ChristerC Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I´m sorry if I upset someone but I´m new to modding and I think that there is more like me who needs a better start. First of: I´m currently only trying to work with Fallout 3. Must focus on one game to use as a learning platform for using mods and later hopefully create my own. I have tried to read a lot and used Videos from all over the Place to get a grip of what tools to use and how to use them. But there is problems...The Pinned topics is from 2008 and 2009 with a lot of broken links. They describe tools that is outdated or not longer available. Sorry to say the same goes for many of the instructional videos and some of them are just a year old. I have noted that some recent answers in forums describes use of tools thar are no longer available. I understand that it is personal preferences as well as a long time with modding that decides what tools to use. Personally as I´m new to this it just gets me confused. I started up using FOMM and installed LOOT, FO3Edit, Geck, Wrye Flash and god knows what. Tried to find recomended tools like BOSS that is mentioned all over the Place. Recently restarted all this work with NMM.But for me this is not an option. BOSS is not available any longer so all references to that tool is of no use, have no clue how it works, and a lot of the other toos instructions are outdated or in some cases non existing. I would like to place a request if that is possible. Please, can someone who is experienced in modding create a short introduction to "current tools" that are avalable for us noobs (when writing this my NMM just tells me of a new update) . I know, that would be as starting over and thats exactly what we are doing. That would help a lot. I am amazed of how much effort is laid onto some of these topics and instructions and I want to thanks for that but if they are to old, sorry. That does not help me.

ChristerC Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 Thanks. I will look into it. I call myself noob but had used up my available data (70GB) during january on this with downloads and videos so I´ve gained some understanding of the process although it´s a long way to go still.
