I haven't played KOTOR 2 since it was first released and I was about 13 years old, but hearing about the remake reminded me of this game and heard it was so much better with the mods. Stoked to play this again with these mods after 15 years! Awesome compilation man!
Naw big thabk you for watching!! I hope this brings back the nostalgia of old for ya!
They're apparently changing the combat mechanics, so interested in seeing what happens with it, and hoping to god that they do it justice
@@luckyassassin1it‘s gonna be another action combat rpg… 😢
We meet again my nigga,i come back to this video at least once a year due to how informative it is.
This "modding guides" are essential to anyone who seeks the definitive experience for the KOTOR games,this videos are absolute gold.😎👍
The biggest appreciation man. Glad after a bit of time video is still useful. Thanks so much for watching and swinging by during that time frame
Thank you so much, i have been waiting to play KOTOR2 for a while and i think this just gave me the push to play it!
All the mods are listed below so have a fun time man! Playing this game now has been one of the best things lately.
great mic, awesome voice man. very relaxing i found myself in the same situation with modern games being a bit shit. i never picked this up but bought it and found myself here for some mods. thank you for the vid! im excited to see what its like
Very glad to help how I can man thanks so much for the watch!
I feel like we're overdo for some kind of gameplay rebalance mod.
- HK factory always feels busted.
- Several parts in the game can catch you off guard by separating your team, heavily stacking against non-Force characters.
-The Influence system funnels you into very specific party lineup in order to "Jedify" everyone to avoid those situations. I've done 2 plays without a walkthrough, only training 2 or so per game into Jedi
Well to be fair HK factory wasn't in vanilla so it's why it's not making sense.
Difficulty spikes I get to splitting parties. It's not the most balanced at times but I getchu
How funny, I literally just reinstalled KOTOR 2 and enjoyed this video of yours! Happy to see there’s still champs like you playing this gem of a game. Also, u could never go wrong with that Bastila face preset 😏
I am unironically that boi that plays this like...once a year. It's pretty baddddddddddddddd
Thank you! I've recently got back into the game, I had a couple of the major mods, but I've gone through and subscribed to them, the Ultimate Saber Mod I can't find on Steam? It probably has another name, but this is a great list and helpful to find a newer video for those looking to do so from 2021 and beyond
Will do man. And links are all down below for ya!
You should try nexus mods it makes modding games like this fallout NV Skyrim so we'll make sure to get the script extenders I'm pretty sure kehlps used nexus In the past
Also the script extendera run better then without it at least in 2014 on my shitty laptop It did
In the description for the Saber mod it says:
''If you are using, or interested in using TSLRCM (which I HIGHLY suggest).. this mod is not for you. Trust me, it will cause much headache and heartache if you try running both mods ;)''
So far in my play through I have o my run into slight texture mods nothing crazy. Course use at your own risk.
@@Kelphelp Okay thanks
@@DeviN99de no problem. Good luck man
@@DeviN99de I used the Saber mod and my game breaks after a certain point. So I don't recommend AT ALL to use both mods.
NEW SERIES WOOOOOOOO
Its all because you gave me the wonderful idea boo :3
Mmmmmm, sounds goooood! Just subscribed
Big thanks man! Glad you enjoyed it#
Amazing video
Thank you for watching sir!
great vid very helpful,thank you so much!
My pleasure man I hope you got thr mods you needed!
Good video Thanks for posting
Thanks for watching good sir!
I'm planning to play through Kotor 2 again, but on Android this time. I was amazed that the game was released for droid, and i'm looking forward to it.
Here's hoping it works well man. Just kinda insane it was released on there actually
The Aspyr Kotor 2 port isn't that good but they did a great job on Kotor 1.
I'm starting to think everything KOTOR 2 touches is cursed.
For anyone interested kotor2 restored content mod is not available on the android app version.
Preciate u my boi
And I preciate you for watching sir
I really like this new format, kind a complement of Port vs Port.
I need to play the KOTOR saga, I found them on the OG Xbox and with the Backup Compatibility I thinking to play both on my One X in 4K 👍
One of the best rpgs ever made. Got its problems but still epic asf
Still one I love to this day and play frequently. I adore it
Thx i play kotor 2 now :)
You are welcome pepe
loved the vid dude just wish you would've posted steam workshop alternatives
There should be offline versions that aren't steam workshop ones so you should be able to find them
Maybe it's time to play Kotor games again XD
It's always time to play KOTOR
Great mod list other than USM having quests that break the restored content mod.
Appreciate it and the watch!
👍👍👍👍👍
I started Kotor 2 again and got trapped at the end of the Telos Academy only to encounter a glitch with having the Armor pack and Tslr. If you guys are running both, DON'T pick up the Mandalorian armor in the academy. I was an idiot and didn't have multiple earlier saves
Does the game crash or stutter? What happens when you do
I don't think usm is compatible with tslrcm,is it?
Спасибо, с радостью перепройду)
Чувак, можешь помочь? Хочется в Котор 2 сыграть, с фулл контентом. Есть какие нибудь советы и какие сборки собрать?
@@MedusonMatveev Планета дройдов и вырезанный контент-всё для тебя
@@j.winchester5172 По больше информации, как всё это скачать? Сам в английском не шибко шарю.
Hey, I suggest doing a video on r/kotor subreddit mod guide for both kotor I and II. Yes, that mod guide has around 100 mods for both games but when installed mods really make games beautiful. You can install only mods that marked as essential in that guide too and avoid anything else though.
I would be down, maybe wouldn't be a bad idea retread the whole guide. I'll take it into consideration for sure
@@Kelphelp Please do!
Yea as much as I'd like to it's way too time consuming for one project. It's gonna take away from other things I have planned so I won't be able to do it
Hi, I am sorry, but I am not too smart. How can I install steam mods via manual? Should I just subscribe at steam and later add “manual” mods to Override ?
Bruh not at all you good#
Usually you need to place the mods in Override, then go into the INI folder snd add the text to enable.
Look it up to be sure but i think it was "EnableCheats=1"
Check to cross check.
Hi there. I was wondering if the Ultimate Worlds, Skybox and Ebon Hawk HD mods work for M4-78 EP as well?
They should have no problem. I played it through with that with little problem.
Just running into this video now, do you know the relevant mods for the lightsabers in the steam workshop?
It's been a while but def check. Might be there!
Will you make one for the first KOTOR & the Jedi Knight series?
For sure first KOTOR I can easily do. Jedi Knight series I gotta do research. Most of the mods I have seen for multiplayer skins but not much for singleplayer. I'll do digging soon!
Are there any skin mods for the player model? I love this personal touch in games although it has proven quite difficult to execute properly
I haven't seen too many but I do steer clear from them since it does go away from Canon. But there are ways to spawn certain clothing to appear as Nihlus or other sith lords
I just started a kotor 2 run with some mods. Im a bit confused because the ultimate re texture mods for the planets looks like there for the original kotor?
Hmmm did you install it correctly when you followed the Readme?
I didn't install it at all. When you follow the link the description says "drop files into your override folder in the swkotor directory" swkotor is the first game. The directory in the 2nd game is called Knights of the Old Republic II
What are the best items? Are they on top of the list or on the bottom?
How the list works is through essential mods, graphical and other enhancements. The list isn't from top or bottom
Do you have to install the high quality audio mod on the steam version too?
Most likely yes. Would recommend it
How do you uninstall them after ? Isn't there a mod manager for kotor 2 ?
Not at all. To Uninstaller you actually have to delete the files to make it possible. It's pretty rudimentary compared to say New Vegas or Fluffy Manager but it's as basic as it gets
@@Kelphelp Damn thats rough, thanks
No problem
GENERAL KENOBI!
If only he could be here.
Thank you for the video man very helpful, one question regarding the audio patch, is this not necessary to download if I have the steam version?
Naw thabk you for the watch Virgil.
As for the patch if you have the GOG, Steam or DVD of KOTOR 2 you don't need to do it. It's mostly for the physical cd version
@@Kelphelp thanks for the quick reply! wanted to get in some kotor 2 in between slaying demons haha
Always man. I'll play your game...
One day 😭
@@Kelphelp one day man 🙏😭 for now it’s modding dmc v with a bunch of Vergil stuff lol
Hey kelp, can I use workshop mods and still manual download mods? There's a couple of mods I want from the nexus but I still want to use workshop for tslrcm and some textures
That answer to that is a big FAT yes. You can easily do so.
@@Kelphelp wait how? Because when I tried kotor 2 auto updated and the mods I manually put into the override folder weren't working. Only the workshop mods
To.be safe give KOTOR 2 a fresh install + steam workshop mods. Then after that manually add them. Steam workshop must be auto deleting items. Make sure to do those first.
@@Kelphelp ok will do
Thank you for the video. one thing I feel needs to be mentioned though is on the Ultimate Saber Mods page it says it is NOT compatible with TSLRCM and that you will be in for some trouble if you try to use both.
You are for sure correct that the mod notes do state that. I might have overlooked simply since the Saber mods did work with TSLRCM. Least for me. But appreciate it. And thanks for watching!
I'm trying to mod this game on steam Linux using proton, but it doesn't work. Is there a step by step guide to modding?
Can't say there is in the readmes. Since the mods were developed on windows, I can only imagine the incompatibility issues on Linux.
What is your go to KOTOR character build?
I usually tend to play Jedi Counseler alot or mage in this case. He gets a ton...of force powers, couple usable feats and it's all good.
Is the gog version similar to steam in terms of updates and patches?
Actually not in this case. The update is exclusive to steam so it's necessary to get that version
any mod to skip to where i hjave a saber in kotor 2 ??
No but you can use cheats to spawn one in your inventory. That's one way to get around ut
Hello I wanted to start modding kotor 2 physical copy, do you have a internal disc drive that you use or is there a external one you would suggest
I gotchu. I used to use an internal but since I upgraded I went completely external. This is the drive I use and works beautifully.
amzn.to/33yhkqp
@@Kelphelp Thanks this is great as my pc doesn't have a built in disc drive. and i wanted to try modding the physical version instead of the steam on my second storage
Do you need to start a new character for these mods to take effect?
Nope for the most part you can go in at any time
Can you show a game video showing these mods working. What they look like
Usually I dint because these videos become much much longer and for time sake I condense it. The Readme should be fairly simple to follow to install
Not only am I new to KOTOR, I'm a pc gaming novice...never been more confused lol
As long as you read the readme's you should be fine :) Take your time with it. Shouldn't be too hard.
Can't find the ultimate saber mod on the steam work shop??
Cuz it ain't. Link for download is legit in the description.
DO i need the audio patch if I have the steam version?
I would say so yes just to get higher quality
Hola, buenas tardes. Quisiera saber si esto funciona en el port de Android también
No la neta que este version de KOTOR nomas para PC, no para mobile.
i don't find the ultimate saber mod in the steam workshop
That one specifically isn't. Check the description. Should be there
You never mentioned GoG version in all this since I got that version of KotOR 2.
Should be essentially the same and treated as the physical. So it does NOT have steam workshop, you have to add all the mods manually
im hoping vortex can organize the mods the way they need to be
I wouldn't count on Vortex for this. Doesn't seem to be made in that capacity
How does the steam workshop interact with vortex mod manager (nexus)
Mainly interested in if I can install all mods excluding TSL restored content (which I grabbed from the workshop) on top of the TSL restored patch I did directly on steam, or if I should unsubscribe and do every mod through nexus.
@@tresmcneil good question. So it's pretty simple with steam workshop. Subscribe button installs, press again when you wanna stop. Install what you want. If you would like you can use vortex, or manually install them. As long as you can keep track you good. I use a combo of steam workshop, and manually installing the mods
Hey!
So apparently the Unlimited Saber Mod is incompatible with TSLRCM. Is there a way you managed to get them to work together?
What was your install order when you installed it?
@@Kelphelp
Oh I haven't installed it.
I just read in the description for unlimited lightsaber that it's incompatible with tslrcm.
And then in the discussion section, the author goes into why it's not compatible.
Is there a patch or something? Or did you somehow get it to work?
It kind of worked for me but glitches out. So does have limitations. The textures for the sabers don't stick to the models
@@Kelphelp
Ahhhh, okay, that's a shame.
Aw well, thanks for replying so fast!
No problem man, good luck and enjoy the mods@
While I’m using some of the mods I have to play the game on window mode since it goes into a black screen after the intro movies and it still have some problems with like the cutscenes but I’ll find some mods to fix that
I will admit sometimes the FMV's will work, sometimes they won't. Its EXTREMELY finicky, so you can always skip them if needed, since there aren't any notable ones except the Kreia fall.
@@Kelphelp let’s not forget once I have installed the restored content after I watched one of the videos it would take me back to a black screen and this is on windows 10
@@grey790 if that's the case I say uninstall the game the reinstall. Launch the game and then if it works slowly add each mod. That way you can isolate the problem
@@Kelphelp that’s both steam and physical copy
@@grey790 same like i mentioned. Uninstall then reinstall. Load each mod and keep trying. Also I don't know if you tried but the FMV AI mod takes care of aloy
Do all of these work well with the community patch?
They should. For the most part
Any fix on the spinning camera issues D: ?
Spinning camera issue? Never heard of that one.
This could very well be a stupid question and I have no idea if it will be answered or not, but relating to the iOS/android versions of the game, is the lost content mod still needed or is it actually there? I was planning to play iOS version but I wanted to know if that was a thing first
Naw you good man. Fraid to say for the content it might be a different beast. I don't know how it is but it for sure haven't seen it visible on iOS
@@Kelphelp all good man, thanks for the insight though, really appreciated and (not sure how often you hear it) but have a good day too
i installed kotor 2 but before launching gotta get these mods
Changes the way you play completely. Highly recommended man
Is this in the order of installation? Does this matter?
It is. I structured the video to have this load order. Just install it one at a time and troubleshoot to be sure and you should be fine
Why are the clips you show of "better gameplay" super glitchy?
My fault during recording. OBS didn't wanna cooperate
I just got a hp gaming laptop I'm surprised it runs swtor super smooth it's a windows 10 2020 4gb 500 gb hard drive things came away from 2013 when I use to play interactive slide shows
Naw don't even worry. I played this on an Asus Zenbook with an integrated GPU and ran it great at 60. You be surprised how simple these games are to run
@@Kelphelp I have the first Kotor on my phone I got it before I got the laptop do you know anyway to mod it on Android at all?
Not that I know of. PC usually the way to go for modding. Not very practical on mobile
i wish i could just play the game i havnet made it out of the first area because it keeps crashing and deleting my saves tryed playing threw it 3 times now just about to give up on it
KOTOR 2 can be tough to run and isn't 100% successful. I don't blame you tbh
@@Kelphelp ya i loved the first KOTOR growing up and was hoping to play this one threw but boy its super rough to get to play I've tried messing with settings and changing files and nothing
If ya need help feel free to come on the support channel of the discord. Sure that we can help ya there if needed
I'm playing my kotor on steam on a 4k tv and the font size is too small does anyone know a mod on the steam workshop that addresses this problem
Oh damn 4K man that might be tough. I don't know how to help you from there due to the resolution nature. Haven't found a font size option
@@Kelphelp is there anyway to upscale it even in 1080p or 720p
@@sauly.32 Not natively from what I know. When I play it in 2560x1080 the font is scaled differently to fit the resolution. The size I don't think has changed. I have noticed some differences between the Physical & steam versions but not much. I wish I knew some font mods tbh 😣
@@Kelphelp I don't think there is any dude but thanks for the mod list, I used it and it's good besides the lightsaber mod wasn't available on the workshop, but the font issue is one alot of people have and I guess a problem in the coding prevented people from scaling the font, hopefully they'll add a mod to the workshop.
@@sauly.32 It's for sure a coding thing, but something a mod can't fix either. I hope someone can make one in the future. Thanks again for watching man I greatly appreciate it!
Is there's a mod that you can go to new game but you progress is still there
Naw not that I know of. Sounds like lot to ask though.
NG+ mod would've been great like dark souls 2 adding new enemies or quests and new +1 +2 +3 items
Does the Ultimate Character Overhaul mod compatible with mobile version?
I'm pretty sure no. Those are pretty different in general.
@@Kelphelp i see..no wonder it never worked when i tried to put the mod. Well thanks for your reply sir, much appreciated 👍
No problem man glad to help!
Man, the game just looks like it's chugging when you show us gameplay.
Yea that's my fault on my part. Wasn't the best recording. I don't know why OBS hates KOTOR 2 recording so much
Which microphone is he using?
I'm using the Audio Technica AT2035!
For the PC edition CD ROM that is is it possible to make it so that Brianna than made travels with you if you’re a girl??
Ugh lowkey this would be amazing considering Mical is...SUCH AN ANNOYING CHARACTER but alas, doesn't seem to be the case. So essentially,
Male: Brianna
Female: Mical ;-;
Go to the KOTOR reddit
@@darrellmurray4928 you got the mod name?
@@Kelphelp Party Swap. It's on the megathread.
@@darrellmurray4928 good lookin out man. I'll give it a looksie!
Does the Steam download also have any/all restored content in it?
Not at all. You have ti get that outside or the regular download via workshop
@@Kelphelp THX; I wondered about that since I've been considering to get another laptop for gaming despite having finished both KOTOR gam3s as of last night (Nintendo Switch downloads). Still, it is unfortunate to go through many hoops to get the best KOTOR experience since there's still so much more to be done
I feel that man, it never is easy setting it up but worth it in the end. You gonna have the time of your life
@@Kelphelp No doubt considering two things:
1. I was told that Steam is compatible with laptops as long as said laptop is for gaming
2. It's not the destination, but the journey
Bruh steam compatible with WinXP comps, should be fine with laptops. Mine is an integrated GPU and low powered there and runs steam fine. Depends on the rig but most devices run steam nicely
Ultimate Sabre Mod and TSLRMC are NOT compatible.
Idk what to say but worked for me and I had both installed
@@Kelphelp Haven't tried both together it's just what it says on the mod page for Ultimate Sabre Mod. Was not supposed to be a critique just an info for anyone installing these mods. Thanks for your video.
It is also listed as incompatible on the TSLRCM's page.
So is the recipe supposed to be male or female canonically
Female
Yess. Meetra Surik is supposed to be a devoted Jedi to Revan
nice mic
UwU
DONT USE THE STEAM WORKSHOP (If you want to use more than one mod at the same time). It will lead to issues.
What issues have you specifically had?
I haven't had a single issue
Why does your game look like it’s lagging ?
My fault on that, the captures didn't come out perfect tbh
@@Kelphelp ahhh, I thought the game was laggy because of the mods lol
Naw it Def was OBS. I don't remember why but the captures specifically for KOTOR 2 was difficult due to how the program works. Had alot of trouble getting it to work
So basically buy the steam version even if you have the PC physical lol
I actually did recently try the physical version and while the steam is much easier you CAN get most if not all the mods to work properly. Even the wide and ultrawide ones
@@Kelphelp yeah but spending the $9.99 i’de say is worth the time save.
Won't disagree with that. Game goes constantly for 2 or 3 bucks so should be easy to get s discount. Choice is yours but whatever you do is a good choice in that regard
they cancelled kotor 3😔😔
Don't remind me I wanna cry just thinking about thattttt
ryzen lol
😐 okay
@@Kelphelp sorry I was buzzed and being a hater for no good reason😞
Haha it Def sounded like it
was hoping for real mods not just texture upgrades
Then what are "reals mods?"
@@Kelphelp
new classes, abilities, armors, weapons, items that kinda stuff
Not too much of that. That changes alot of the fundamentals of the game and that's not my aim with these guides. QoL is my main goal here
