Btasty Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 (edited) With Skyrim having just come out and the creation kit coming out in the near future (hopefully) I feel like its a good time to break into the modding scene. The problem is I cant find any good resources or tutorials and I am kinda stumbling around in the dark here. I primarily want to mod via coding and such. I don't really care to much for redoing textures and models. What kind of tools am I going to need to do this and are there any good tutorials out there or is it more of a just trial and error learning process? Just on a side-note is it possible to do simple mods in Skyrim right now? I have heard a lot of talk about nothing being able to be done until the sdk comes out but I see a bunch of threads with UI development and what looks like in-game footage of the mod.

Don Prestoni Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 If its anything like last time, Beth release a limited wiki with tutorials with the construction set and then over time the community adds to it and fleshes out details. I suspect it will be similar to the last CS/CK, but we won't know till we see it. If the code side is what interests you most (its the same for me) you need a lot less in the way of tools outside the CS. My learning went as follows: Make small shack in the CSMake larger house in the CSMake a short quest in the CSMake a longer quest in the CSStart using scripts Can't really point you in any directions till the new CS is out, but as a rough principle that should get you into the side of modding I think you are looking at. My plan is to relearn what I could do before on the old tools to do on the new tools, and then to learn how to make custom animations.
