In the game world, "Skyrim" is full of such things that after so many years I want to change, and modders are engaged in this business. Changes may relate to nature (water, surface textures and colors), game characters, the main character or his equipment. Some may even concern the reconstruction of cities or the addition of new satellites and missions. Below you can find out how to make Skyrim mods.
Program for creating mods
How to make Skyrim mods? The answer is simple - Creation Kit. This program was created so that enthusiasts could transform the game world of Skyrim at their discretion. So, in order to understand how to make Skyrim mods, you need to download and install this program.
Most importantly, this method of editing the game is in no way affected by the fact that the pirated version of the game is used or licensed.
Short introduction
In the game folder is a file called SkyrimEditor.ini, and you must open it using Notepad. In manual mode or using a key combination, look for a line called bBlockMessageBoxes = 0 and replace the value "0" with the value "1".
Now it's time to launch the editor itself. After starting it, you need to select the path File-Data, where the program will offer to put a checkmark in front of the desired item. Attention should be paid to Skyri.esm and Update.esm. If there is a goal to edit the add-on files, then it is worth putting a mark in front of them too. Below we confirm our actions with the Ok button.
After that, you should wait a little, as the editor will upload the game files to its database. You can find out about the end of the download by looking in the lower right corner, where Done appears.
Then there is access to three windows at once, the first of which is responsible for the items in the game and their storage location. The second window opens the game and allows you to see the finished object already in the game itself. The third window is the most global, as it displays all the locations in the game: cities, caves, and so on.
Each file has its own ID, so navigating the program will not be difficult. Here's how to make do-it-yourself Skyrim mods.
Initialization Errors
Many users often wonder what to do if Skyrim does not see the mod. In fact, there can be many reasons for this - from poor assembly of the modification to the faulty hardware.
In order to understand what to do when Skyrim does not see the fashion, you need to check a few things:
- Version of the game.
- Software update.
- Build quality.
- The performance of the modification and its integrity.
Check
When there is a problem with connecting modifications, you should pay attention to the version of the game. The fact is that mods are created for a specific version of the game, so you need to carefully read the description for it before installing it. Note. Usually, if the game is old, like Skyrim, then the mods have long been updated to the latest version. If Skyrim does not see mods, what to do - we will find out further.
If you do not update the video card drivers in a timely manner, then the game may crash and crash. Sometimes, for this reason, Skyrim crashes due to mods. What to do? First check the relevance of the driver.
Together with any game, the “Installation Wizard” or “Network Client” download additional software. Such as DirectX and Visual C ++. You always need to check the box so that the game installs the software, otherwise there will be problems not only with the mods, but with the whole game.
When a game is downloaded from a third-party site, and not purchased in a store, a question may arise about the quality of the repack assembly. The fact is that many repackers poorly "pack" their games, and this can cause a lot of problems.
The mods themselves can also be the cause of crashes and freezes. For starters, you should read reviews about the desired modification, and if users are satisfied, then you can install it. You must carefully read the installation rules and its order. A common reason that no mods are detected is an incorrect installation. To avoid this problem, just use the mod manager.
After the mod files have been transferred, you need to start the game and in the launcher see the name of the mod. If the desired object is found, it is necessary to put a checkmark in front of it, activating it.
And the last thing to remember: some modifications may not be compatible with each other. Most often, these are the modes that affect the gameplay itself: body repeaters, finishing animations, and others.
