I plan to try opening the F4 master files with the Creation Kit (Skyrim's GECK), but I'm not going to bother trying to create mods (just wanna have a look inside, if possible).
#How to use tes5edit on fallout 4 mod#
I see no way to create a mod or even look inside a cell without a development interface.
Within it, you can place pre-canned or NifScope created/edited references, insert sounds and create scripts and cells, then package them all up as a mod file that FNVedit or Wrye Bash can do something with. The GECK is your actual development interface. * Wrye Bash is a mod load order and condenser tool. I've rarely used FNVedit, but I believe it can unpack BSA's. One is the original and the other is the Auto Clean. The TESV Edit should have two applications when you download and extract the files. If NifSkope can open a F4 ref file, you can get a look at things, though first you have to unpack them using another tool. All you're basically doing is adding an argument to the shortcut. * NifSkope is for creating and editing wireframe references and applying sounds and textures to them, but it doesn't add them to the game. Though I suppose you could use them to delete references (i.e. * TES5Edit and FNVedit are for "cleaning" dirty mods and a few other minor things. Unfortunately, you can't use those tools to make mods. He said the new tools will be released in early 2016, so unfortunately, we will have to wait a few months after the game's release to get them.īut fret not! TES5EDIT, NifSkope and I'm sure Wrye Bash will all be updated to work shortly after release, so you can expect mods as soon as those are uploaded.
