[Help] A Scholar's Mod

[capt0skittles]

After some time and frustration I've decided to start my own mod series centered around making in game books. It's sort of my version of the "story teller mod" on the NV nexus. My main goal is to frame the 'recent events' happening in Skyrim with a historical context from the eyes of an Altmer Scholar. I have literally no experience with modding so my first goal is to just put books covering these topics in game.

 

1. The great collapse

2. The nature of Anu, Sithis, and Padome- This may contain theories not accepted in the world as a whole and will be labeled as such.

3. Dragons- obviously :tongue:

4. Various lore friendly lessons on the schools of magic

5. And finally and most importantly the Great War, the 'Heretical' history of Tiber Septim, and the history and reasons all leading up to the Crusade against Talos

 

After some more experience I hope to possibly make various buildings and locations centering around various intellectual endeavors (seriously the college lacked this element entirely)

 

So any advice on how to start out and maybe some pointers in the right direction as far as tutorials and pitfalls to avoid would be more than appreciated!

Here's a good tutorial regarding creating a new book in the Creation Kit: http://tesmods.blogspot.com/2012/02/tutorial-creating-new-book.html. More tutorials can be found in the mystical place known as google.

Go to the Creation Kit wiki for tutorials on how to use the program, what your trying to do should be incredibly simple (albeit tedious) as long as you don't intend to go to far into quests.
