Personal KH1 Final Mix Mod Loadout

TOOLS:
KH ReFined v3.2 (later versions only update KH2, w/ the rest coming later): https://github.com/KH-ReFined/KH-ReFined/releases/tag/v3.20
KHPCPatcher: https://github.com/AntonioDePau/KHPCPatchManager/releases/latest
OpenKH: https://github.com/OpenKH/OpenKh/tags

For installation order, I did ReFined exe -> patches for KHPCPatcher -> the scripts and the one mod used for OpenKH. You will likely need 75-80GBs due to how much they take up storage space if you want to use *everything*. It is what it is...
If nothing else, you can at least use the Japanese Intro Music and Video Quality (https://www.nexusmods.com/kingdomheartsfinalmix/mods/109) no problem. Super simple fileswap process.

As for launching the game after setup is done, I just use OpenKH's mod manager tool (OpenKh.Tools.ModsManager.exe), then select Build & Run on first go, just to make sure everything's in order and all the mods/tools work as they should. Subsequently, I just use Run only since ya know it's all IN by then. For closing, since you're launching KH1 specifically and not the collection, you're going to have to use Alt+F4. I'm writing this all before the launch of the Steam release, so I imagine it's gonna be a FUCKTON smoother compared to all this!

MODS: Almost all of these are under the KHPCP formatting, with two exceptions (one of which was already mentioned prior).

KH1.5 Texture Downgrade: https://www.nexusmods.com/kingdomheartsfinalmix/mods/148

HD Textures: https://www.nexusmods.com/kingdomheartsfinalmix/mods/4
TWO VERY IMPORTANT NOTES
1) MAKE THIS THE SECOND MOD PATCHED IN, FOLLOWING THE TEXTURE DOWNGRADE. A couple of different texture inserts will follow that will be severely messed with if done before this one!
2) There have been reports of bugs and crashes when this is installed. I, personally, didn't experience much, if any at all, but if you are very adamant about not wanting a massive headache, perhaps skip this mod to save yourself the trouble.

Classic Soundtrack: https://www.nexusmods.com/kingdomheartsfinalmix/mods/9
This does require an additional program, available at https://github.com/Leinxad/KH1TrackSelector/releases. During creation, you can pick and choose whether a song uses the OG PS2 sound or the newly remastered one. Personally, I stuck w/ all classic.

Consistent Localization (KH1): So the recommended method is installing via OpenKH, but I'll leave a link to its Github (https://github.com/SuperfieldCU/ConsistentLocalizationKH1?tab=readme-ov-file#installation) and NexusMods (https://www.nexusmods.com/kingdomheartsfinalmix/mods/112) pages just in case. The latter has the KHPCP format, if you're curious about the differences.
