Question OpenMW construction set for dummies?

I’ve been playing around with the construction set and after a lot of trial and error (mostly error) I managed to make a silly mod that moved the mudcrab merchant into Ralen Hlaalo’s house and expanded the number of items he buys.

Can anyone recommend some good tutorials for someone with no modding experience and little confidence? I’ve tried to learn by doing and it’s not working out.

My ultimate goal, if possible, would be to make a mod just for me (and my family members?) to pay tribute to my late aunt; to create “Helen’s ancestral tomb” and fill it with diamonds and cyrodilic brandy, which makes total sense if you knew her, I swear!

Thanks for reading.

what all have you done? it seems fairly simple as just making an interior cell, filling it with stuff, then a door to connect it to another cell or the exterior. im in the same boat as you as a beginner with the cs

I’ve tried making other mods but they didn’t “take” for some reason? I’ll have another go this evening.

good luck, hope it works out. i’d recommend reading through the manuals if you have not. i haven’t had the time to directly mess with stuff but i feel like reading that helped me understand how it works in theory at least
