New to Modding, Looking for pointers to get started

So, let me start off with that i have never used the creation kit.
However I am a programmer for a living and I was a 3D game and animation major in college, so i should be able to hit the ground running if pointed in the right directions.

So now with introductions out of the way, what is it I'm trying to accomplish with my first mod.

Robot genders.

Ok ok don't leave, its not what you think.

Some mods like Singing Settler are gender based, and automatrons can be assigned to any job a settler can do.
See where I'm going with this.
Currently what seems to be the problem is automatrons are gender-less, most likely the same flag check used in perks like lady killer or black widow. *(Or at least i hope that's where to start...)

My plan is to attach some kind of script to the voice select for automatrons.

Probably pretty niche use but i feel it fills a need, ....that probably no one cares, but at the end of the day i want to create it for my game.

Cant have a town of all robots and only have male songs play. :wink:


I currently watching youtube videos for setting up my Creation Kit workspace.
Things I'm having trouble finding:
How to add F4SE to the Creation Kit. (Seems there are a million videos on how to place F4SE in the fallout 4 folder for people using it but none on how its used in actually making mods)

If there are any Community or Modder discords I would be interested in joining one of those.
Thank you for any pointer in advance. Any help is appreciated.

Umm.. robots do have genders. As you had said its mainly voice related so I'd assume that putting a female voice in an automatron more than likely changes the gender. But I could be completely wrong. I haven't looked at this specific case but I'm sure its possible to push a character attribute to a specific actor.

 

As far as using the f4se, I'm not 100% familiar with using it, but I'd assume that when its installed you can "use" it by calling f4se specific functions in your scripts. There may be more required than just installing and calling but that would be my best guess as to how it works.
