The Add-On Maker's Toolkit is a series of guides and helper files to make creating Add-On mods for Sim Settlements 2 as easy as can be; even for people who have never modded before!

What's Included?
No Experience Necessary, Really?
My method of writing tutorials is to focus on explicit steps, so that there is no ambiguity, just do exactly what it tells you and you'll make it through to a completed addon! I avoid using terms without defining them, and never assume you know anything I haven't shown you in a previous guide.
Throughout these tutorials, whenever we come across a subject someone might not know, I either take the time to explain it, or I link to a video where you can learn precisely what you need.
For those who have never modded, there is a Guided Series for learning to make buildings, that even covers the basics of installing the Creation Kit and points to a video to quickly get you up to speed on navigating around it.
Almost every single Add-on Pack author for Sim Settlements 1 had never modded a day in their life, so if you're looking for a path to learn - this has proven to be a great one!
