Are there any RELATIVELY decent tutorials out there on creation of stuff using the modding tools for NWN:EE? I am totally new to this game and want to dedicate tons of hours to it. But do not know exactly where to begin. Any help would be appreciated!

There are a lot of tutorials. A quick "google" on "neverwinter nights toolset tutorial" will show you many.
There's also the question of what type of "modding" do you want to do?

Do you want to create adventures for others to play? A module (what is usually referred to as a "mod" in NWN) is made using the included NWN toolset.

Do you want to create brand new textures, 3d models, sounds, classes, spells, etc. (aka, a "mod" that adds to or changes anything in the game)? Those are going to be more work to learn to do, but there is a supportive community out there (many of us are at the Neverwinter Vault[neverwintervault.org]). Some of this stuff is easier to do, some is harder, but you can learn to do any of it. These are usually called "haks" or "overrides" in the NWN terms (haks add new content, overrides override existing game resources).

I did but not using the right terms I believe.

I just want to create new adventures. Are there resources out there that add more content for module creators?

There is two pages worth of NWN Tutorials on Neverwinter Vault - https://neverwintervault.org/article/tutorials

This tutorial is for builders and will help you get your feet wet -

The same website has a slew of fan made content you can make use of in your adventures.

Thanks!
I found NWN Lexicon an invaluable reference - personally I prefer the downloadable Windows Help file. It contains tutorials as well as good examples of most scripting commands, as well as pitfalls and nuances to be aware of. And full lists of Constants and Events too.

Knowing where to start is key. I'd recommend the Toolset Manual I and II plus the tutorials in the Lexicon, then dip in here[forum.neverwintervault.org] as required.

Going on all this I now need to know what I want to make lol, but thanks all!
