A beginner's guide

TES IV: Oblivion Modding for Beginners

written by Tom Dawson ("dtom" on Elder Scrolls Forums)

This is a proposed series of Tutorial Lessons aimed at teaching how to mod TES IV: Oblivion aimed at beginners. It will build up into a Complete Modding Course. Don't worry there are no exams, though there is some homework. It is not intended to aid the transfer of modders from Morrowind nor it is intended for experience modders. Although as the series develops you may find something of interest in them.

The reason I feel qualified to write this guide is that I am a beginner myself. I was left dazed and confused by the My First Dungeons tutorial in the Official Wiki, and began handwriting a tutorial for myself. It's just the way I learn things. I thought it might benefit some people if I share it.

The lesson structure will begin by looking at buildings and structure Mods. They will then move on to NPC's, scripting and Quest Writing. Finally they will explore texturing and re-meshing.

It will at times be very simplistic, but as the series develops they will delve deeper into the Construction Set's functions. I have chosen to work from a base knowledge of zero. If this feels a bit like teaching your granny how to suck eggs I apologize.

So if you've never modded before and feel inspired then join me.
