that unfinished though?

A darker Peragus is just unmissable. 

Ultimate Sound Mod by Shem really increase combat sound quality, specially with lightsabers.

That's an impressive list. Just want to mention you don't need TSL Fixed Icon/Proficiency Icons if you use TSLRCM 1.8.3( though.

Oh alright, I didn't know that. When in-game they still look like the vanilla version, maybe I just have to take them out of the override I guess.

Yeah, but it's worth overlooking I think.

Well, since I swapped the icons around in the feat.2da, so using that mod will make it look like vanilla again.

Although if it looks vanilla without the mod, you probably overwrote "our" feat.2da (and thus the fixes within).

I'd recommend going over to the KOTOR subreddit where they have some nice lists of mods for both games, I think there is a few things there that no one has mentioned yet

HI.

I am new to all this FYI. I've only played KOTOR on my Smartphone and Tablet (All I could afford) I just got a MacBook Pro for work (Need the MacBook for work or I would have gotten Windows) I have installed the Restored Content MOD and plan on installing the M4-78 EP mod as well, my concern is that I've heard the M4-78 EP is glitchy but I've also heard that is because people have too many mods installed. how much of this is true? I want the best possible game experience!

I recommend using TSLRCM always.  

 

I also suggest that you don't play M4-78 EP until you've completed a full game using TSLRCM - just you can notice what the differences are.  

 

In addition: There's supposed to be an update for the M4-78 EP coming out eventually, and you may as well wait for that to be released.

 

Finally: There's a decent selection of mods on this KOTOR Subreddit page.  (The thread owner guarantees compatibility if you follow his instructions.)
