I've uploaded a tutorial on converting things in the Creation Kit to one of two kinds of SCOLs and then into workshop objects - happy modding!
Howdy!
Have you ever wanted to create your own workshop menu? Or add custom items to one? With this tutorial, you'll learn how!
This tutorial will show you how to:
Create and understand the structure of Fallout 4's workshop menus and categories
Create constructible objects
Create menu icons for custom menus
This tutorial goes into explicit detail with diagrams, screenshots, etc. and assumes the reader of the guide has little-to-no prior knowledge of using FO4edit.
New modders are welcomed and encouraged!
Included in the download section is the PDF of this tutorial and a tutorial plugin I created. The tutorial plugin is extra helpful for those not already familiar with the process of creating a custom workshop menu, but is not technically necessary. It is, however, highly recommended for those learning for the first time.
