Welcome to the Modding Questions forum
Learning to mod
If you’re interested in learning to modify your game then read through some of the tutorials on the Scriptorium (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/forumdisplay.php?f=77) and have a go at following one that captures your interest. Once you've done those you'll start to get an idea of how things tie together and what can and can’t be accomplished.
After you’ve followed a few tutorials have a read through what other posters have written on the Modding Questions (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/forumdisplay.php?f=73) forum. There you can read the answers to many common modding questions. You can also view the Modding Questions forum archive (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/archive/index.php/f-73-p-1.html) where you will find every single thread posted here. You may well find that any questions you have have already been answered – plus many more topics that might inspire you as to how you might like to mod your game.
Structure of the modding forums
Mod Downloads (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/forumdisplay.php?f=144)
This subforum mirrors the Mod Downloads area of the Link Manager and is solely for links to modifications which are available for download. New threads cannot be posted straight into the forum and can only be created by adding a new entry to the Mod Downloads section of the Link Manager. Announcements of Mods released may still be placed in Mod Discussion. Mods in development should be posted in the Forge.
Modding Questions (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/forumdisplay.php?f=73):
This subforum is for asking technical questions about modifying the game, but check the Scriptorium first to see if your question has already been answered. Being polite and making your thread title as descriptive as possible will greatly increase a chance of an answer. Discussion of mods, including questions about specific mods, should be posted in Mod Discussion.
Mod Discussion (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/forumdisplay.php?f=119)
This subforum is for all chat, news announcements and discussion about specific mods and the modding community in general. Talk about mods you've enjoyed and read previews from mods still in development.
Forge (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/forumdisplay.php?f=76):
This subforum is solely for developing mods. Each mod in development should limit itself to a single thread in this forum, but may post additional promotional, announcement or recruitment threads in the Mod Discussion forum. Modders should keep their thread updated with the latest supported version of their mod.
Scriptorium (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/forumdisplay.php?f=77):
This subforum is solely for tutorials, tools and guides for modifying your game. Only post a thread here if you are posting a new guide, tutorial or tool. Threads researching modding an aspect of the game in depth are also acceptable. Questions or requests for tutorials should be posted in the Modding Questions forum.
