Are there any good mods out there? I know a couple sites that have a lot of them posted but I have a feeling a lot of them suck. I am also guessing they take a total of 30 minutes to play. Does anybody have recommendations?

I recommend the Penultima series. I am on the second mod (out of five). Funny and fun!
There is also a Pool of Radiance mod that clocks in at 20hrs gameplay according to the creator. I have dl'ed it, but not yet played.

Look for both biowares and nw vaults featured/reviewed mods on those respective sites.

Did you unzip the mod with winzip?

You didn't mention that step so I thought I'd ask.

edit: step by step.

Does the file you downloaded end with ".zip" If you have winzip, right click on the file you downloaded in your module folder and select "extract here". Winzip will do the rest. The file you want to see in your mod file ends with ".mod" If you don't have winzip or something similar (I use powerarchiverpro) do a web-search: key word zip.

make sure they are not .zip files, unzip them and leave the .mod file behind in the directory

thanks I think I unzipped them before I placed them in the folder but it wouldn't surprise me not to see a .mod there...thanks again I'll check it next,

Are you selecting NEW GAME when starting the module? If you choose anything else, it will not show up. Other than this, it's hard to say. Tell us step by step what you are trying to do and we can try and go from there. It sounds like you have it in the right directory though. Should be under NWN and then under modules. If there is a readme file, you might want to check that as well in case you have to do other features to access / use the mod. IE HAKs, etc.
