Because I've barely touched the game since installing the CK . Seriously, only when you have spent a few hours with this tool can you really begin to appreciate the absolutely colossal amount of work put into this game. It's mind-boggling.

Anyway, I think only DLC will tear me away from the CK at this point, and probably only for as long as it takes me to experience all the new content.

I'm happy to leave modding to those with more talent and inspiration (not to mention motivation) than myself.

I agree. While I'm waiting for the bugs to be ironed out before I release anything, it's incredible how detailed and complex the game actually is.

I'm itching to delve into the Kit and make ... something, I have so many ideas but they're all way too grand to start when I have little experience in anyhting like this. I'm slowly working my way through the tutorial videos, but it's a lot to take in!

Haha, you'll feel like that in the beginning. What you're doing is the right thing to do. Take your time, learn things bit by bit. Make a little mod, flesh it out, then try your own ideas. Slowly move on to more complex and advanced things, but be prepared to scrap what you thought was a great mod idea 2 days ago
