It's 2025 and we never have any update for this mod, is it possible the author got in trouble by TT or something because of this mod? and most of the videos consist for this mod in YT all were posted like 3 years ago. Would there be any upcoming news consisting this mod?
you make the scripts folder yourself. Just right click in the directory where you put the hook files and name the new file you create scripts and place the files for this mod in there. :)
Edit: And make sure you have the updated scripthook files here on Nexus and that the Microsoft applications listed in the mod's description are installed on your pc as well or your game will auto crash. I did not make sure of these things my first go downloading the mods and it took me a good hour to figure out. Lol But once this is done, your game should be good to go! Ive got the mod down pat now so if you have any more questions, feel free to ask. (also, to use your character in game, press F4 to open the custom character select menu. this took me ages to figure out... XD )
I feel like this mod has been abandoned but Imma ask this anyways...
Is it possible to improve the mod to make it not crash when I am doing story missions? or to make it just not crash the game randomly? The mod works perfectly then just every now and then the game just crashes. Or when I change character with F4 it just stays as a black screen. I hope this comment is seen but I think its safe to assume the mod has been abandoned and has been for past couple years as they dont reply to bugs or comments and haven't updated since 2022
If you navigate menus too quickly this causes hickups. Give it a beat or two before you press the next button and the crashes should be less frequent. Trying to load two CC's at a time will cause the game to crash as well from what I've been testing. What I would try doing is lowering graphic settings to try and see if this helps you out at all. Trying to load the new menu, plus high end settings isn't something the game was built for originally. The added stress of new code could just be something that the community can't get around without doing something like a script extender like you see in skyrim or fallout. It's a shame they forced the community to jerry-rig a feature that has been a stapple in lego games for more than 15 years in one of their biggest lego games to date.. The only reasoning I can see behind it is that Disney wanted people to only play as their characters because the second you unlock custom characters in game those are your defaults. They didnt want their precious OC's to be overshadowed by your own. lmao That's a stretch but it's my headcannon with how disney is with their IPs and characters.
So, I can't seem to find the character in the list of characters... I choose my custom character on kamino and if i travel anywhere it duplicates someone in my party. idk if there's an extension to add your characters to the list in the holoprojector or what but I can't access my custom characters in any way other than choosing them on kamino..
Edit: Figured it out. Press F4... lol That took me longer than i like to admit...
Just if anyone is interested, this mod 100% still works if you follow all the instructions. Got it working today. The only thing you need to do was look for the Lego Star Wars script that was updated by jedijosh but posted by a different user at around Jan 2024. As of today i have had it working and I am using it to its full ability. Make sure you read the full discerption of the original Script hook post posted by jedijosh.... you have to have DirectX SDK and Visual Studio C++ Redistributable X64 ect.
Some things to note: - You have to be in free play for the "f" prompt to appear by the hologram (I was not originally, I was in the middle of the mission to find Jangos room and could not see the prompt)
- For those crashing on the travel to the cloning facility... I only crashed once and it was when I originally went back to see if the prompt would show up now that I was in free play. After reloading on the way too (the fast travel scene) the cloning facility i hit f4 to open the load character menu and this made it where I did not crash on my 2nd attempt.... so if your having trouble crashing on the way to the cloning facility its worth a try just opening the load character menu while on the way.
- if you fail to install DirectX SDK 2010, go to control panel and uninstall Visual Studio C++ Redistributable X64 2010 (as you might already have it) install DirectX SDK, then reinstall Visual Studio C++ Redistributable X64 2010 (you might need to uninstall and reinstall x64 and x86, just depends on your pc.... I think)
- Must have all the DLC's
But yea I figured id make a post bc I see a lot of the posts on here of people having issues or saying it does not work... when in reality they fail to do the things needed to get it to work. Regardless hopefully you get it working and happy customizing!
Confirming here that the updated script hook fixed it for me, got the link here for anyone who needs it https://www.nexusmods.com/legostarwarstheskywalkersaga/mods/216
No, it prevents my game from launching entirely even though I followed the install instructions
Edit: So I got the game to launch with the mod, but I could only use the blank white character pieces which leads me to believe it was an issue with script hook, trying to get it working again now that I'm not drained from holiday stuff.
So I messed up in my setup somewhere, download this version of the script hook, follow the install instructions for the original version, then install this mod as instructed https://www.nexusmods.com/legostarwarstheskywalkersaga/mods/216

Share your characters by uploading the character's saved .dat file in the "CharacterCustomization" folder to NexusMods or with your friends.
