I think everyone starts their scripts with 000 by instinct. They most likely do it because it would always show up first in the list if it began with 000. I done it my first time :P

Hmm. I've always used "lut" as a prefix, and you can order the object window by FormID so that all of your stuff is at the top anyway.

I know what you mean. Now, I always use SLIK as my prefix. My only worry is that it leads to two of my mods conflicting someday...

I tried changing the zeros to A's and that worked. I knew it was something simple.

It's mind-blowing how many people do this when they go to write their first scripts. Is there some bad guide out there that everyone is reading?

I think it's because so many different forms in the Geck do have vanilla items that start with a numeric character (including scripts, cell names, NPCs, etc). It's unclear that there would be a problem with doing it oneself. And there is no clear statement anywhere telling new modders that they shouldn't be doing it, at least not that I've ever seen. I know it's an issue from reading it over and over again in different forums I read.

I do this too. I use a version of the mod name or of my user name.

I got everything working, but I am always interested in learning . so if you are willing to share I'm willing to listen.
