Where Are The Mod Files?

NWN1

Official Campaign files are named with .NWM extension, and are found in the special Game Directory\nwm\ folder.

Any new or downloaded .MOD files should be stored in: Game Directory\modules\. This ensures the integrity of the OC files. As an extra precaution, the Aurora Toolset will refuse to open any .NWM file.

However, should you really want to "peek into" the .NWM files and learn how Bioware developers made the Official Campaign, you can copy the NWM files into the "modules" folder, and then rename the .NWM extension as .MOD.

Guess what? The .NWM files are, afterall, just a .MOD file. You should not have any problem opening them with the Aurora Toolset now.


NWN2

In NWN2, there are two directories for game modules may be found:

  1. The first one is the NWN2 main game directory at: Game Directory\modules\. This directory contains the official game (modules). [Note: You should leave the main game directory alone, and not add any files to it.]



  2. The second directory is found in the "My Documents" folder: My Documents\Neverwinter Nights 2\modules\. You should use this directory as the "HOME" directory for all non-official mods (including those you create, and those you downloaded.



Note: You can find other modders/players created mods from mod community such as the NWVault, and the soon-to-be available "NWN2 Module Exchange" by Atari.
