This is Modding Skyrim: Modders Edition. It is a guidebook on the basics of creating mods for Skyrim yourself. It covers everything from guidelines when creating your mod to publishing it and beyond. It’s incredibly extensive, while remaining a general guide for all types of mod authors. Modding Skyrim: Modders Edition is not necessarily meant to be read all the way through, given its length. Instead, it has an index so you can skip to topics applicable to you, or you can read the entire thing if you’re interested (I’d wholeheartedly support you doing that, but I don’t expect most to do so).
It is intended for both new and old mod authors. If there’s something I said that is factually incorrect, please tell me in the comments. Suggestions are welcomed from all – I want to make this as accurate and informative as possible.
