This is all a scheme from kinggath to get us to help with his mods. Worth it. In all seriousness, I've been looking for stuff like this and, as far as I've found, there's nobody out there that has done this in a clear way who also has a knack for speaking to people. Really looking forward to the series kinggath
Exactly, i have *always* wanted to get into modding ever since i saw trainwiz's hillarous dragon/trains in skyrim nearly a decade ago. Every time i looked into it,it always seemed like there was a near "learn to code" level of "this is above me". I think the creation kit really helped open the doors for plebs like me though. Super exited to add slooty armour mod #1100000032 tho😂
As someone with self-taught mod release experience in FO4, I can confirm that Kinggath's advice is perfect! Mod for YOURSELF first, pace yourself to avoid burnout, and achieve one thing at a time to keep yourself motivated. Experiment, document, and focus on learning from your mistakes rather than being overwhelmed by trying to add that 'one perfect thing'. Before you know it, you'll have all the experience and tools you need to make whatever you want in half of the time. Thanks so much for doing this series Kinggath, as a huge fan of the insanely high quality content you put out I'll be following this intently!
If there's one thing that's almost universally undocumented in Bethesda game modding its UI modding, it would be great to get a video on that at some point, we're far from the xml hell of Fallouts past but still. Looking forward to the series! I think even veteran modders will be able to pick up some tips and tricks later on.
Thanks for this, I've been trying to get my friends into modding Bethesda games for a while. This will be a better introduction hopefully than a multitude of random videos I'll link them
Awww man am I excited for this! I tried my hand at basic modding a year or two back and actually managed to get a custom named holotape with a 2 layer deep menu in it, which activated a basic feature of a mod idea that I've had for a long time and was thrilled that I'd actually managed to do something in-world! But then hit a wall - the whole run before I could walk trap - and dropped the ball from there. I'd love to get back into FO4 and the Creation Kit through this series, and perhaps one day I'll get my mod off the ground :) P.S: Never commented on one of your videos before KingGath, but I've been following Sim Settlements for a long time and your work has me in awe!
Kinggath, you are the hero this community needs and does not deserve. THANK. YOU. Seriously; your mods are fantastic and I love that they've opened up entirely new avenues to play the game. And you don't even stop there - you're constantly teaching and supporting the rest of us in our own quests to create things.
THIS is what I will be needing. With this series, I hope to learn enough that I will be able to create my very own DLC size Fo4 mod, with new weapons, NPCs which will become temporary companions, a whole new map, and a full quest line.
This is a great idea. I am really looking forward to watching this series (as I have time). One thing in particular that I am interested in learning is how to do a "negative" mod: a mod that removes something from the vanilla base game drop lists rather than adding something to the drop lists.
Wow Kinggath, you have your fingers in a lot pies ATM... I hope you don't get burned out, as I love you playthrough and SS is the only thing that keeps me in F4: So I want to see that continued developing too! (Yes, yes "Greedy fans want EVERYTHING" :D)
I'm not satisfied unless every moment of my time is filled. ;) Plus, the more people involved in modding, the more likely we can find me a successor if I burn out! ( he's got regal puns! )
When you said "there isn't a great collection of tricks people of learned..." Yes, yes sir you hit the nail on the invisible head. Thank....you...so much!
This looks absolutely awesome King, and incredibly well thought through! That production quality 👀 I'll certainly be keeping my eyes open for the videos on scripting 😉
Thank you so much!! I have been interested in modding since I started playing ARK, several years ago, but Fallout 4 really pushed my urge to mod! I have been trying and watching videos for over a year now. People either don't explain it properly or just race thru the video. I Thank you very much for these!!!
this has been a great series for learning modding thank you for taking your time & covering as much as you can. My plan is to learn the fundamentals for when Starfield's creation kit is released.
You're a great teacher. I'm a creative writer, but I flunked out of programming in the middle of game development school years and years ago, so I'm excited to maybe overcome old challenges and see if this is one direction that I still may want to go in. It sucked being a kid wanting to make games as an adult and realizing I wasn't going to be able to get there and hit a brick wall, but I want to try again. Hopefully I learn some good stuff this time, especially now that I don't have to worry about grades. :) Thanks!
i might finally be able to make the settlement items i've wanted to make for ages, also the editing and animation level on display are amazing, it feels like a video someone paid a lot of money to commission.
I have been wanting to find this! Thank you! I've been learning more about mods just from poking around FO4Edit, but that's a steep learning curve. I'm looking forward to watching your series
Bethesda should promote this series to promote modding in their games. Once you learn to mod one of their games, it makes modding the rest easy adjustment.
I have been looking everywhere for a tutorial on how to mod the weather cycles without much luck. If you could cover that in this series, that would be great!
I know this video is old so you probably won’t even see this but, thank you. I’ve been playing fallout 4 for years and fell in love with it despite its shortcomings in certain areas. I would always come across things that I wished I could do throughout the game. I was always coming up with these great ideas in my head for mods and questlines but I was always a bit scared to get into it all. I never really looked into the fallout 4 “creating” of mods scene because it all seemed ridiculously complicated. After watching your videos however I can’t thank you enough. Honestly speechless, thank you Kinggath!
I'm just starting your series but thank you so much for your videos and info. This is something I've wanted to do for so long and Conqueror motivated me. Thank you again.
Excellent, I was watching Kris Takahashi's mod tutorials which are great as well, but it's perfect to have another video series that I'll be able to check out.
I'm actually trying midding Fallout 4 rn. I'll learn everything i can and see if i can make a decent story mod later on. I've got a few ideas, but i'll definently need a lot of knowledge and help.
Well here I go. I have to say your SS2 mod has really inspired me to dive into this and is the major reason I continue to play FO4. I hope I'll be able to remain motivated and finish the series as I hope to be able to contribute to SS2. I've been playing around with Blender for almost 5 years now and consider myself to be an intermediate 3D modelling artist. I know most people use 3ds Max but I'm hoping to find a Blender 3D workflow out there after I'm done with this series or maybe sooner.
Ive always wanted to mod but it's very difficult to get a comprehensive guide for even simple things! I know your charismatic way of explaining things it gonna make a huge difference and II will be becoming a patron asap!
My best mod project so far was tweaking the AI of Neverwinter Nights monsters. I worked about 2 months on that, creating orders and conditions, and ended up with a fairly decent creeps, that used their abilities much better than the original idiots. The only drawback was that more than 3 monsters on a map made the game horrificly slow. So Kinggath, please don't forget about optimisation.
So I have been going over my mods that I am using on my current playthrough and I am at the level now where I can fix most issues with basic armor mods and tweak existing stuff so that it is as near perfect as the engine will allow. I love what you are doing for the community and I am exited to dive into this series. I think its time for me to build some mods for err body I have some great ideas that I am looking forward to sharing with you all.
are the videos that are going to follow going to cover how to use NifSkope, because i know that it used in conjunction with .Nif files (never mind...i just didnt watch far enough in) i am looking forward to this series
Hey, first of all I appreciate you doing this for the community, also thank you so much. I was wondering have you made a video on putting a unique model into the game? I wanna build a mod over time to try and add a smithy, swords and shields and separating the melee weapons of the game into that thing. I’ve done some small stuff like setting up a new non voiced box with tutorials I’ve seen from yourself and some others. I have not actually uploaded anything yet sadly, waiting until I make something (even something small) that I’m really proud of
Putting unique models that are already nifs is pretty straightforward and has been covered indirectly in a few tutorials. If the models are in some other software, then no - I haven't yet covered 3ds Max work for exporting models to the nif format (at least not at the time of this message... I will eventually)
I’m 15 and I love to come up with stories and characters and to draw and I have SO many ideas and a few really good ones but I don’t have time or skills for this😕🤷🏻♂️
Have you tried the Steam version of CK yet? I installed it last week and was working fine but now when I open CK, i'm missing all of the windows except for render. in the view tab all are ticked too. Is steam doing an update on it because now my CK is useless. I haven't changed anything in CK to alter it's program either.
Is sim settlements the most ambitious/largest mod ever made for bethesda game? (barring of course dlc mods like bruma) I honestly have never seen such a complex and large mod ever before
Much of what I teach here will be relevant. Once you get the hang of modding FO4, you should have the knowledge to fill in the gaps from tutorials for other BGS games. Half the battle is just knowing the questions to ask, and hopefully I can get everyone there.
The only problem many of the instructional videos on modding that I saw when I was learning is that often, to the person making the tutorial, "X" thing is so simple and obvious that it doesn't bear explanation. "X" thing is an absolute necessity before starting. Yes, "X" thing is simple, but not so obvious to a complete newbie. You sound like you've done the instructor thing before, though. :)
How often do you use xEdit to mod? right now that is the only tool I really know, that and a bit of nifskope, the creation kit seems to be a little offputting and always crashes.
I use XEdit for specific tasks, but never to do what I would consider modding. That I do almost exclusively in the CK. XEdit is great for automation, bulk entry, and low level data things - but is terrible as a design tool or to set up dialogue, quests, or manage script related things.
DON'T FIGHT THE SYSTEM Render it Obsolete🤔: - GENERATE Our Own Energy. - STORE Our Own Energy. - CREATE Our Own Energy Currencies. - SAVE Our Own Selves. SUPPORT DECENTRALIZED, ENERGY ECONOMIES FTW....
So a company that turns out crap products and takes advantage of its customers' blind loyalty is okay as long as it...what, pays the employees a standard wage? If it wasn't for EA being even bigger d*cks, F76 will be in the text books on launch failure.

I love this idea! Maybe I'll finally take the plunge and make a mod. Also, the editing on this video was really impressive. Props to your editors

low key was wanting a series like this all week and here it is!!

Yes! This i what i needed, i can't wait to give something back to the community.

Watching your Mod School videos and loading up Fallout 4 so I can get ready for Starfield! Are you still on simsetlements forum?
WOOO Class is in!
I know Creative Kit is good for both Skyrim and FO, so sorry if this question is dumb. Would this series be good for learning Skyrim modding?
Do you think you can please upload videos on modding Fallout 4 custom race with ported face mesh from a video game character?
Will this series cover HUD mods too?

So If i want make a mod like terminator mod for fallout 4 i can do it right
Benjamin Young yes but if you look on nexus you’ll find a bunch of terminator mods. Idk if the mod is for you or for popularity
