Now if only we could also clearly separate the terminology "to mod" (the action of installing mods) form "to mod" (as in actually producing mods). Using identical words for both causes quite a bit of confusion at times.

I participate in "mod creation" because I am creating a mod (albeit very slowly and painfully).

 

I also participate in "mod installation", because I have downloaded and installed mods.

 

I know that "mod creation" and "mod installation" are verbose. but sometimes more words actually clarify a situation.

Sorry I couldn't resist. I'll go back to trying to learn papyrus now.

But on a more serious note I've always pretty much thought it was:
To Mod (download and install a bunch of mods and hope you don't screw something up)
To Author (create the mods)

This one probably has all the info one could need.

Once I have that, I can use it as a reference tool to use as a model for making my companion script... Anyone want to post what a companion script looks like with the companion wheel included?

It sounds more like you are talking about dialogue related to a quest. If that is the case than a google search for "how do I add companion dialogue to a quest" should net you several very nice tutorials for Skyrim that are still relevant as far as I know.

If you are talking about Scripts (Papyrus). Get ready for the fun and excitement of Chinese Algebra. Wait a minute Chinese Algebra was easier. In all seriousness though a search for "Papyrus Wiki" should get to the Wiki for Papyrus that has some decent tutorials and references.

It's called "Skill Synergy" and in a game where you already level to fast I can't understand the appeal. I it's under the "setting all followers" while talking to a follower I believe.
