Hello everyone who replied (and fast at that... this forum is incredibly supportive and helpful! Thanks). I have pinpointed the problem, and it was something suggested below by Dark_Ansem (awesome reference in the name, btw). I didn't have net access to even check all of your posts until just now, so I discovered it while playing around with things myself.

I re-checked the manual for PRC, and noticed the 4 requirements, one being the PRC Character Creator. Now, I had grabbed this as just a great and diverse tool. I did not realize that the PRC would cause a problem with the in-game character creator. The only tip off was that it was a requirement (thought I still have yet to see anything about the PRC rendering the in-game character creator non-working).


I loaded my saved game, and low-and-behold, it loaded without a hitch. I started a new game, selected to use a pre-made character, selected my already created character, and again, working.

Bottom line, issue is fully resolved, and I can fully enjoy everything.

Thanks again for everyone's help. You guys are awesome for helping a noob to this game (noob to NWN, not computers. Figured that needed clarification).

Now, on to gaming!

Hello. I am new to this forum, as well as to Neverwinter nights (just started playing the other day). I found that there are a great many modifications to this game, and I was thrilled. As an old school D&Der (pen and paper), this game was something I could really get into.

On with the issues... I found the PRC 3.5 self installer. I ran it, rand the module updater (both the PRC insertion and the fixes). When I load a new game, it takes a while to load the modules (understandable with the massive amount of information that needs to load). I can create a character no problem. However, as soon as I click Play, the game locks up. It does nothing. The mouse can still move, but the game never loads. When I try to click something, the whole game shuts down, giving me that awesome little error window "Neverwinter Nights has encountered an error and will close. You can't play. It doesn't like you" (I am, of course, paraphrasing, but you get the idea).

I do not get this problem before I install the PRC. I backed everything up, so I could restore it without worry. But, I would like to use all the amazing improvements this mod would allow for.

Any help in getting this to work would be helpful. My basic specs are: Vista, Home edition, 32 bit, Neverwinter Nights Diamond Edition 1.69, SoU & HoU installed. (I tried loading the PRC into ALL modules. Didn't work on any of them).

Thanks in advance for taking the time to help someone new. Much appreciated.
