Hello! Assuming I'm able to extract the file for editing using BAE, how do I then make something compatible with the NMM?

I would really like some headshot mods, power armor and certain helmets and things aside... when you shoot someone in the face they should die. I think it's incredibly stupid that I have to shoot anything in the head over and over and it have little impact on damage. The multiplier on getting headshot should be pretty much instant death for player and enemy unless you're wearing a helmet it should require a face shot... I'm not sure if we have that level of hitbox detection in this game or if it's possible considering the mod tools are very limited right now.

I would like to get into more aspects of it really, advanced modding and whatnot will have to wait but I already see people doing things like re-texturing that I could jump into right away if I could find a guide or something.

Can anyone mentor me or point me in the right direction? I would like to start getting involved in the Fallout 4 modding community, if someone could mentor me or give me some guides or something that would be amazing. I did some modding back in the Halo PC days but I was in high school and that was about 10 years ago and I haven't done much since. I want to mod textures initially but I would like to move on to some more advanced modding. So here are a couple of the main questions. What tools do I need? (I have the whole Adobe CC) What if any programming languages should I freshen up on? I don't do modeling really so are there plugins to convert models into importable formats for this game with 3ds or anything?
