This HAK`s based on Oblivion textures and inspiration in their models (some models overtaken). I would like to create a large and a bit realistic city but whatever I did, it was not possible with the NWN2 models, so I decided to create custom placeable HAK for this purpose.
I`ll continue in HAK creating hand by hand with AreaPrefabs. The first part of the city called "Craftsman Quarter" you can find in here: Prefab AREA - DOWNLOAD

Another essential I forgot to vote on? One of my favourite haks ever, excessively used in my PW project. Not a full ten because of some performance issues mentioned below, and I wouldn't mind an update personally. Other than that, amazing stuff. _________________________ Middleforest - An upcoming NWN2 PW Skins for all races

This hak is certainly one of the best for building that I have used. In some way, I always manage to use a part of this hak in almost any area I do.
The only thing that keeps it from hitting a 10.00 is that too much usage tends to drop framerates to an unacceptable level. Still, the sheer amount of content this hak provides outweighs any small negative it may have.
I highly recommend this! _________________________ Co-founder of the Persistent World The Sea of Dragons

I guess I'll have to leave this mod alone. I followed your instructions, attempted extracting via 7-zip. And it simply won't identify the files as anything the program will open.
Posted by keldae at 2009-09-13 15:32:44 Voted 1.00 on 09/13/09
I'm not sure why, but I'm having some zip file issues. I have the appropriate 7-zip program for the files. It's just not cooperating with me.
I would give a vote, but I can't even seem to access the files at the moment.

Hi, I've been working with this amazing hak, but I encountered one problem I cant fix because I don't have any 3d modeling tools or skills. I'm hoping you have the time to help me out.
One of your models, plc_bc_houseupper08 is missing the texture SkingradWall03. If you could provide me with a fixed model, or the texture I would really appreciate as I want to use every single wonderful thing you have included in this hak. Thanks so much -
Would it be possible to get the .2da file to make the placeables compatible with SOZ?

I have been building and re-building a city area for a mod, constantly dissatisfied with what I'd come up with. And now I've just found this and been looking at each placeable, actually saying 'wow' out loud over and over again. I know already that this next time building the city will be the last.
Many thanks

My god this hak is awesome. A perfect 10! The placeables fit my module's fantasy setting a lot better than the original placeables.
Just that... It seems that with SoZ installed, this hak disables me from using the NX2 placeables. I've been playing around the .2da files today and I've reached as far as I can get with my skills and knowledge. All the custom placeables work, but most of the NX2 placeables won't work. Some do though.
Thus I'll have to take away 0.25 from the final score (: If this hack will ever receive a fix for SoZ, I'll gladly give it a full 10. _________________________ Link Crystals of The Lost Developement Blog
Great hak, but no, all of the (X2) marked placeables don't seem to be placeable with this installed. Could someone do us the favor of update this to make it compatible?
Is it compatible with SoZ 1.21? _________________________ ::RAWR::

Great hak but one of the placeables causes toolset lag. This one.

And I wonder if there could be a version of dawning bridge that can open and close. Would be awesome.
Thanks for the work. _________________________ Ja khaless zhah waela !

Cow King has a link to RAR format version of the hak, if you browse the comments down a bit. Reasons for the format can be found in the comments as well. Basically its due to the fact that z7 compresses better, although putting it to pieces perhaps wasn't the best choise.

How the hell am I supposed to open this?
And how the hell did he get into the HoF with such a poker-joker format?

I think main problem people had was 7z divided in 3 parts, it takes a bit to figure how to combine divided 7z into one due to the interface of the thing.
However where is Tupoun, "coming soon" pictures were interesting...
Looks good so far, downloading and checking out for inclusion into Khali.
Cowking - 7z opens both rar files and 7z files, and actually seems to compress better than winrar does for this content -- this is why it's getting used increasingly on vault uploads. _________________________ The Grinning Fool The World of Khalidine, a unique RP PW.

Finally got it open -- Love it! Can't wait to see textures and buildings like those found in Balmora. Would have given you a 10 if this hak played nice with the RWS all in one hak. As it stands I can only use one or the other.

Hello there Tupoun. I truly hope you are still around and busier than ever. This .hak has been an immense help to many a project and the fact that you always find something viable to add in makes it the one place for all your city-building ideas to come true. I was wondering what made you go with the three-parted file than one whole 30 Mb-50 Mb file?

This looks absolutely fantastic and i cant wait to use it, but thats the problem, i CANT use it! Here is the problem, whenever i try to put the hak with the module it says its in the wrong folder even though its in the right one. Then i ok this and it accepts this, but when i try to load it up it crashes. Also some of the files wouldnt extract properly and i have no idea why, since i am using 7zip. Can someone please help me with this?
