WhiskeyRiver2 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Call me crazy, but I've decided to dive into FNV modding by making (or at least attempting to make) a short quest/story mod inspired by a song that a local radio station keeps playing. Included will be at least four new NPCs, at least one unique weapon, and at least two quests. Plain and simple, am I being too ambitious for a first mod, and are there any tutorials I should watch aside from Seddon's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good place to start is a short quest mod. What is ambitious is a giant new world space being your first mod( which is what I'm doing :facepalm: ) If you need more help check out this forum that has a huge list of tutorials to help you:http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/269597-how-to-become-a-modder/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiskeyRiver2 Posted March 4, 2014 Author Share Posted March 4, 2014 Lol, I'll take that as a vote of confidence, then :3 Thanks for the link, I'll get to reading it later tonight. Also, are there any Nexus-related hurdles/roadblocks I should know about regarding the use of copyrighted content (I.E music)? If I can get away with it, I want to integrate the song that inspired me, because A: It fits the FNV world (and a few vanilla characters, actually), and B: It'd be awesome. I know I'll have to get the artist's permission, which I'm working on now (he's a friend of a friend, seriously doubt he'll say no), but I can't recall if the Nexus has any rules about that sort of thing.

You may need to ask someone who created or is creating a radio station mod about the rules regarding copyright for music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mishaxhi Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Music has to be royalty free, or so old and obscure that nobody is gonna check. There are quite a few music packs on here that include a ton of technically copyrighted music, but nobody really cares as the artists died decades ago. It's a judgement call that you have to make. Elvis? No. Rat Pack? Nooope. Obscure pre-1950s bluegrass band? You'd get away with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
