Modding a Mod

[Blizzkid]

Okay, I know nothing about modding, at all. Therefore, me attempting to create a mod from scratch is not likely going to happen any time soon. However, I was wondering if there was a way to mod an existing mod. I downloaded a mod, and rather like how the weapon looks and such, but I find it's values to be rather game breaking, as a level three character has a 33 damage rating with it. Tips on how to tone this down, or, in the case of another mod, tone the combat value up a little? (The relative uselessness of two-handers in Oblivion has always bothered me)

You use TESCS (The Elder Scrolls Construction set). If you need any help doing that just ask

Look at the link here for direct links to the downloads for the construction sets and for small instructions.

 

That website has pretty much everything you need to know for the construction set, or CS as it is often abbreviated, so bookmark it. Just search for whatever you want to know about.

I figured that much out. I tried it myself, but it doesn't look as intuitive as it did with Morrowind. Maybe that's just me, but I remember slapping a new race together like it was nothing. (At least from a pure mechanics standpoint)

Okay I'll guide a bit.

 

Open up the CS.

 

Go to Files and open up Data.

 

Select the mod you want and "set as active file".

 

Now extend Items>Weapon.

 

Find the weapon that you want to edit in there.

 

Open it up and find the Damage.

 

Edit it to what you want it to be.

 

Save.

 

Done.
