Welcome to the Creation Kit Tutorials

Modding can be a complex and daunting prospect with any tool, and the Creation Kit is no exception. This tutorials section is designed to help you get started regardless of your level of experience and area of interest.

The Complete Beginner

If you're brand new to modding, or just brand new to modding for Bethesda Game Studios' titles, start here, where you'll get basic instructions for installing and navigating the Creation Kit. You may also wish to browse the general editor reference pages to get an idea for some of the terminology and concepts used throughout this wiki. Once you're comfortable with the tool and ready to get to work, try jumping into one of the tutorial projects on the right.

The Veteran Modder

If you're experienced in modding for Morrowind, Oblivion, Fallout 3 or Fallout: New Vegas, the Creation Kit will feel very familiar to you, as the data format and tools are shared between those games and the Creation Engine. You may wish to start by browsing some of the new features the Creation Kit offers. While some of the tutorials may be covering ground you already understand, keep an eye out for this symbol, which indicates when a tutorial is using new functionality.

As a veteran modder, your expertise is especially valuable in contributing to the modding community and this wiki! Please consider writing your own tutorials, editing pages, and contributing solutions to common modding tasks and problems.

The Level Designer

Do you want to create exciting new areas for players to explore? Building new gameplay space is a great way to expand the game for players, as well as a great way to learn the Creation Kit. Check out the level design tutorial series, written by the BGS level design team, to learn how to create your own dungeon from scratch. While this tutorial series is designed as a complete project, example files are provided at each step - so you can jump around if only specific topics interest you.

The Quest Designer

Perhaps you want to create stories that unfold for the player? Quests are core to the RPG experience, and a valuable storytelling tool. The BGS quest designers have prepared a quest design tutorial series to get you started writing dialogue and using the quest tools offered by the Creation Kit. As with the level design series, these tutorials take you through a complete quest project, but example files are provided at each step. If you are totally new to designing quests, see the Fallout 4 Simple Fetch Quest, which provides a detailed step-by-step guide to the most common kind of quest.

The Scripter

Want to create content above and beyond what can be achieved with conventional tools? The Creation Kit comes packaged with an all-new scripting language known as "Papyrus". Papyrus is similar to popular scripting languages like Ruby and Python, and offers an unprecedented level of power to modders of Bethesda games.

Because Papyrus is an entirely new tool, and a complex one, this wiki features an entire scripting reference, as well as tutorials to help you get started. Familiarity with other scripting languages will offer a considerable advantage, but is not required.

The Visual Learner

Much of the work you'll do in the Creation Kit is visual in nature. Sometimes something just doesn't click until you see it being done. Thankfully, there are a number of Video Tutorials produced by Bethesda and the Creation Kit modding community to help you out.

Miscellaneous

Throughout these tutorials, the following symbols will be used to call out different kinds of special notes. Take note of the symbols associated with each type of callout box: you may wish to take special note of certain type in particular, depending on your expertise level.

This symbol indicates a new tool or technique that users of previous Bethesda toolsets may want to take note of.

These notes will go in depth to explain a term or the reasoning behind a specific technique. Most users can skim these notes, but advanced users may wish to come back and study them later.

These are helpful tips and shortcuts. They are often useful for speeding up workflow after learning the basics.

These are quick warnings - gotchas, common errors and stuff to watch out for.

-Modding kann komplex und erschreckend interessant mit jedem Tool sein, und das Creation Kit ist keine Ausnahme. Dieser Tutorials-Bereich wurde so gehalten, dir bei deinem Einstieg zu helfen, ganz gleich welche Erfahrung du hast und welche Bereiche dich interessieren.
+Modding can be a complex and daunting prospect with any tool, and the Creation Kit is no exception.  This tutorials section is designed to help you get started regardless of your level of experience and area of interest.
+===The Complete Beginner===
+If you're brand new to modding, or just brand new to modding for Bethesda Game Studios' titles, [[:Category:Getting_Started|start here]], where you'll get basic instructions for installing and navigating the Creation Kit.  You may also wish to browse the general [[:Category:Editor_Reference|editor reference pages]] to get an idea for some of the terminology and concepts used throughout this wiki.  Once you're comfortable with the tool and ready to get to work, try jumping into one of the tutorial projects on the right.
-===Der Anfänger===
+===The Veteran Modder===
-Wenn du noch nie gemoddet hast oder du noch nie einen Mod für einen Bethesda Game Studios' Titel wie z. B. Oblivion gemacht hast, [[:Category:Getting_Started|fang hier an]], wo du Anleitungen zur Installation und der Steuerung des Creation Kit's erhältst. Du solltest auch die grundlegende [[:Category:Editor_Reference|Vezeichnisseite]] besuchen, um einen Eindruck von einigen Grundlagen und Konzepten zu bekommen die in dieser Wiki verwendet werden. Sobald du dich mit dem Tool ein wenig zurecht gefunden hast und bereit bist um loszulegen, probiere doch einfach eines der Tutorialprojekte auf der rechten Seite.
+If you're experienced in modding for ''Morrowind, Oblivion, Fallout 3'' or ''Fallout: New Vegas'', the Creation Kit will feel very familiar to you, as the data format and tools are shared between those games and the Creation Engine.  You may wish to start by browsing some of the [[What%27s_New%3F|new features]] the Creation Kit offers.  While some of the tutorials may be covering ground you already understand, keep an eye out for this symbol, which indicates when a tutorial is using new functionality.

+As a veteran modder, your expertise is especially valuable in contributing to the modding community and this wiki!  Please consider writing your own tutorials, editing pages, and contributing [[Solutions|solutions]] to common modding tasks and problems.
-Wenn du erfahren bist im Mods erstellen für ''Morrowind, Oblivion, Fallout 3'' oder ''Fallout: New Vegas'', wird dir das Creation Kit sehr bekannt vorkommen, da das Dateiformat, die Tools und die Creation Engine relativ gleich geblieben sind. Villeicht möchtest du erst mal die [[What%27s_New%3F|neuen Funktionen]] entdecken die das Creation Kit zu bieten hat. Da einige der Tutorials Sachverhalte behandeln die du bereits kennst, halte Ausschau nach diesem Symbol welches anzeigt, dass ein Tutorial neue Funktionen nutzt. [[Image:NewFeature.jpg|32px]]
-Als ein erfahrener Modder ist dein Fachwissen von hohem Wert für die Moddergemeinschaft und diese Wiki! Bitte ziehe es in Betracht deine eigenen Tutorials zu schreiben, Seiten zu bearbeiten und [[Solutions|Lösungen]] für häufige Moddingaufgaben und Probleme bereitzustellen.
+===The Level Designer===
+Do you want to create exciting new areas for players to explore?  Building new gameplay space is a great way to expand the game for players, as well as a great way to learn the Creation Kit.  Check out the [[Bethesda_Tutorial_Layout_Part_1|level design tutorial series]], written by the BGS level design team, to learn how to create your own dungeon from scratch.  While this tutorial series is designed as a complete project, example files are provided at each step - so you can jump around if only specific topics interest you.
-===Der Level Designer===
+===The Quest Designer===
-Möchtest du spannende neue Gebiete erstellen, die andere Spieler entdecken können? Neue Spielgebiete zu entwickeln ist eine tolle Möglichkeit das Spiel für andere Spieler zu erweitern und dabei das Creation Kit besser zu verinnerlichen. Besuche die [[Bethesda_Tutorial_Layout_Part_1|leveldesign Tutorials]], welche vom BGS leveldesign Team geschrieben wurden, um zu lernen wie man einen eigenen Dungeon von Grund auf erbauen kann. Da diese Tutorials als ein komplettes Projekt gedacht sind, sind für jeden Schritt Beispieldateien enthalten. So kannst du auch nur die Themen nutzen, die dich interessieren.
+Perhaps you want to create stories that unfold for the player?  Quests are core to the RPG experience, and a valuable storytelling tool.  The BGS quest designers have prepared a [[Bethesda_Tutorial_Planning_the_Quest|quest design tutorial series]] to get you started writing dialogue and using the quest tools offered by the Creation Kit.  As with the level design series, these tutorials take you through a complete quest project, but example files are provided at each step. If you are totally new to designing quests, see the [[Fallout_4_Simple_Fetch_Quest_Tutorial_Chapter_1:_One_Time_Startup|Fallout 4 Simple Fetch Quest]], which provides a detailed step-by-step guide to the most common kind of quest.

+===The Scripter===
-Möchtest du villeicht neue Geschichten für andere Spieler entwerfen? Quests sind der Kern des Rollenspielerlebnisses und ein wertvolles Tool um Stories zu erzählen. Die BGS Questdesigner haben [[Bethesda_Tutorial_Planning_the_Quest|questdesign Tutorials]] erstellt, um dir das Schreiben von Dialogen und das Benutzen der Questtools die im Creation Kit enthalten sind, näher zu bringen. Genau wie die leveldesign Tutorials sind diese Tutorials als komplettes Projekt ausgelegt worden, Beispieldateien liegen aber dennoch jedem Schritt bei.
+Want to create content above and beyond what can be achieved with conventional tools? The Creation Kit comes packaged with an all-new scripting language known as '''"Papyrus"'''.  Papyrus is similar to popular scripting languages like Ruby and Python, and offers an unprecedented level of power to modders of Bethesda games.
-===Der Scripter===
+Because Papyrus is an entirely new tool, and a complex one, this wiki features an entire [[:Category:Papyrus|scripting reference]], as well as [[:Category:Bethesda_Scripting_Tutorial_Series|tutorials]] to help you get started.  Familiarity with other scripting languages will offer a considerable advantage, but is not required.
-Möchtest du Inhalte kreiren die jenseits dessen sind, was mit den herkömmlichen Tools zu erreichen ist? Das Creation Kit wurde bepackt mit der nagelneuen Scriptsprache '''"Papyrus"'''. Papyrus ist bekannten Scriptsprachen wie Ruby oder Python sehr ähnlich und legt eine noch nie dagewesenes Leistungsfähigkeit ind die Hände der Modder von Bethesda spielen.
-Weil Papyrus ein ganz neues Tool ist und komplex noch dazu, gibt es in der Wiki eine komplette [[:Category:Papyrus|Scriptingreferenz]] und die dazugehörigen [[:Category:Bethesda_Scripting_Tutorial_Series|Scriptingtutorials]] um dir bei deinem Einstieg zu helfen. Ähnlichkeiten zu anderen Scriptsprachen bieten hier einen guten Vorteil, sind aber nicht benötigt um die Tutorials durchlaufen zu können.

+Much of the work you'll do in the Creation Kit is visual in nature.  Sometimes something just doesn't click until you see it being done.  Thankfully, there are a number of [[Video Tutorials]] produced by Bethesda and the Creation Kit modding community to help you out.
