BigPie91 Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 I want to start modding games on my pc (mainly skyrim special edition) I've looked for tutorial videos but everything I've found to try and get me stared seems to be a bit dated now and when I follow them they just don't seem to work. Can someone point me in the direction of some uptodate tutorials for modding please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyday01 Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Creationkit.com look for tutorials and then video tutorials. They are a good start. The only thing I've found they've got wrong is in the XYZ axis for moving and rotating. The actual keys are ZXC which are more convenient as they are grouped together. Then check out some tutorials by Darkfox127 on YouTube. He has some good ones. As for useful hints give everything you create for a mod the mod's initials as a prefix. Makes it easier to find your objects.Don't delete vanilla navmeshes, leads to crashes.Don't change vanilla objects as a rule (at least until you know what you are doing). Just duplicate then rename and edit your newly created object.Make a test mod with a test cell and just play around and use it for trying things out.Make a clean save with no mods installed, I like to make one when I reach Riverwood. Then install your mod and load that save when you want to check how your mod works in game. If you have a save after your mod was installed and then change your mod sometimes the changes you made won't show up as the original mod data got baked into your save.Make lots of saves of mod stages. Copy your esp file into a mod stage folder. If you mess up you can go back to an earlier version and not have to redo it all.Practice with TES5Edit. Try cleaning your mod of inadvertent changes often. The practice will be good for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigPie91 Posted September 4, 2017 Author Share Posted September 4, 2017 Thanks mate but I meant downloading and installing mods from places like nexus. Sorry for the mix up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyday01 Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Simplest is to go to Skyrim Nexus and download and install Nexus Mod Manager. It is fairly self explanatory. Using Mod Organizer is an other option. Golpher has some videos on installing and using it (Google Golpher and Mod Organizer). That program is a bit more, just slightly, complex but has some very nice features. It is no longer being updated as it's maker is working for Nexus now making an updated manager for them but it is completely useable in it's current form and I use it for everything except creating mods.

agerweb Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 This the Creation Kit forum so people tend to think you are asking about Creating mods. Ask your questions about using mods on the Skyrim Mod Talk or Troubleshooting Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
