New to creating mods, would love to become part of the community

[TPCallie]

So I'm completely new to modding Fallout 4.. I know a small tiny handful of things but I still really really wanna get into learning.

 

I want to focus on creating custom race mods much like what you see in Skyrim. I need a head start, though, so it'd be nice if someone could introduce me to the basics and or at least point me in the right direction.

 

I'm a 3D artist and modeler. I create 3D models and I have a lot of ideas I'd love to bring into the game but I lack the knowledge.

Have you read through the tutorials on the Creation Kit pages? https://www.creationkit.com/index.php?title=Category:Tutorials. That would be a good place to start.

 

Also, there are a lot of videos on YouTube which can be very helpful.

 

I like to download mods and open them up with FO4Edit and TES5Edit (SSEEdit) and the Creation Kit, just look through them and see how things work. There is quite a lot to learn but I've found it pretty fun, frustrating sometimes as well!

I don't consider myself a skilled modder, but have learned a lot from experimenting, reading and watching tutorials, and asking questions on forums like these when I get stuck with something.

 

Hope this helps a bit!
