Elwood288 8 Posted March 6, 2022 Long story short I just finished modding the game started playing and got a crash on Peragus. No idea which mod caused it so it's time to start over and be more careful this time. I've heard in the past that you can use subdirectories in the override folder for KOTOR 2. When I say subdirectory I mean put a mods files in a folder that is inside the override folder. Naturally I've got some concerns about this so I wanted to ask some questions: 1. Can I use sub directories in the override folder? 2. Would you recommend using them? 3.What files shouldn't be in sub directories? I know 2das shouldn't but anything else? 4.Any tips you use on keeping your installed mods organized? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ebmar 893 Posted March 6, 2022 Quite opposite to what DP suggested -- I'm not encouraging you to use it, but if you know what you're doing--at least locally--it's worth a try. I'm using it along my TSL build, and are comfortable with. I'd enthusiastically use it for K1 as well if only it supports it, which apparently not. Be advised that I'm using GOG version of TSL, so I can't tell if things works the same with others [Steam, retail, etc.]. And to answer your questions -- 8 hours ago, Elwood288 said: 1. Can I use sub directories in the override folder? Yes, you can for TSL but only one level apart, IIRC -- for example; Override \ GUI -- and not Override \ GUI \ Menu 8 hours ago, Elwood288 said: 2. Would you recommend using them? Only if you think you need to, or most importantly -- can. 8 hours ago, Elwood288 said: 3.What files shouldn't be in sub directories? I know 2das shouldn't but anything else? From my documentation should only be 2DAs and JRL. 8 hours ago, Elwood288 said: 4.Any tips you use on keeping your installed mods organized?
