t_aborn Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Can anyone point me in the right direction to make a new city, either a tutorial or help me understand what to do in the creation kit. I want to make a new cell that a player can go to with a complete functioning city and make it work just like whiterun or any other city. Please help me do this I have some great ideas for mods.

soulslayerzx Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 You sound exactly like how I talked when I first touched creation kit. I was like sh*t. I'm not gonna touch anything not included in a tutorial. I'll just help you, basically the render window is the 3d window where you see the actual results. The panel on the left is your library like in adobe flash where you have all the info and stuff and you just drag that sh*t into the render window. So if you want to start a new city. You'd just go to Data>check skyrim.esp. Then, eventually when you try saving it'll make a plugin file which will save all the stuff you modified in it. So then, Tamriel is the world!!! So go to the window under the render window and go to the drop down list and select Tamriel. This is the world!!!! Like the external world. All you really need to focus on is the interors/tamriel portion. Just look at creating your first house tutorials, so then you just go to tamriel. Find an empty spot, I'm making a massive mod and you seem like the person doing the same thing as me. Be aware though, there is lots of occupied spaces in Tamriel and it's not that easy to find one that is like perfect for settling down civilization. Anyways, find one and start building crap. Look at how to connect doors with the external world and it'll tell you the gist of building cities. Here's a fast and good tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8r1MCt_dXY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
62firelight Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I don't have Skyrim for the PC but I do mod for Oblivion. And it looks like that the CK is very similar to previous games. As soulslayer said, it's pretty much drag and drop really. Load Tamriel, and find what you want to put in the world (As mentioned, Tamriel is filled with a lot, might be hard for you to build a city) in the Object Window, like Static things, NPCs, etc. And drag and drop 'em in the Render Window and there you go, you just dragged an object into the game world. Pretty basic really. But if you are in need of tutorials to learn more, check out the Creation Kit Wiki. Also remember that you should probably start small from simple weapons, armor and maybe a house as well. Then you should get to the city creating, which is going to involve a lot of time creating the cities, making the interiors for the houses and doing all that city-building like that. Just some advice to tell you, good luck on modding! :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
