Paradox_of_Theseus Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 Hey Guys. Â Firstly, I'm sure I'm probably posting this in the wrong section. If so please feel free to move the topic. Â Next, I've been enjoying all the wonderful mods people have been creating for Skyrim and do want to try and give back and create content that someone out there might enjoy. That being said, I have absolutely no idea where to start. Actually no, let me clarify...I have a STRONG idea of what I want to do, just no knowledge of how to do it or where to look. Â My goal right now is to create a Quest Mod that can tie in with Alternate Start, set up an initial adult questline, and end up giving the player a "starter home". So basically I need to learn how to create a player home, fill it with NPC's, add dialogue to those NPC's, integrate Quests, and somehow tie it into another mod. Its a little ambitious for someone who has no clue what they're doing, but regardless I'm writing the outline for the story now. Â So, having said all that, I would very much appreciate being pointed in a good direction of any guides or resources I could use to start learning how I am actually going to transfer my ideas from head to paper to screen. Thanks!
toadguy Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 You should make an animated fishing mod, that's what Skyrim lacks right now. Apparently, adding animation is so difficult no one has done it before.
Veladarius Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 The tutorials here are a good start:Â http://www.creationkit.com/Category:Tutorials. I have picked up quite a few things from them. Scripting will probably be the biggest hurdle as you will need it to do just about everything. Another thing to do is to look at various quests that do something that you want to do and take them apart to see how they do it.
Paradox_of_Theseus Posted April 25, 2014 Author Posted April 25, 2014 That tutorial looks exactly like what I was looking for. Trying to Google led me in some confusing paths, but I that one looks a lot clearer. Thanks!
ArielFetters Posted April 27, 2014 Posted April 27, 2014 The ABC's of modding are easy. A is for AAAAAGH! when the mods you install don't work. B is for BULLSHIT! when you've done everything right but they still don't work. C is for Crap! when you realize you have to reinstall everything from scratch and try again
Guest emilio Posted April 27, 2014 Posted April 27, 2014 D is for don't install crimson tide and warzones
