Here’s what you’re going to do with it: Grab one of the corners and shrink it down as small as it will go and then drag that window off to a corner and never think about it again ( unless something unexplainable happens - but it will be awhile before you can recognize what’s unexplainable since this is all going to feel like voodoo for a while!) The first window is the Warnings window.After it loads the files you will end up with a bunch of windows similar to the below image.

This could take a bit of time, so be patient. The CK will now load the Fallout 4 game files. When the above window is displayed, double-click Fallout4.esm to select it and press OK.Start by clicking File->Data at the top left.Please be patient with this software, it can be a little slow at times.

Let’s get the Creation Kit (CK from now on) open and I’ll introduce you to all it’s pieces. May even be worth printing out some of it.īy the time you finish this guide and complete the tutorial series, you will officially be a modder! A lot of the things you learn building for Sim Settlements will carry over and allow you to create new mods for not only Fallout 4, but Skyrim as well. Keep this document handy as I’ve tried to design in a way that you can use it as Quick Reference while you’re going through the other tutorials. In the meantime, a Discord channel has been set up for people to hang out and work on Sim Settlements projects! Even if you don’t follow along, but just watch and listen, it will all start to click!Īt some point I will release a series of videos where I essentially go through my own tutorial series so you guys can watch it happen. If you’d prefer to only watch tutorials about Fallout, I’d recommend videos by Seddon4494.īoth of those youtubers are very thorough and keep things simple. His tutorials are actually for Skyrim, but the Creation Kit used for Skyrim is nearly identical to that for Fallout so a lot of the same lessons apply. Note: If it’s still intimidating after going through this, watch some of the tutorials by darkfox127. This guide is going to teach you some quick tips on navigating the Creation Kit.
