DAT manager with StarWars Lego mod

[Mister-Curious]

Greetings. I recently used the DAT Manager to extract all the game files for Star Wars Lego Skywalker Saga. Game runs fine on the extracted files alone, except that none of the DLC characters are being read by the game. Is this a tool issue or a game issue?

Also, I noticed a significant slow down with loading the raw game files. Is there a way to repack the DAT files so the game reads things faster?
Thanks!
