Add a new monster with Creation kit Tutorial please

[robham63]

I would like a tutorial on how to add a new monster to skyrim using the Creation Kit (not interested in the uninformative basic official creation kit wiki tutorial). For instance I would like to know how to control where and when the new monster will spawn within the game, what scripts,keywords, spells if any i have to modify etc. Already checked the Nexus Sites, no such guide exists as yet, so here is hoping!

 

Thanks

Spawns are controlled by Leveled Lists.

 

If you navigate through "Leveled Character" tab you can see all the LCharxxxxxxx actors.

 

These "actors" contain lists of other actors, with spawn chances, conditions, levels etc.

 

When placing one of these LChar in the world you'll see a big M. This is a spawning point that will spawn an enemy depending on the conditions you put.

 

So in order to make your monster spawn you can put it in a vanilla leveled list. If you for example put it in the Draugr list, it will spawn where usually Draugrs spawn.

 

But beware, doing this will make your mod incompatible with other mods that modify the same leveled list.

 

The only way to avoid compatibility issues is making a brand new leveled list and manually place it all over the world. Or learn to use ASIS by Plutoman :P
