Where Does KOTOR Store Mods?
KOTOR mods drop as loose files into an Override folder in the game directory. Two decades of mods, zero managers required.
Last updated
KOTOR modding predates managers entirely: an Override folder in the game directory takes loose model, texture, and script files, loaded automatically at startup. The Restored Content Mod plusFormulario recruits, robes, and upscales fill a scene old enough to have traditions.
Load order is alphabetical by filename within Override, which mod readmes exploit with prefix conventions. Conflicts resolve last file wins, so install order is the load order. Keep the original files backed up before overwriting, since Steam verification restores stock only by redownloading.
Where Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic stores this, by platform
[Steam]\steamapps\common\Knights of the Old Republic\Override
Loose mod files directly here, read flat at startup. Install order sets precedence alphabetically. Back up originals before overwriting.
Frequently asked questions
The mod files are in place but nothing changes. Why?
Confirm files sit directly in Override and not in an extra subfolder from extraction. Double nested folders never register. The game reads Override flat, so structure beyond it is invisible.
Should I install the Restored Content Mod?
Yes for the Restored Content Mod, which belongs first in every install order. It touches the same files as many small mods, so install it first and let others overwrite deliberately.
