It always struck me as odd that there were only male Mandalorians in Knights of the Old Republic. Of course from the perspective of a game developer, they only had to make one model for every Mandalorian in the game so I really shouldn’t be surprised, but even so there have to be female Mandalorians. I decided it was an issue that needed to be rectified.
By using Taina’s Replacer I was able to modify the existing Mandalorian body slightly to make it more feminine. It’s not perfect, but given the modding limitations of making new models I believe it’s a respectable attempt. It also includes a modified soundset so you don’t hear a man grunting when your lady Mando is off doing battle. This model is designed to me more of a resource to other modders than a modification in and of itself. It modifies a few files to place a small number of female Mandalorians on Dantooine, so I strongly recommend that if you want to simply use it for personal use to change models with the KotOR Savegame Editor (KSE).

1. INTRODUCTION
Mandalorians -- or neo-crusaders as they're popularly known as in this particular game -- are one of the staples of Star Wars lore. Whenever you want to find a 'cool' villain, it's always a Mandalorian... unless it's a dark Jedi, but that's another story. It's rarely pointed out that most of the non-human enemies/NPCs in the game -- Mandalorians, Bith, Ithorians, Rodians -- are all male! Only a few lucky groups get females, the Tusken Raiders and Wookiees first coming to mind. But of course we all know that if Mandalorians want their legacy to go on there must be women somewhere! So someone said "hey, how about a female Mandalorian?" So I did it.
2. DESCRIPTION
This mod, to be very straightforward, adds female Mandalorians to the game. This is an edit of the original Mandalorian model using Taina's Replacer, so I did my best to feminize the model. It still has a few masculine traits which I did not 'soften up' purposely (even female warriors would be tough as nails... plus Mandalorian gear is heavy armor!). On the whole the model is slimmer and less masculine, although obviously still fit and ready for a fight. It also uses a customized sound set (a mix of default soundsets with a filter over the audio to make it sound like the male Mandalorian).
For kicks I also changed a few of the UTCs on Dantooine to now display the female Mandalorian instead of the male, in case you wanted to see it without using the savegame editor. I'm hoping beyond hope that none of the ones I change ever have anything to say... :p In any case I've also included an unused UTC (n_mandalorianf.utc) kind of as a modder's resource in case someone wants to put these in a custom are for whatever reason.
3. INSTALLATION
This mod uses the TSLPatcher for easy installation. Simply extract the contents of the compressed archive to anywhere on your hard drive, then double click "TSLPatcher.exe" to run the installation. Do not try to install by hand -- it won't work.
4. DISTRIBUTION AND USAGE
This mod may not be distributed to another site without my express permission. The contents may also not be altered or redistributed (in whole or in part) without my express consent. If I become unreachable for whatever reason, you must make reasonable efforts to contact me before altering my work. This is the only case I will allow it to be altered/distributed without my consent.
5. CREDITS AND THANKS
Thanks to the several folks on LucasForums (Holowan Labs section) for suggesting this idea. I needed some cannon fodder. Also thanks to stoffe for use of the TSLPatcher utility as well as the SSF Editor. Thanks to tk102 for the KotOR Savegame Editor (KSE) which I used during testing of this mod. Also thanks to Fred Tetra for KotOR Tool. And hopefully last but not least, thanks to Taina and cchargin for Taina's Replacer and MDLOps, respectively, without which the model could not have come to be.
