I'm completely new to making mods for Skyrim/Skyrim SE, and I'd like to start off with something I hope is rather simple--I have a model I would like to import as a new weapon to Skyrim SE. What sorts of tools would I need to go about this, and how might I do it? I apologize in advance, I know very little on the subject. Additionally, is there a specific format I should convert my model to? I have it saved as a .fbx currently.

Hi there! I'm still trying to figure it out for myself, but I found this video that could be helpful for the both of us: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nj-gTQCr3zk I hope this helps.
