Any advice on how to start modding

[skubblebubble]

Trying to tweak other mods is frustrating, but a good learning time.

 

Seeing how dialogue and quests work.

Changing appearance of NPC . <- grabbed nifskope as it's needed to change some things

Modifying cells and items in it. <- trying to find why something won't show up in game, but does in geck. something is modifying it, but I can't find out what

How new NPC are made and put into the game.

 

Haven't got to how to make new cells yet, beyond the geck tutorial. I'll tackle that when geck for FO4 comes out.

I'm just fiddling with a few mods on FO3/FNV/TTW that have a few things that irk me, or just aren't showing up.

 

Oh, found how to add voice to the dialogue more by accident. Sometimes just poking about leads to "oh, so that's how it's done"

 

I've watched some videos on modding, but more on how the tools are used. I do the RTFM, then try, when stuck on something in particular, then look for

help online. You remember better when you figure things out for yourself.
