Template:Infobox Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (series) Key Points

Commonly referred to as 'KOTOR 2' or 'TSL'.
Patching restored content and widescreen resolution patching is highly recommended for both retail and Steam versions.

KOTOR and TSL Save Game Editor (English Language Only) (3.3.3)

Also known as the 'KSE'.
Save game editor (cheat) works for both KOTOR 1 and 2.
The save game editor doesn't automatically detect the Steam version of KotOR2. Unless the author decides to update the utility, you will need to use 'regedit' to add the appropriate keys. The editor searches for a string value named 'Path' under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\LucasArts\KotOR2. This string should be located at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\LucasArts\KotOR2 in 64-bit versions of Windows.
