Returning to NWN2, looking for Community Patches. Not great at coding

I put that at the end bc while I do know my way around computers pretty well, I don't do any coding really and I am not familiar with the jargon of this modding community.

 

What I am hoping you guys can help with is to just point me in the right direction towards community improvements to the game itself rather than a new campaign.

 

I have looked on the nwnvault for a while now but I am pretty lost, I haven't played this game since it came out.

 

There have been some great work done with Vampire the masquerade bloodlines, and gothic 3 has had a community patch although that community is going under sadly. Is there a NWN2 equivalent?

There is a whole thread on add-ons and haks here. I recommend my own OC Makeover SOZ Edition (requires that you have both expansions as well the OC) which is available on the vault .  I also have fixes for some NWN2 blueprints and the Nasher set. Many swear by Kaedrin's PrC pack if you want to experiment with more prestige classes.  Welcome to NWN2.

 

Regards

There is no all-inclusive beauty patch, unfortunately. Just make sure your installation is version 1.23 (shown on one of the opening screens, lower left corner) and I'd say use TonyK's Companion & Monster AI v.2.2 ( compmonai2.2.zip ).

other than that, while playing if you see something you don't like or could be improved, ask around and someone may have a pointer or two.

For head design improvement, I recommend this.

 

Now for some things of mine.  For improved text readability and general UI improvements, I recommend this and this, and perhaps this.  Also this is useful to better distinguish the spell scrolls.

There's no Unofficial Community Patch like the Elder Scrolls, Vampire the Masquerade, Temple of Elemental Evil or Baldur's Gate games unfortunately.

One reason for that is because after playing the campaigns, most people move on to modules (playing/making) or Persistent Worlds.
Whereas in the games I mentioned, the major focus is the campaign or main story.

The closest thing is Kaedrin's Pack which fixes and adds: spells, feats, classes, prestige classes, races etc. It doesn't fix anything in the campaigns though.
Many modules are made compatible with it though not all and most major PWs are using it. For good reason.

I would also recommend Tony K's AI. It improves the AI of both your companions and enemies making battles much more interesting and fun but within reason. It simply makes everything smarter, not increasing their HP or damage for example.

I would highly recommend Tchos UI mods. It changes the UI to make it better for higher resolutions, so you can see much more stuff at once on your screen instead of scrolling down all the time.

I would also recommend the Appearance Changer mod. It lets change your armor pieces on the spot so you can make your character look whatever you want almost.
No more those stupid Mithral Full Plates with the weird "wing" piece.
Your characters won't look like clowns anymore with purple masks, yellow cloaks, green armor and red boots.

If you dislike the overdone spell effects, there are mods that tone them down. Like Less Obtrusive Spell Buffs, I think it's called.

You can also download head and hair packs or Xaltar's Facelift Pack (link in the post above) to make the faces more beautiful and realistic.

That's more or less what I'm always using unless something is not compatible with a module or PW. Otherwise, you're good to go.
