Heya, brand new to TESA, and been getting more into Skyrim modding. Watched a ton of the CK videos, checked out STEP on the subject, got the whole 32bit papyrus thing working, but having a hard time getting info on some basic modding using CK via MO. Few questions...
1) I cant find all the vanilla Skyrim meshes in CK, and I assume that's because I need to unpack the main Skyrim Meshes BSA to be able to view and use them?
1a) If that is correct, where do I extract the Skyrim Meshes file to...there's no "skyrim" folder in my MO "mods" folder. Do I create a new "Skyrim" folder there and add Meshes file (or add as a mod to MO), or do I create a Meshes folder in my Skyrim Apps/Skyrim/data folder as that's where the Skyrim meshes BSA is located?
1b) If I unpack these meshes will that screw up anything...load order overwriting, etc?
...same question as above for the DLC BSA also in the Skyrim folder...
Also, wondering if there's a way to find an experienced modder as a mentor...searching through the numerous videos/blogs/forums normally eventually works, but I'm an impatient guy
Thanks!
Jeff
