Yes, all my mods are compatible with the KotOR subreddit's mod builds.
+Yes, all my mods are compatible with KotOR Community Portal's mod builds.
That said, some of my mods require you to install at a very specific point of the mod builds:
- Handmaiden and Female Exile - Disciple and Male Exile Romance should be installed after PartySwap. If you also want to install Extended Enclave, you should use the compatibility patch included in my Handmaiden/Disciple romance mod, instead of the standalone patch I made for the mod build. @@ -203,13 +203,13 @@

Sorry, I cannot help directly with modding the KotOR games on any console or mobile devices, because I only own the PC version of the KotOR games. I make no promises that I will port my KotOR mods for those platforms specifically either.
Some of my mods require TSLPatcher to install to make the mod work properly, especially if you also want to use other mods in addition to my mods and for 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 subreddit's wiki, specifically their general instructions in their mobile mod builds. See this page for KotOR 1 and this page for KotOR 2.
-For 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 and 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.

Starting from 11 July 2023, I, Leilukin, have officially taken over the management and development of DarthTyren's PartySwap mod for Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic: The Sith Lords.
- PartySwap is a mod that allows you to recruit both Handmaiden and Disciple as party members in a single playthrough regardless of the player character's gender. Since its release on May 21, 2015, PartySwap has been one of the most popular KotOR 2 mods, for very good reasons: it is an excellent mod from concept and execution on both story and technical standpoints. Even though PartySwap was not the first mod that allows a female player character to recruit Handmaiden as a party member, it was the first that actually makes both Handmaiden and Disciple join your party in the same playthrough, regardless of the player character's gender. It is a further testament to PartySwap's quality that it has been included in the KotOR subreddit's mod builds, which are known for high-standards for mod quality, and described by the mod builds as a legendary mod.

Developing and maintaining a highly regarded mod like PartySwap is no small task, as it requires both time and skill. At the end of the day, video game modding is a hobby, and generally modders create mods out of passion for and interest in the source material, and not for profit. Interests can change, especially when it is caused by real-life factors. Therefore, it is understandable that on 2 May 2023, nearly 8 years after the initial release of PartySwap, DarthTyren announced his intention of stepping away from KotOR modding and transferring the management of PartySwap in the mod's thread on the Deadly Stream forums:
