From what you've said, I see no reason why you can't become a good modder. I certainly don't consider myself to be a good one--I just tweak things and sometimes I get lucky. Racerboy gave you some great material to read through and Ducimus gave you Excellent advice. Most of all, remember that...

...There's always room for another good modder !

Wishing you success and--most of all--Enjoyment with your goals!!!

Does i have to be a computer expert to do this? i think of programming and that stuff......?

Depends on what you want to do. Some tedious tasks can be automated if you know how to code, but there are already some tools available that can be used for basic and more advanced stuff (like mine, see sig., also see one of the stickies for more mod tools). No need to reinvent the wheel. I suggest you first browse/search the boards first for info, and start by picking apart existing mods to get an idea of what can be done. Creating a new boat is not really all too easy yet, so you may want to start small first. Then again, never hurts to set a challenge...

[edit] lol, basically I could've just said, 'what Ducimus said!'

@Bulkhead

A good place to start, other then picking apart a small mod to see how it ticks, is to find something that annoys you to no end, and start looking into that. An annoyance, i find, is a huge motivator.

Its also usually really good to be able to focus on just one thing at a time. Primarly because there alot of trial and error testing - ALOT of it. If you can't figure out how to "fix" that one thing you find annoying, - find a mod that DOES fix that item, and reverse engineer that so you can see what was done.
