Skayrum Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Hey does anybody know some good tools for modders. I already have TES5Edit and BOSS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LargeStyle Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 That all depends if you're referring to "modders" as mod users or mod creators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LargeStyle Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 In that case, BOSS isn't a modding tool other than organising your load order to be compatible friendly as possible, and TES5EDIT is a tool for cleaning / editing certain files but also isn't a creation tool in itself. The main creation tool is the Creation Kit which can be downloaded via Steam, under the category of "tools". What else will you need to know depends on the type of mod - if it's texture work you'll need something like Photoshop or Gimp, if it's mesh orientated you may need 3DS Max, or Maya, or Blender, or NifSkope, if it's animation then it'll be some of the previously mentioned tools. Generally speaking though it'll be Creation Kit that'll be the "main" tool - in there you can create areas, quests, spells, lighting changes etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
