Hello everyone, I want to know if anyone could teach me how to create weapons and armor mods etc (I'm Brazilian and I'm using google translator if I get some different words that I typed sorry for)

wich genre of mod do you want learn to do first : create a follower , an armor or a weapon ?

and do you want create follower with the skyrim models , same for armor and weapon or you have your own models ? or you have need of models created by a Creator of models agreed to share ?

What of the basic programs are you familiar with? Nifscope, outfit-studio, blender, gimp ect? (they are all free in some form or another)

 

Are you familiar with the different file-types and what opens with what? .bsa .nif .zip and so on?

 

Do you intend to re-skin/re-mesh something already existing?, or are you going to build it from the ground up?

 

Very simply put:

 

First you need a mesh. (Nifscope, blender, outfitstudio ect.)

 

Then some textures. (Gimp, Creation kit ect.)

 

Worry about putting it in-game when time comes. ( Creation kit, Tesedit wrye bash ect.)

 

You need to look into these individual things to make a decision.

I'm a beginner, I want to start doing it from scratch.

Good. Then you need to take a few hours and watch some videos.

 

Search in youtube for 'how to' use the tools, explaining them in simple terms is impossible.

 

You need to look into 'how to make a mesh' and convert it to nif. Tools used for this is called blender, nifscope and outfitstudio.

 

Then you need to learn how to use Gimp to make a texture, and plug-ins for gimp that allows you to convert into the files you need (you need different "maps" (layers) depending on what game and what item you are making.

 

You have a bit of learning ahead of you.

 

 

All these programs are free and reliable and you gonna need them at some point:

 

Nifscope.

 

Blender+plugins.

 

Gimp+Plugins

 

NifOptimizer.

 

BAE (bethesda archive extractor)

 

Creation Kit.

 

SSEEdit ( for putting it in game, you can use the creation kit for this also).

 

And probably a few other i'm forgetting, but you are bound to run into those if you watch videos on the above topics. I realize it is a lot, but no worries, one step at the time, and you're gonna be fine.

 

And do yourself a favor and start this topic in the correct category found at the bottom of the page under "Skyrim Special Edition Creation Kit and Modders" found at the bottom of the skyrimse forum, you are about to invoke the wrath of the local sourpusses.

WHICH GAME(S)?!? Every game has its own method(s) of modding. And every game has its own forum here on the Nexus.

 

Please post these sorts of question in the forum for the specific game you're interested in.
