Hello newbie!

 

All I can say is research!!! Pretend you're preparing for a college exam...

For beginning mods all you need is the Construction Set (CS). It's free and available at the official Bethesda site http://www.elderscrolls.com/downloads/updates_utilities.htm

 

For the instructions on how to use it and a simple tutorial, the Wiki is best. http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index.php/Main_Page

 

You cannot put anything in the game without knowing how to use the CS, so go through and learn it before trying any of the dozens of other tools people recommend. They all require the CS to put stuff in the game. And for many mods, the CS is all you need.

Ive been toying with the CS program for about 36hrs off and on. I have to say its no cake walk. I just can get it to do what i want it to do. :wallbash:

 

I'm wanting to do an alyeid castle mod with no doors inside, just opening to the other rooms. Rooms like, masters quarters, spare room setup like barricks with about 10 beds but eligant looking, kitten/bar area, weapons storage area with show cases, large pool/hot tub area, at the back a tall stair well that go to a tower so you can go outside and see all of Cyrodiil, and in the center of all these rooms a fountain with sitting area around it. The castle would be well light, well furnished,and with decrative foliage inside and out. Kinda with the openness of the "heros retreat" but the style and eligance of "Azuras Palace". This castle would be placed on the top of a tall mountain in the province of Elsweyr on the border. this mountain is just south of the west weald forest about middle ways between "Skingrad" and "Bravil". There is a marker for it if you have the MOD "Beyond Cyrodill". Of course you could only get there by portal or Flying, witch makes it all the more fun. ...And if your wondering why all the beds, I have a lot of companions and they need room to walk, sleep, and whatever else they do while I out of the house. So this house is kinda like a bordelo :biggrin:

 

Hell if any of you Mod guru's aren't doing anything, and feel up to it, your welcome to try your hand at it. There is a lot more I was going to add to this Mod, like thre flying elv companions, a portal to each city and a pegasus that wont leave when you get off damn thing, but i thought I start with the castle first.

 

Let me know what you think and if you have any advice I'll be glad to take it.
