Hey everyone,

I have developed an interest in understanding how mods work & want to start creating my own for some of my favorite games. I want advice and insights from those of you who have been active in the game modding community for a while.

What tools or software would you suggest for a beginner?? Are there any must have programs for modding specific game genres or engines?

Are there any pitfalls or rookie mistakes I should watch out for as I begin??

I want to hear about any cool projects you have worked on or tips that helped you improve your skills.

I came across a few resources during my research but I want to hear about any tutorials, guides or personal experiences you have found helpful.

I am also curious if tools like the splunk tool have any practical applications in game modding or if it is something unrelated in this context.

Thank you.
