Star Wars™: KOTOR II Mobile TSLRCM Installation Guide

To install the Sith Lords Restored Content Mod (TSLRCM) on mobile in Star Wars™: KOTOR II without a computer, extract the mod archive's dlcmsp folder directly into your game installation's dlc directory using an on-device archive manager.

Preparation and File Access

Installing the mod directly on your mobile device requires roughly one gigabyte of free internal storage to accommodate the compressed archive and its extracted assets.

Because standard mobile file browsers often block access to application data folders, use an archive manager capable of reading and writing to isolated directories:

• Android: Download an archive manager such as ZArchiver or RAR from the Google Play Store. On Android 11 and newer versions, grant the app permission to access the Android/data directory tree when prompted via the system file picker by selecting "Use this folder."
• iOS / iPadOS: Use the default Files app. The application container for Star Wars™: KOTOR II is accessible under "On My iPhone" or "On My iPad" without requiring jailbreak access.

File Paths and Directory Setup

The mobile release looks for supplemental modifications inside a designated dlc folder. If this directory does not exist yet, you must manually create it inside the app's root storage path.

On Android, navigate to Android/data/com.aspyr.swkotorii/files/. If there is no dlc folder inside files, create a new folder named dlc using all lowercase letters. On iOS, locate the KOTOR II app directory in the Files app and ensure a dlc subfolder is present.

Step-by-Step Installation

Mobile TSLRCM releases are distributed as .zip or .7z archives rather than PC executable installers. Move the folder cleanly to ensure the game engine detects the modded files:

1. Open your archive manager and locate your downloaded mobile TSLRCM archive, typically stored in your device's Download folder.
2. Open or view the archive to reveal its internal directory structure.
3. Locate the primary mod folder named dlcmsp (which may be located inside a language folder such as mods_english).
4. Copy the entire dlcmsp folder containing the modded Override, Lips, and stream assets.
5. Navigate to your game's dlc directory (com.aspyr.swkotorii/files/dlc/ on Android or KOTOR II/dlc/ on iOS).
6. Paste the dlcmsp folder directly inside dlc.

The final directory structure must be .../files/dlc/dlcmsp/ (or .../KOTOR II/dlc/dlcmsp/). Do not paste loose files directly into dlc, and do not create nested duplicates like dlc/dlc/dlcmsp/, or the game engine will bypass the mod and launch the base game.

Verifying Activation and Starting a Playthrough

Launch Star Wars™: KOTOR II to confirm the mod is active:

• Verification signal: Check the main menu title screen. If the installation was successful, the subtitle beneath the main game logo will read "The Sith Lords Restored Content Modification" alongside the installed mod version number.
• Failure signal: If the standard unmodded title graphic displays, force-stop the game application, open your file manager, and confirm that the dlcmsp folder is placed directly inside dlc with correct folder spelling.

Once the modified title screen appears, start a new game. Do not load save files created on an unmodded installation. Applying restored content scripts to pre-existing saves frequently breaks quest triggers, duplicates inventory items, and corrupts companion dialogue trees.

Troubleshooting

• Permission errors on Android: If Android/data appears empty or prevents pasting, ensure your file tool supports the Android Storage Access Framework. Authorize full directory access when prompted.
• Corrupted or missing files: If the archive fails to extract or throws an unexpected end-of-archive error, re-download the package over a stable Wi-Fi connection to replace truncated files.
• Missing dialogue or audio: Verify that the language of the installed TSLRCM package matches your base game installation. Using English mod archives on alternate language installations causes missing text and muted audio in restored scenes.
