Current Tutorials:
1. How to get an item to be worn over other clothing (E.g Gas Masks with helmets, accessories over clothing) by editing the First Person Flags. This same method is used for Skyrim, FNV, and probably Fallout 3 as well.
-Heres a link to another users mini-tutorial that also includes some photos (Sticky post #4 under spoilers). https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/37256?tab=posts
2. Fixing Creation Club paints not showing by re-adding the paints keywords caused by outdated/conflicting mods.
3. Removing AWKCR and AE from other mods so that they don't require them. I've been told the newer versions of FO4 Edit don't allow removing of masters find an older version (Im not sure how far back).
4. Making custom categories for crafting menus. Can be used for Skyrim to.
