I got started by looking at something I wanted to change and then just dove into the files. Not to change them but to look at them and see how everything works together. Then I looked at sh3/4 mods to see how they achieved something similar to what I wanted and made the changes I wanted.. then comes the testing phase!
I'm almost mad at myself that I started modding. If sh5 had a counter on how many times I've booted it up i'd be close to 500+ by now. Sometimes modding is so damn frustrating and I have to make small incremental changes until I find out exactly what's causing it to not work how the files are set, and after each small change I have to boot up sh5 and either start a new campaign because loading a saved game doesn't work with some changes, or load up a mission i've made for the testing.
If I'd had a good enough computer when sh3 and sh4 came out for me to mod then I probably would have with those 2 also. All in all I'm having fun finding out how the game ticks but there's many things that are hardcoded or can't be changed and just makes me want to
