So not an author here and I was wondering where did y'all start?

I got so many ideas for changing the game that I want to execute and I don't want to be at the mercy of someone else (should they even feel merciful enough to do it) alot of mods I see seem beyond the scope of the creation kit Bethesda released so I was wondering if anyone wants to share how they started modding and what hurdles and particular things hit them as being difficult about their own projects?

[HeyYou]

What game did you want to mod?

[JimmyRJump]

You start with learning how to use the Creation Kit and take it from there. You'll find out what else is needed along the way.

I used to hex edit unlock able items in offline modes. I got into the ini files in oblivion searching for hidden content in vanilla. I ended up deleting the commercials and found a secret folded note not available on console editions. I love cleaning up shacks using console commands. In fact I leave most of the downloadable content unchecked when I do a play through.
