iceurface18 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 (edited) Hey guys, I would like to create my own mods for the community. However, I don't know which programs to use that are compatible with Skyrim other than what I have already downloaded which was the Creation Kit of course. This may not be true but you can't really create your own unique mods with the Creation Kit because there are already pre-made materials for you. I would like to actually make my own armor or weapons. Essentially, what programs do I use to go about doing this? EDIT: Whoops! made a grammatical error in the topic and can't really edit it...

CampanaAliquanta Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 (edited) You can use blender to create models (there are others, but blender is free). GIMP or photoshop for the texture files (you need a plugin that will open DDS image files). You will also need lots of time and patience, because if you've not done it before it can be quite confusing - most of these programs aren't intuitive enough simply to pick up and work out how to use by yourself. Google for tutorials or check the wiki here for relevant ones. Edit: modding doesn't necessarily mean importing totally new items. You can create quests, new areas, new NPC dialogues and behaviours, and change a lot of the game's behaviour just using the current assets.
