Hi Ant,
Sounds like you at the same stage as me with the GECK :wacko: , in currently making a player home for myself and have so far only learned layout, clutter and meshes, i found it easier to load the tutorials available at youtube in one window and load the GECK tutorials in another and just keep watching and reading, admittidly it sent me up the wall at first but just persavere and youll get there with the basics.
would also love to hear some advice from the more experianced modders :tops:
