New Race - need assistance

[Oslion]

I was messing with the creation kit trying to learn how to make a new perk for a friend. (trying to get bound weapons to restore magicka. Still can't get it working) I had an idea for a new race.

 

I wanted to make a race that Lived off soul gems. So similar to vampires need to feed, but ate the souls from souls gems or some other race-specific item. The problem is, I suck at this modding thing. Is there any tutorials someone could point me at so that i can make this or is there someone bored and looking for something to do lol.

 

I would really like to learn how to do it so i can expand on them as time goes on and possibly make some others.

Hey!

 

You ever modded anything before? Oblivion, for example, which would be very similar to Skyrim.

As for your initial problem; search for bound weapons in the CK (pm me if you don't know how to issue a search) and change its stats to restore magicka. You may have to tweak an enchantment or even create a new spell/enchantment to get it to work but that's really very basic CK work.

I understand that the CK can be ENTIRELY confusing, especially if you've got no previous modding experience. It's even different from the Oblivion CK.

 

So, anyway, I'd hate to be like "lol what a noob" so just PM me with your questions and I'll try to work it out. :)

Thanks. I'm still watching videos and reading wikis looking for instruction. The modding thing isn't coming naturally to me at lol. However, i haven't given up and by deconstruction others work im learning a great deal. I will message ya if i hit any brick walls.
