Beginner Modding in Skyrim

Darn... Oh well, guess I spend out a little cash for a whole lotta Game Designing enjoyment... Worthwhile investiture regardless.

The CK is free...

 

1. Nifskope, Blender, Gimp, CK

2. No, but as mentioned above, the CK is free on Steam

3. No, papyrus is very different. The CK wiki has a lot of information on scripting. There are also various Youtube videos that are good for leaning basic CK modding.

4. Obviously you cant just port your mod over, you'll have to rebuild it. Skywind also isn't finished yet (and wont be for awhile) so you'll have to wait before you can make any mods for it. However, once it is finished, i'm sure you can make whatever mods you want for it.

 

 

I've never used Gimp before... I assume it's freeware? As to Nifskope, and Blender, same versions as Morrowind? Or have they finally updated the Nif Scripts?

I purchased the Elder Scrolls Anthology a while ago. Definately a worthwhile purchase. All the games (Arena - Skyrim), all the "official" expansions for all the games that had them. I'm glad that I don't need to purchase CK, in addition to paying for Steam... That is a load off. The scripting will be an interesting challenge, but then again, I'm going to school to learn how to do all this for a living, so I guess I'd best get used to scripting in ever newer, more diverse, and (hopefully) more robust languages.

Steam is also a free service. I believe some features are locked behind buying one's first game, such as chat, but you don't have to pay for it.

Gimp is a free Photoshop alternative. (Sorry, but I don't know about versions. I don't do modeling or texturing. Every time I've ever tried, it's failed miserably. I can never get the programs to work properly.)
