For object mods (weapon and armor upgrades in-game) make sure to have the right attach point and the right mod association keyword (the one you made above). Test everything added, on creatures and walls, just to be sure it is working as intended.ДЈb. I know this may seem obvious but test thoroughly. Also when modifying damage (and other variables) use the mul+add function rather than the add so it uses your base weapon's stats correctly Set can be used if you want some thing to stay at one value such as the ammo count.Д¤. Also add keywords as needed for desired naming (I'd loo in the dn_CommonGun for what keywords add what bit to the name or define the yourself in your own naming instance. For the weapon object itself make sure to put down the right keywords and make a new mod association keyword (selectable in drop down when making a new keyword) for just that weapon so your object mods apply only to that weapon.ДЈb. (MyMod_ConstructableObject_Fishystick01).ДЈa. Name you new records consistently makes them easier to find and much more organized. Editing it make is partially incompatible with other mods like Valdacil's sorting, they both work just the naming feature of Valdacil's won't work if you override it with you own mod.Дў.

If you use only vanilla keywords and are happy with that just use it as is. Specifically, adding to dn_CommonGun should be avoided and you should instead make a new naming instance if you want to add anything. Try to edit as few vanilla records as possible when adding new items. Also I'd recommend using one of the various FOMOD creation tools if you plan on doing one, it ends up saving quite a bit of time.ДЎ. You'll need NifSkope to edit the meshes so the mods attach to the right points, though I haven't done much mesh editing to know how. I'd recommend getting FO4Edit so you can clean your mod of any dirty edits or reverse any changes you may have not wanted to make. I use the CK to do most of the work adding items and whatnot.

If there are any other tools that I'll need in order to learn how to create great mods, I'd very much appreciate any advice anyone with modding experience can give me or point me to, as I've not been able to find much on the Creation Kit's functions on Youtube or the internet in general.

I've downloaded NifSkope, as I heard I'll need that. Depending upon how well my mods turn out and what the response on the nexus is, it's possible that I would recreate the entire Gun Runners Arsenal. I want to take the hunting shotgun and the assault carbine and port them into FO4, fully functioning with all their mods and sound effects, along with updated textures. (Let's face it, FNV's weapons beat the hell out of all of F04's in practically every conceivable aspect.) What I'm really wanting to do is to essentially retexture some of the weapons in The Gun Runner's Arsenal from Fallout New Vegas and add them to FO4. I'd like to know if anyone would be willing to point me in the right direction for learning how to create completely custom weapons and put them into fallout 4.
