Fallout 4 Modding: Custom Weapons
This is a living document - The tutorial is always in a finished state and end with a working mod. However, at anytime, methods of creation outlined in the tutorial may be changed to reflect a more modern/improved workflow.
This document was originally created as a script for my YouTube video where I go over how to make a weapon mod for Fallout 4. If you’re a visual learner you can find the video to go along with this document here: https://youtu.be/uIVApuk9rdk
This took forever to make, Fallout 4 is a finicky little game, don’t be discouraged if it gives you some problems! I’m hoping that this tutorial is straightforward enough that you don’t have nearly as much trouble as I did while trying to figure this out!
Hope this helps you! If you want to see more tutorials you can check out my YouTube channel where I make modding tutorials for a bunch of other games like SSE and Morrowind (and Starfield when it comes out!). ~ Noah Longfellow
