A KNIGHTS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC II: THE SITH LORDS MODIFICATION




AUTHOR: Leilukin
FILE NAME: Darth Sion and Male Exile Mod.7z
LATEST VERSION: 1.3
CONTACT: E-mail to [email protected], or message to Leilukin on Deadly Stream


PLEASE READ THROUGH THE MOD INFO ON THIS PAGE AND THE FAQ ARTICLE FOR MY KOTOR 2 SAME-GENDER ROMANCE MODS BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS!



1. DESCRIPTION:
If you have played through KotOR II: TSL with a female Exile, you may remember that Darth Sion, one of the main villains of the game, practically falls in love, albeit in a rather creepy way, with the female Exile as he becomes attached to her throughout the course of the game, and he expresses such feelings to the female Exile during the Exile's final confrontation with him on Malachor.

What if Sion could develop such feelings to a male Exile as well? That's where the development of this Darth Sion and Male Exile Mod came from.

What this mod does is to make changes to the gender checks of Sion's dialogue, so Sion can also develop the same attachment to a male Exile. If you're interested to see how a same-gender version of Sion's affection for the Exile played out, then this mod is for you.

Please note that this mod is ONLY COMPATIBLE WITH THE ENGLISH LOCALIZATION OF TSL AND TSLRCM. I do not provide support for non-English localizations of TSL and TSLRCM.



2. INSTALLATION:
First and foremost, make sure you have The Sith Lords Restored Content Mod (TSLRCM) installed since TSLRCM is REQUIRED for this mod to work.

!!ATTENTION!! STEAM USERS: If you play KotOR 2 on Steam, DO NOT USE THE STEAM WORKSHOP VERSION OF TSLRCM if you want to use this mod! Instead, use the installer (.exe) version of TSLRCM, which can be downloaded from Deadly Stream here:
https://deadlystream.com/files/file/578-tsl-restored-content-mod/

I recommend reading this Deadly Stream post on why Steam Workshop is NOT recommended for modding KotOR 2:
https://deadlystream.com/topic/7321-why-not-to-use-the-steam-workshop/


Extract the Darth Sion and Male Exile Mod.7z you downloaded to anywhere you like, as long as it is not within the KotOR 2 directory. Run Install.exe. You will notice that this mod provides four installation options. You may only choose ONE of these options:

  • Version A: This option will make Darth Sion express interest in both male and female Exiles.
  • Version B: This option will make Darth Sion express interest in male Exiles only, and Sion will interact with female Exiles the same way he did with male Exiles in vanilla TSL.
  • Version A + M4-78EP Compatible: Choose this option if you have M4-78 Enhancement Project (M4-78EP) installed and you want to use Version A of my mod.
  • Version B + M4-78EP Compatible: Choose this option if you have M4-78 Enhancement Project (M4-78EP) installed and you want to use Version B of my mod.

Once you have chosen the installation option you want, and select your KotOR 2 game folder as your KotOR 2 directory path, click the “Install” button and let the installer do its job.

When you install this mod, two new folders named "backup" and “uninstall” will be created by the installer in the same folder as the installer. Do not delete the folders or any of the files within the folder if you are planning on uninstalling this mod.



3. UNINSTALLATION:
Open Install.exe and select your KotOR 2 directory where you installed this mod. From the “Tools” dropdown menu, select “Uninstall Mod / Restore Backup”, then confirm to uninstall the mod. You can also choose to delete the backup after uninstalling the mod.



4. KNOWN ISSUES:
None currently known. If you find any bugs or problems, please let me know.



5. MOD COMPATIBILITY:
Apart from The Sith Lords Restored Content Mod (TSLRCM), which is required for this mod to work, any other mods that modify Sion's dialogue will likely conflict with this mod. I have set up the installer to install this mod by patching the relevant dialogue files to improve compatibility with other content mods as much as possible, but it is still not guaranteed to be compatible with every other mods that modify the same files.

If you have installed M4-78 Enhancement Project (M4-78EP), you must choose one of the “M4-78EP Compatible” option when you install my mod.

This mod is fully compatible with my Lonna Vash Mod for TSLRCM.

This mod is fully compatible with Extended Enclave, since Extended Enclave does not edit the same Sion dialogue as this mod does.

This mod is not compatible with Kaidon Jorn's Schematic Lightsaber Mod.



6. PERMISSION:
You may modify this mod for personal use or show this mod in screenshots. However, do not release your mods containing assets from my mod without my permission.

I do not use nor support Steam Workshop, so I do not want any of my mods to be uploaded to Steam Workshop.
