A new way to experience KotOR II, The Sith Lords Massive Improvement Mod will reskin nearly the entire game, including characters, modules, dark side transitions, and 8000 pixel wide skyboxes. In addition, new visual effects, lightsaber hilts, menus, sound effects, and HUD are planned. Nearly every texture will be resized at least twice its original size, and most commoners will now have unique appearances. It is scheduled to be released in Summer, 2009.

The reason for the lack of updates lately, to be honest, is that I hadn't actually done anything for quite a while. About a month. I know it's a bad excuse, but I just didn't "feel like it", and I've been busy with several other Star Wars projects, including a Knights of the Old Republic fanfilm titled Revelation - which is not done in the ordinary game-capture way. But this week I decided to just put my focus for now on this mod.
There's some new major plans as well. I'll be having new cinematics in the game, such as for the Devastation of Katarr and Atton's past as an assassin. I'll be using a combination of differenet elements for these, not just game captures. In the deleted Nihilus vs. Sion scene, for example, you will see bolts of lightning shooting through Sion when Nihilus sends Force lightning towards him as you saw happen to Mace Windu in Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. Not done through the game engine.
I have also set up a Livestream channel to have news, previews, live gameplay, and live modding for TSLMIM. Any previews and trailers will appear there for the first time. Expect a new video update soon.
Finally, do not expect the mod to be released until after a trailer is uploaded (to clarify, not just a preview, a trailer).

ive given up on this mod now, first release dat was august.
Due you have a date for when the mod while be completed or when a beta while be avalible?
Sorry, no. I've been trying to get help with this for a while now but no luck yet.
sexplosion! looks awesome!
god i really hope this comes out soon. im so impatient haha. I think you should keep us updated all the time, write something on here everytime you do something new to the mod. Because thats why most people think it has died, because the lack of updates,
good luck!
i want kotor 2 but i have heard that it does not work for vista is this true? and is installing mods on kotor 1 the same eaw?
There's a patch that you can easily download to get it to work for Vista; just Google it and it will come up. Not completely sure if installing mods is the same for it, but I assume it is. One of my family members actually just got Vista yesterday which will hopefully be better for recording TSLMIM videos with. The computer I've been working with to make this mod is about six years old...
*Whew*
Thank god for the update mate :D
Died???? First "release date" was 15 July and now is September
i sent a message to the person creating it and he said hopefully by fall, so im guessing any day now.
