I don’t know what happened to me, but all of a sudden I just had a wave of “modding fever”.
First was just Stalker. I read some simple tutorial steps on a forum. I tried modding a new armour. Success, so I tried modding a new weapon. Success too. Then I played and completed Stalker a 2nd time using my modded items.
Well yeah the game became easier cos of my modded stuff which I obtained pretty early on in the game. But that isn’t the point.
So, I re-installed Oblivion, thinking it’s high time I completed the plug-ins like Knight Of The Nine. Since I was downloading stuff, I might as well check out mods for Oblivion… and viola! Modding fever for Oblivion began.
I downloaded a set of “Ninja Armour” for it. Saw the screenshots, and didn’t like the Ninja hood. So I started reading up on Oblivion modding and learnt about how to unpack the meshes, using which tools to view the meshes eg Nifskope, and then finally learn about a 3D modelling tool, Blender. And it’s completely FREE!
So now I just got this fever and starting out on the road to Oblivion modding.
