I just want to say I've been a lurker for years, but modding skyrim (or the possibility of it) has convinced me to come out from the shadows. I was a huge mod user for both Morrowind and Oblivin, but never really made anything. I know the CK hasn't released yet, but do any of you experienced Morrowind and oblivion modders have any tips about things I can learn that don't involve the CK, so I can prep for modding the poop out Of Skyrim?

If you're that eager to get started, maybe check out the kit for Fallout or Oblivion. Skyrim's is likely to be similar. You could even just read around on their Bethesda wikis.

Same here I've been a long time user this time around I'll become a creator
