[edit] Overview

It is best to read the Object Creation section before attempting Object Modding tutorials, as they will often assume familiarity with object structure which you learn in those tutorials.

There are three main categories of this section, Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced. If you are fairly new to Object Modding, then the best option is to take a look at the beginner section first, as some of the techniques used and explained in the Beginner section may be needed for more advanced tutorials.

Whenever you follow a tutorial, you should follow the tutorial to the letter. Object Modding can be a very complicated procedure no matter what you're doing, and missing out a whole section or just a few numbers could lead to disaster.

[edit] Modding InfoCenter

'Modding Info Center' threads are not tutorials: they are intended to help average-experienced object creators performing specific tasks, or to give users a deeper in-sight on specific modding-related subjects. So, don't expect to find step-by-step explanations, to be performed "blindly".
