Neverwinter Nights Downloads
his page is dedicated to the custom content I created for the CRPG Neverwinter Nights, before joining BioWare 1) to work on the official Expansion Packs as a Designer 2).
Almost every piece of content on this page is 'plug and play', meaning simply importing the package into your module is usually enough to use it's content in your game, no expert scripting knowledge required.
Importing Custom Content
Importing custom content into a module is easy, but if you are not familiar with the process, please see my page on how_to_install_custom_content for details on how to import .erf files into your module.
The short version:
Use 'File → Import' in the toolset menu.
Content Packs
ontent packs combine interactive objects, NPCs or scripted systems into a single, easy to install .erf package, ready to be imported and used in a module. Most of these packages come with easy to understand installation instructions and usually do not require knowledge of the scripting language by the user.

All effects are by default attached to invisible objects but some look damn nice when you change the appearance of the invisible object (i.e. an overgrown wagon if you change the appearance of the tanglevine object to 'wagon'). |  |
