Mods you can't play without

Recommended Posts

I'm curious: I'm sure the majority of you have played a ton of mods over the years. I'd like to know what mods you always tend to come back to time and time again. I'm sure at this point it goes without saying that everyone uses TSLRCM, but I'm sure everyone has their own favorites!

Personally, for K1 I always love using this mod:

As well as brotherhood of shadows.

TSL, This is my biggest "must have"

I always have the Combat Simulation Arena for K2. Whenever I'm bored during a playthrough I  just warp there and bet on matches. :P

I have plenty that I use, but hardly any that I really feel I couldn't do without. The only one I'd really say that about (other than restorations, of course) is the High Level Force Powers mod for K2.

Would you happen to have a link for that mod? I happen to really enjoy the look of those robes, but I have found it very difficult to actually find a place to download them (with Filefront being dead for me).

Yes - your Malak's Unique Apprentices, High Quality Ravager Backdrop, and [TSL] High Quality Starfields and Nebulas have been made permanent additions to my ovverride folder(s). 

 

Also, totally agree on NPC Overhaul for both Kotor1 and TSL.

I um... don't believe I made the pazaak cards, the Stars and Nebulas, HD skyboxes, or Malak's apprentice mod.. :/

 

In fact, I think the only mod I made on your list was the Effect Retextured Rework. :blush:

 

It's a good list, though...

To prevent these sorts of errors in the future, I suggest that anyone making lists from here on hyperlink to the mods you wish to promote - whether it's from here, Nexus, Gamefront, Gamebanana, or individual's own modder pages.

 

Don't know how to hyperlink? Perhaps the picture below will help.

Maybe Malkior and I are the same person ;)

 

Or djh simply confused our names^^

Could be the first.. We are rather obsessed with Skyboxes. ;)

Conspiracy confirmed!

 

I just realized there's no mods I couldn't play without (not even TSLRCM, as long as I remember to no trigger that "Redemption" quest at Dantooine) but the "Cyan Lightsaber Fix" would be pretty close.

Hello everyone, 

 

Apologies Malkior and Kexikus it was stupid of me! Sorry if any offence is caused I can't begin to contemplate how long your mods take to make!

 

I have now fixed the names and added links to my initial post, I will find the others when I get back from work as some are knightsoftheoldrepublicfilefront.com links instead of the filefront links they should be. 

 


Cheers, djh269
