How to Install mods manually?

After you have downloaded the mod you wanted, open the .rar file with the latest version of www.win-rar.com – https://www.win-rar.com/download.html?&L=0 or www.7-zip.org – https://www.7-zip.org/download.html and extract the files in a new folder on your desktop.

Once the files are extracted in a new folder you have to check what kind of mod it is. Each mod have an installation guide or a readme.txt provided by the mod Author in the mod description. Read it to make sure how to install the mod you just downloaded.

Most of the times it will be a simple copy/paste of the files you have downloaded in your override folder located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Knights of the Old Republic II

But sometimes, inside the downloaded folder you will see tslpatchdata and TSLPatcher.exe. And when you launch TSLPatcher.exe it can either launch normally or open and somehow nothing seems to appears in your screen even though you can see the TSLPatcher.exe running in your taskbar. So let’s start fixing this 😀

TSLPatcher.exe not displaying FIX + Installation

‎‎‎‎‏‏‏‎ ‎
‏‏‎ ‎To fix TSLPatcher.exe not displaying on your screen you will have to –

  • Hover over the TSLPatcher.exe icon in your taskbar.

‏‏‎ ‎
To fix TSLPatcher.exe No valid game folder you will have to –

  • Create a Text file (.txt) in your Desktop
  • Copy paste 64bit or 32bit lines inside the text file

64bit Version

 Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\BioWare\SW\KOTOR] "Path"="X:\\YOUR_DIR\\HERE" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\LucasArts\KotOR2] "Path"="X:\\YOUR_DIR\\HERE"

  • Replace “X:\\YOUR_DIR\\HERE” with your game folder, here is an example for 64bit version
 Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\BioWare\SW\KOTOR] "Path"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Steam\\steamapps\\common\\swkotor" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\LucasArts\KotOR2] "Path"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Steam\\steamapps\\common\\Knights of the Old Republic II"

  • Now double click on the .REG file and press Yes to all.
  • Try the previous TSLPatcher.exe Instalation steps of this tutorial and see if it works now that you have a valid game directory.
  • If you still get the same error when you try to install TSLPatcher.exe It means that you messed up the file path. You will have to change the file extension of the text file from .REG to .TXT and edit your mistake and then change the file extension of the text file from .TXT to .REG again and retry until it works
  • I hope this tutorial helped you, If you have questions ask in the comments 😀
