 <p>No, I will not make a no-TSLRCM version of my mods that require TSLRCM to function. TSLRCM is widely agreed by players, including KotOR modders, to be an essential mod for the best experience with <cite>KotOR 2</cite>. Making a non-TSLRCM version of content mod like this would require me to spend extra time to replay <cite>KotOR 2</cite> without TSLRCM, and therefore subjecting myself to a lesser experience with the game, which I consider a massive waste of my time. In general, if you see any <cite>KotOR 2</cite> mod that requires TSLRCM to work (not just my mods), do not expect to see a non-TSLRCM version.</p>
 <p>If you are having issues with using TSLRCM, I suggest you report the bugs you encountered and ask for help for solving your issues on the <a href="https://deadlystream.com/forum/4-tslrcm/">TSLRCM forum on Deadly Stream</a>.</p>

+<p>Unfortunately, I cannot directly help with modding the <cite>KotOR</cite> games on macOS or Linux, because I have only played the games on Windows. However, the <cite>KotOR</cite> games can be modded on macOS or Linux.</p>

+<p>For macOS, you may refer to <a href="https://kotor.neocities.org/modding/mod_builds/macos">KOTOR Community Portal's guide for modding KotOR on macOS</a>.</p>
+<p>For Linux, KOTOR Community Portal's modding guide <a href="https://kotor.neocities.org/modding/mod_builds/k2/full#Linux_Players">recommends</a> installing mods on a case-insensitive file system, with VFAT recommended as an option by other users. Otherwise, you will need to rename a huge number of files. Additionally, the <a href="https://kotor.neocities.org/modding/mod_builds/faq">FAQ page of KOTOR Community Portal's modding guide</a> notes that:</p>
+<blockquote>
+<p>The Linux version on Steam (possibly also on GoG; this is unconfirmed) has two override folders, one in the main game directory and one in a &quot;steamassets&quot; folder. For the installation to function properly, all override files need to be placed into the override folder in this steamassets folder, and all executable installers need to be pointed to the steamassets folder as if it were the base installation directory.</p>

Simply copying and pasting files from my mod to your game's directory does NOT guarantee my mod will work as intended, and you may encounter bugs that could possibly game-breaking.</p>
 <p>For Android and iOS users, I suggest referring to the <a href="https://kotor.neocities.org/modding/">KotOR Community Portal's modding guide</a>, specifically their general instructions in their mobile mod builds. See <a href="https://kotor.neocities.org/modding/mod_builds/k1/full_mobile#General_Instructions">this page for <cite>KotOR 1</cite></a> and <a href="https://kotor.neocities.org/modding/mod_builds/k2/full_mobile#General_Instructions">this page for <cite>KotOR 2</cite></a>.</p>
 <p>For Nintendo Switch users, in order to mod the KotOR game on Switch, first you need to hack your Switch or install a modchip in your Switch, then use the <a href="https://deadlystream.com/files/file/2102-kotor-switch-modding-framework/">KotOR Switch Modding Framework</a> and <a href="https://deadlystream.com/files/file/2106-kotor-ii-switch-modding-framework/">KotOR II Switch Modding Framework</a> to install mods. According to JacqylFrost, the creator of these frameworks, both TSLRCM and my Handmaiden same-geneder romance mod work with the KotOR 2 version of the framework. I suggest you ask JacqylFrost directly if you need help with modding the KotOR games on Switch.</p>
 <p>For Steam Deck users, you may refer to JacqylFrost's <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/kotor/comments/10horqp/steam_deck_modding_including_modbuild/">Steam Deck modding guide</a> on the KotOR subreddit.</p>
