📋 About This Mod
The KOTOR Revisited Collection:

My main inspiration when creating these textures was the SWTOR game and The Clone Wars serie.
This mod DOES replace textures for:
- Architecture /Wrecks
- Vegetation
- Rakata NPCs and Rancors.
This mod DOES NOT replace textures for:
- The Republic ship interiors
- Skybox (using the great High Quality Skybox II is strongly recommended)
- The Ebon Hawk
- Textures are TGA 2048x2048 pixels (based on my experience there's no need to go highter in resolution in this game. 4K textures on old graphics games is just a waste of ressource to me). The total size is 1. 2gb on your HDD once installed.
- These textures add maximum details with minimum tilling effect. On a low poly game with no normal/bump maps, tilling REALLY IS your enemy.
- I used a soft cell shading style because in my opinion photorealistic textures on low poly meshes just look weird and not that great (but again this is my taste).
- Hi quality Reflection effects added to metallic objects like walls, wrecks,...
- On a vanilla unmodded game (if such thing still exist):
Extract the file and drop the Override folder in your game install folder. That's it.
- On an already modded game:
there's a high probability that you already have the same files than this mod in your Override folder. These files can be TGA or TPC (or both). So follow these steps:
1/ Extract the file and drop the Override folder in your game install folder. Overwrite existing files when asked.
2/ Download and use the Removes duplicate TGA/TPC tool (easy to use but make sure to read the description). When asked delete the TPC duplicates.
By doing this, you make sure there is no co

It replaces the original textures with custom, lore-friendly ones, avoiding AI upscaling. With 113 endorsements and 6,255 downloads, it's a niche but appreciated visual upgrade for KOTOR fans.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Hand-crafted textures give a unique, artisanal feel that AI upscales can't match.
- Lore-friendly approach means it won't break your immersion in the Star Wars universe.
- Solid community support with 113 endorsements and over 6k downloads.
⚠️ Cons
- Only covers Rakata Island, so the rest of the game remains untouched—you'll notice the contrast.
- Last updated in 2023, so it may not be compatible with newer mod setups or patches.
- As a visual-only mod, it doesn't add new content or fix bugs, so gameplay purists might skip it.
For KOTOR veterans who want to revisit Rakata Island with a fresh coat of paint without straying from the original vibe. Also for texture enthusiasts who appreciate hand-crafted work over AI upscaling. Skip if you're looking for gameplay overhauls or if you prefer a complete visual overhaul of the entire game.
💡 Beginner Tips
