The Steam Version of KotOR and Mods

All mods can be easily installed by copying the relevant files into the override folder.

However, considering that most every KotOR mod was created before the Steam version's release, you should NEVER install a mod that involves a .2DK file, like Weapons of the Old Republic. Your game may begin having severe issues. You can delete the non-.2DK files mods that are causing the game trouble and still have compatible save files, but when deleted, .2DK mods will invalidate your saves, and you will have to waste numerous hours enabling cheats and wasting additional time on un-needed bugs and a consequently degenerating game.

Other mods without .2DK files are generally fine, and can be deleted if any issues arise, should issues crop up, without danger to your save games. Most small mods, such as "A Visual Kiss with Bastila," do not have .2DK files in them and are perfectly fine to install.

Special Instructions for Steam Version

Unfortunately, because the Steam version executable is encrypted, UniWS can not be used to modify the Steam version of the game directly. However, UniWS will work on a no-CD (cracked) executable of the original disc version of the game. This executable can in turn be used with the Steam version's content files to play the Steam version in widescreen.
Please be aware that using a cracked exe could be seen as a violation of Steam's Subscriber Agreement, and you accept full responsibility for whatever resulting consequences, if any. In practice however, Steam has generally allowed us to discuss the mod openly on their forums and there are other precedents where they've allowed (or knowingly overlooked) the use of alternate executables for modding purposes.

HUD Correction

Sweetz (old username: Stevedroid), with the help of Malakaius (who originally discovered the HUD files could be edited), has created adjusted HUD files for all working common widescreen resolutions as well as corrected 2D backgrounds for the menus. Many thanks to both of them, without whom this would not be possible.

1. Download the appropriate file for your selected resolution from the below links.

2. Unzip the files into the "Override" directory found under your main KOTOR installation directory.

Troubleshooting

First, please review the instructions carefully, making sure you didn't miss a step. We've found that 9 times out 10 when someone reports trouble getting the mod to work correctly, they made a small mistake or skipped a step.

How to install the disc version of Knights of the Old Republic on Windows Vista / 7

This will most likely get deleted but all I did was install the game normally then set the desktop shortcut to run as admin and update it. After that I could play on Windows 7.

This guide was taken from the LucasForums. It can also work for Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords. To avoid any potential problems this should be done with an administrator account.
