Creation Kit Mods for noobies

[Owrom]

Hi there,

 

i just found this Creation Kit tool. so i'm a bit proud of myself, just took serval months..

 

while i create a skyrim mod, editing stuff for now, i got a question.

 

i applyed the npc-hireling Janessa an ApachiiSkyHair style. Just that. loading my save, nothing has changed. someone points out, saved stuff can't be edited like that. a new game will have the changes.

 

is that the situation so far, did i miss something?

as far as i know, you dont have to start a new game to get a mod to work. The tricky part is making sure the mod works.

 

Unless they're talking about the esp file? I know you cant edit something in CK and expect to overwrite it in the main file, you'll have to do your editing and 'save as' to make a new esp and make sure its in the Data folder. As long as nothing went wrong during the editing process (anything can go wrong. easily), then the changes should be applied the next time you boot up the game.
