To your question, simply renaming a file to *.rim won't work...

I believe .rim files are packed with a program somehow, and you would need to repack the extracted games .rim file, with your new additions, with that program.

As far as spawning NPC's you could just create the npc .utc files and scripts to do so, and attach the script call to NPC .dlg files in the area of the game you want them to spawn, that way you don't have to alter any .rim or .mod files.

Kotor tool : open file menu, select erf builder. Add the files you want and then save as a .mod file. You could have read Doom Dealer's Guide to new area creation: it's all in there.

As for spawning npcs, as Redhawke indicated, you could simply use a script attached to a dialog. Making a new module just for spawning a few npcs is kind of overkill.
