The first Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic video game introduced Juhani, the very first confirmed gay character in any Star Wars media, including Legends, the old Star Wars Expanded Universe, and the very first canon same-gender romance option in any BioWare game. However, the KotOR series at large has little LGBTQ+ content, and except for Juhani, none of the romance options in both KotOR games are available for same-gender romances.
Therefore, throughout the years, modders of the KotOR games have created various mods adding more same-gender romance options and content to the games to fill the void.
Below is a list of all the same-gender romance mods that had been created for the KotOR game series throughout KotORs modding history, sorted by their original release dates in chronological order.
Wanting to make your KotOR games more gay? Then this list is for you! This list also serves as an archive to document the history of same-gender romance mods for the KotOR series. Happy gayming!
NOTE: Some listed mods below have overlapping concepts and thus are not compatible with each other. Mods that are hosted exclusively on Gamefront are very old mods that were made in the 2000s, and thus may have compatibility issues with newer mods (not just ones that listed here).
**Warning: this list contains spoilers for both KotOR games.**

<span class="info-field">Installation Note:</span> If you want to use this mod with Bastila & Female Revan (Untold Love Story), you must install this mod AFTER Untold Love Story, and override the k\_hbas\_dialog.dlg file when prompted.

<span class="info-field">Mod Author:</span> forgetcanon
<span class="info-field">Original Release Date:</span> 20 July 2015
<span class="info-field">Download:</span>
- [Deadly Stream](https://deadlystream.com/files/file/577-bi-carth/)
- [Nexus Mods](https://www.nexusmods.com/kotor/mods/60)
<span class="info-field">Mod Description:</span> Allows Male Revan to romance Carth and flirt with certain male NPCs.
### Juhani Romance Enhancement
<span class="info-field">Mod Author:</span> Kexikus
<span class="info-field">Original Release Date:</span> 4 January 2016
<span class="info-field">Download:</span>
- [Deadly Stream](https://deadlystream.com/files/file/772-juhani-romance-enhancement/)
- [Nexus Mods](http://www.nexusmods.com/kotor/mods/73)
<span class="info-field">Mod Description:</span> Improves the final romance conversation with Juhani, including triggering the conversation automatically, provided the conditions for this conversation are met, as well as adding a kiss between Juhani and female Revan.
<span class="info-field">Note:</span> For details on how to successfully complete Juhanis romance, please check out my [Juhani Romance Guide](/shrines/starwarskotor/guides/kotor-juhani-romance-guide).
### JCs Romance Enhancement: Biromantic Bastila for K1
<span class="info-field">Mod Author:</span> JCarter426
<span class="info-field">Original Release Date:</span> 19 January 2020
<span class="info-field">Download:</span> [Deadly Stream](https://deadlystream.com/files/file/1548-jcs-romance-enhancement-biromantic-bastila-for-k1/)
<span class="info-field">Mod Description:</span> Another mod that allows female Revan to romance Bastila, but what makes this mod different is that it also further edits Bastilas dialogue so Bastila would not refer to female Revan as a man. This mod also fixes the bugs with Bastilas romance during the endgame.
### JC's Romance Enhancement: Pan-Galactic Flirting for K1
<span class="info-field">Mod Author:</span> JCarter426
<span class="info-field">Original Release Date:</span> 6 July 2022
<span class="info-field">Download:</span> [Deadly Stream](https://deadlystream.com/files/file/2115-jcs-romance-enhancement-pan-galactic-flirting-for-k1/)
<span class="info-field">Mod Description:</span> Allows the player to flirt with several NPCs regardless of gender.
<span class="info-field">Note:</span> This mod is essentially a modern and improved version of Bastila & Female Revan (Untold Love Story). What makes JCarter426s mod better is the fact that this mod uses an installer tool (TSLPatcher) to patch relevant dialogue files to improve compatibility with other mods, compared to Untold Love Story's installation method of putting dialogue files into the Override folder, which increases the chance of causing conflict with other mods.
### Carth Onasi and Male PC Romance
<span class="info-field">Mod Author:</span> Leilukin (me)
<span class="info-field">Original Release Date:</span> 6 August 2022
<span class="info-field">Download:</span>
- [Deadly Stream](https://deadlystream.com/files/file/2140-carth-onasi-and-male-pc-romance/)
- [Nexus Mods](https://www.nexusmods.com/kotor/mods/1493)
<span class="info-field">Mod Description:</span> Inspired by the aforementioned Bi Carth mod, this is my version of a male Revan and Carth romance mod. The biggest differences between my version and forgetcanons are that my mod is installed by patching relevant dialogue files, instead of putting modified dialogue files in the Override folder, and I have also edited Carths dialogue and spliced audio files to prevent Carth from referring to male Revan as a woman.
## For Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords
### Worthy of Note:
Stoffes [Handmaiden Choice for Females](https://www.gamefront.com/files/handmaiden-choice-for-females/) mod (originally released on 23 April 2005), which was the first mod ever made that allowed female Exiles to recruit Handmaiden as a party member, could technically be considered a same-gender romance mod, due to the fact that with this mod, female Exiles would also be able to romance Handmaiden by having her as a party member.
In addition, since Handmaiden replaces Disciples place on the Ebon Hawk crew in this mod, this mod also allows female Exiles to get the Visas romance scene after the Rebuilt Jedi Enclave sequence.
That being said, these are all side effects of Handmaiden being exclusive to male Exiles in the vanilla game. Handmaiden Choice for Females was not intentionally made with same-gender romances in mind.
Hassat Hunter had remade the mod into [Handmaiden 4 Females - Disciple for Males](https://www.moddb.com/mods/the-sith-lords-restored-content-mod-tslrcm/addons/handmaiden-4-females-disciple-4-males-183) (originally released on 14 March 2014) to be compatible with The Sith Lords Restored Content Mod (TSLRCM). However, the mod is outdated and no longer supported.
### Alternate Revan Romances
<span class="info-field">Mod Author:</span> felixfelicitas
<span class="info-field">Original Release Date:</span> 9 March 2015
<span class="info-field">Download:</span>

- [Nexus Mods](http://www.nexusmods.com/kotor2/mods/43)
<span class="info-field">Mod Description:</span> Allows players to set Revans love interest(s), instead of letting the game assume male Revan is romantically involved with Bastila, while female Revan is romantically involved with Carth. Most notably, with this mod, Bastila can be chosen as female Revans love interest, and Carth can be chosen as male Revans love interest.
<span class="info-field">Required Mod:</span> [The Sith Lords Restored Content Mod (TSLRCM)](https://deadlystream.com/files/file/578-tsl-restored-content-mod/)
**WARNING:** This mod is outdated, and it has game-breaking bugs. Use my REDUX version of the mod below instead. I am listing the original mod here for historical record purpose.

<pan class="info-field">Mod Description:</pan> In addition to allowing Handmaiden to join a female Exiles party and allowing Disciple to join a male Exiles party, this mod also makes Handmaiden a romance option for a female Exile, and Disciple for a male Exile.
