Realistic Modding Potential?

How easy/hard do you guys think it will be to port Skyrim mods into Fallout 4? I'm thinking about mods like RaceMenu and Familiar Faces. Like, obviously difficult for a beginner, but I mean more like could it be possible for an experience modder port them to Fallout 4 eventually or would it be better to just start from the scratch?

Wow. I didnt realise how broken Bethesda's stuff is.

 

I installed the Skyrim Creation Kit and followed the official wiki tutorial on setting it up.

 

Right from step 1 (loading the main Skyrim masterfile) I get numerous errors. Just loading Skyrim.esm - not even editing something. I thought it might be a problem with my Skyrim install or a mod, so I verify my install files in Steam. Nothing wrong there... but it keeps happening.

 

I decide to blow away the Skyrim install and start from scratch. Uninstall it, delete any remaining files (mods, config files, etc) and then reinstall Skyrim clean and fresh. Start the game up once to make sure it generates any files it needs on first play, then try the Creation Kit again.

 

Same. Bloody. Errors.

 

I do some investigating online and it seems Bethesda broke something after one of their patches and never decided to fix it up. Seems most people are getting these errors and some just say you have to ignore them - but there's no consensus on if it has any negative effect on your edits/mods nor how to fix them?

 

So, I ignore the errors like people suggest and five minutes later the Creation Kit crashes. I havent even edited anything yet! I was just playing around in the Render View trying to get used to the way the camera works. All my drivers and stuff are up to date with the latest versions by the way.

 

I tried opening it again and investigating it some more but it will just randomly crash (sometimes with a file called xaudio.dll being the cause).

 

If this was happening in the Morrowind editor or even the Oblivion editor, then I'd could at least understand it being neglected and unstable - but Skyrim's not even that old!

 

If this is any indication of what the Fallout 4 GECK is going to be like, I might not bother wasting my time. Anyone know if all their games and tools are like this?
