I want to make a mod, but I simply don't know how. I understand I have to use Rick's Tools as this opens SDS files (I'm not entirely sure what an SDS file is, but it seems like a compression of files) and the SDS files contain textures, scripts, tables etc. However, I do not know what files to edit or how to edit them.


 




The mod I would like to make would allow players to purchase cars from the Diamond Motors shop. I do not initially intend on anything complex or finely detailed. Here is a bit of pseudo code to further explain this idea:


 




Player is within AREA -> Show message("Press E to purchase a car") -> If Player presses E, show MENU -> Player selects a car -> if player has enough money -> money is decreased, car is spawned




-> if player does not have enough money -> show message ("You do not have enough money.")


 




Key:




AREA = Close proximity of Diamond Motors building entrance




MENU = A list of all the cars available for purchase and their price next to them. W and S keys to scroll up and down, E to purchase


 


 




So yeah, any tutorials, tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. By the way, I do not have any experience in modding besides a couple of tweaks in Oblivion.
