Hello everyone! I'm jumarbye and I've only been modding - Skyrim mostly, Oblivion a tiny bit - since July or August....so I'm still kind of a newb.
I started out downloading mods from Steam & the Nexus pretty much willy-nilly, so, surprise! I've had to reload Skyrim and my mod manager, etc a few times.
Sooo now I'm trying to use mods more intelligently - ahem - and seem to be doing better (I've actually been able to play for a whole hour without crashing-whooo!), but what I really want is to create mods to personalize my game experience and to share with others, since others have been so kind as to share their mods with me (& everyone else). And of course I want to be able to mod my game so that it's stable. I'm running about 170 mods, and I'm pushing my poor potato to its limits.
I was terrified of using the ck, but now I've learned enough that I can change the appearances of some of the game's NPCs and create a follower; it was a long, hard process. Fortunatetly there are a lot of good videos out there about creating with the ck and the powers of using TES5Edit - yay youtube!
I just learned about this site recently (ummm, today), and it seems like a really good forum for learning. I'm really looking forward to learning and contributing. Thank you for letting me join!
