This mod finally replaces BB8 and BB9 with some astromech droids and is Multiplayer safe. There is clipping and not much can be done with animations but the fact that I could pull this off should be good enough. Managed to edit the textures to have proper lights on the droids and similarly spent a lot of time matching up the flashlight. Got a ton of help from the modding community with sounds and screenshots and starcards. Took a break from my main mods to make this for the people so if you like it please give an endorsement, would be sweet to have a #1 mod. I do this for free and hate the patreons so any endorsements or follows on social media would be sick.If you want to follow me on social media it is as follows...

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 626 endorsements and over 17k downloads.
- Adds iconic droids with full custom audio and visuals, not just a reskin.
- Multiplayer safe, so you can flex R2 in online matches without worry.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2020, so it might not be compatible with the latest game patches.
- Replaces existing heroes, so you lose the original BB-8 and BB-9E appearances.
- Potential conflicts with other mods that alter BB-8 or BB-9E.
For Star Wars Battlefront II players who want to play as the iconic R2-D2 instead of BB-8. Also great for fans of the original trilogy who prefer classic droids. Skip if you're happy with the default BB units or want gameplay changes—this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to place the mod files in the correct game directory, typically the 'Mods' folder in your game installation.
- If you're using the Frosty Mod Manager, import the mod and launch the game through the manager to ensure it loads correctly.
