Secret level

Instructions

Texture/model enhancement

Mysteries of the Sith Enhanced replaces many models and textures with more detailed ones. Requires the Unofficial Patch.
Instructions
LOD Mod prevents NPCs and textures being scaled down in quality as you move away, which is very noticeable when playing in high resolutions. This is recommended regardless of whether you're using the above graphics mod.
Instructions

Notes

This mod requires that you start a new game and prevents old save games from being loaded, as it replaces all of the level files.

HUD/GUI mod

The normal HUD is too small at high resolutions. The JK HUD revamp mod replaces the default GUI and HUD elements with larger, higher resolution alternatives.
jkhud.zip affects the health and ammo readouts, and jkgui.zip the force power and item icons.

Minimum Recommended
Operating system (OS) 95
Processor (CPU) Intel Pentium 90 MHz
