Where do I begin?

[whitelion73]

I have a ton of ideas swarming around in the old noodle. I tried to learn how to mod Fallout: 3, but was just never able to. Every YouTube video I found was just how to change the damage, weight, etc. etc. of things. Not necessary altering the appearance or anything. Are there any ACTUAL guides or tips you guys know of?

 

Would greatly appreciate it.

There are plenty of guides here, they should be much the same for New Vegas.

Nothing matched up with the NV GECK and what was going on in the tutorial..

and when I clicked on the GECK it just went unresponsive. Just screw it.. I'll leave the modding to you guys..

One of the main aspects of modding, if not also one of the most rewarding aspects, is in learning to figure it out as you go. Just because a tutorial doesn't exist, or doesn't relate to NV aspects doesn't mean you should just give up. Afterall, if a tutorial exists, it usually means that hundreds of people have already done that particular thing whereas anything without a tutorial or documentation is often un-explored territory that is just itching to be figured out.

It's kinda hard to figure out on me own what I'm doing when every little thing I do makes the G.E.C.K. go unresponsive.. :(

Think of something you want to change. Start small.

See how they did it originally, or how other modders have done it.

Apply what you have learned.

I just want to start off small and make a new hair style. I have no idea where I would even begin. This' pretty much like learning a new language without any help whatsoever.. ._.

Then what you want to do is learn 3d modelling

Starting off "small" means things which don't require new meshes and textures... It may not necessarily interest you, or create anything useful, but through the course of it you can become familiar with the tools and resources available and figure out how they work.
