When you are asking for technical support, please provide details for the issues you encountered: when and how did your problem start happening and what mods you have installed. Simply saying "mod doesn't work" DOES NOT help the mod author to figure out the cause of your issue. When I ask you for more details, please answer my questions honestly, so I can identify how to solve your problems. Telling me ALL the mods you use will help me greatly in figuring out if your issue was caused by mod conflict or not.
If you play KotOR 2 on Steam, **make sure there are no leftover Steam Workshop folders in your Steam directory**, because Steam Workshop mods will likely conflict with my mods, and even unsubscribing Steam Workshop mods does not always remove all Workshop mod files completely. To check for any leftover Steam Workshop files, go to the Steam Workshop folder in your Steam directory (`/\Steam\SteamApps\Workshop\`), and delete all the sub-folders in the Steam Workshop folder if they are present.

### Does this mod work with [insert a different mod here]?
Please read the “Mod Compatibility” section of my mod description and Read Me files before asking. If there is a mod you want to use that was not mentioned in my mod description and Read Me files, you can still ask me. Just make sure you tell me the actual name of the mod and ideally, provide a link to the mod you want to ask about, so I can check the mod out myself to confirm if it is compatible with my mod. Do not expect me to know the existence of every single KotOR mod out there.

### Can I use your mods with non-English localizations of the {% cite "KotOR" %} games and The Sith Lords Restored Content Mod (TSLRCM)?
No. I play and mod the {% cite "KotOR" %} game in English exclusively. Some of my mods in particular will cause your game to crash if you are playing a non-English localization of the {% cite "KotOR" %} games and TSLRCM, because those mods add custom dialogues that do not exist in the vanilla game in order to prevent characters from referring to the player character as the wrong gender. The only solution to crashes caused by you playing on a non-English localization is to play the {% cite "KotOR" %} games and TSLRCM in English.

If you are interested in making a non-English translation or localization of my mods yourself, you may contact me to ask for my permission to do so.

### For your {% cite "KotOR 2" %} mods that require The Sith Lords Restored Content Mod (TSLRCM) to work, will you make an alternate version that does not require TSLRCM?
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" %}. Making a non-TSLRCM version of content mod like this would require me to spend extra time to replay {% cite "KotOR 2" %} 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" %} mod that requires TSLRCM to work (not just my mods), do not expect to see a non-TSLRCM version.

### How to install your mods on a console (Xbox/Nintendo Switch) or mobile (Android/iOS) version of {% cite "KotOR" %} or {% cite "KotOR 2" %}?
Sorry, **I cannot directly help with modding the {% cite "KotOR" %} games on any console or mobile devices, because I only own the PC version of the {% cite "KotOR" %} games**. I make no promises that I will port my KotOR mods for those platforms specifically either.

Some of my mods require installers, namely TSLPatcher or HoloPatcher, to make the mods work properly, especially if you want to use other mods in addition to my mods and for {% cite "KotOR 2" %}, The Sith Lords Restored Content Mod. 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.
For Android and iOS users, I suggest referring to the [KotOR Community Portal's modding guide](https://kotor.neocities.org/modding/), specifically their general instructions in their mobile mod builds. See [this page for {% cite "KotOR 1" %}](https://kotor.neocities.org/modding/mod_builds/k1/full_mobile#General_Instructions) and [this page for {% cite "KotOR 2" %}](https://kotor.neocities.org/modding/mod_builds/k2/full_mobile#General_Instructions).
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 [KotOR Switch Modding Framework](https://deadlystream.com/files/file/2102-kotor-switch-modding-framework/) and [KotOR II Switch Modding Framework](https://deadlystream.com/files/file/2106-kotor-ii-switch-modding-framework/) 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.
