jrfk2 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 (edited) Hi Folks, So confess to be a noob to what I need to do to add some custom FO4 workshop catergories .. I found a tutorial mod that talks about needing perl scripts to add the new categories to the categories formlist, that you don't change the default formlist by hand etc .. but then comments on that mod said some of the stuff in the scripts it supplies are suspect. Can anyone refer me to a tutorial of sorts that can help point me in the right direction .. I am a coder by trade, but its the specifics of which all pearl scripts I need, I guess especially if someone uninstalls my mod .. etc etc .. Its probably old hand to the experts out here, so help a noob out please .. I have a bunch of poster mods people like, except there are SO many of them in the posters catergory .. I've been asked to put them in their own categories .. so hoping to keep the users happy .. thanks ... Edited October 28, 2016 by jrfk2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrfk2 Posted October 28, 2016 Author Share Posted October 28, 2016 Yes, that is the tutorial I saw .. can;t get past first two steps: Open up this file and your workshop mod in xEdit. <-- WTH is xEdit ..googling it gets all kinds of diff s/w, opened in CK instead Copy the quest WorkshopAddCategoriesTemplate to your mod. <-- can't find this quest, only WorkshopCategoriesFixer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneRaptor Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 (edited) xEdit in this case refers to FO4Edit Can be found here.The reason you can't find the quest is because you need to copy it to your esp in FO4Edit first before it will show up in your esp.
