We prove absolute continuity of "high-entropy'' hyperbolic invariant measures for smooth actions of higher-rank abelian groups assuming that there are no proportional Lyapunov exponents. For actions on tori and infranilmanifolds the existence of an absolutely continuous invariant measure of this kind is obtained for actions whose elements are homotopic to those of an action by hyperbolic automorphisms with no multiple or proportional Lyapunov exponents. In the latter case a form of rigidity is proved for certain natural classes of cocycles over the action.
