Creation Kit (Factions)

Years later and I still come back here for references :).

I didn't quite get what you were talking about in the crime tab. It sounds awesome but I don't know what the buttons are referring to. Members of the faction? The player?

im trying to put the brotherhood in a variety of imperial armor from Gunetwork, and change the institue into the first order. Drives me insane trying to figure this out on fallout 4. Can you do a video explaining how to edit what the NPCs in each faction wears

Is there a way to add a Player to a faction? For instance I'm working on a mod where the Player is part of the Warrens, is there a way to add Player to said faction?

I want to make a edit that prevents spouses from reporting/becoming hostile to werewolves (with the player in mind). Do I have to edit individual NPC or can I edit the marriage faction itself?

You got some cool old school games. Nice one.

how do i make a faction hostile to the player?

few years late but..


Ranks are used mainly for the player to be registered as a higher status within the factions.. example: Mage college has rank 0 as Novice and rank 6 as Archmage. that allows faction members (and sometimes non-faction members) to react to you according to how far you've progressed in the storyline, as well as give you ownership of certain things/places (such as the archmage's quarters and the bed and items within).


pretty sure the ranks can also be used for generic npcs to react to each other (or you, maybe?) differently.. but im not too sure on that.

Is there a way to make a custom race part of a faction? I created a dwarf race and I dont want dwarven automatons to be aggressive to me because i am in theory their master.

When I try to create a faction and put my npcs in it, and place them next to each other in a space so they can attack as a party, they are busy trying to kill each other. Can you please help? Any ideas?

It's for Special Edition btw :)

If I want something different to happen if you're arrested for murder (as opposed to any other crime), should I edit the existing crime faction or create a new one?

Howdy! Love your videos, and I hate to bug with a noob question, but I'm learning the ropes and scouring for something specific, and I'm wondering if you could help point me in the right direction. I'm looking for a script that'll disable an NPC (make it completely inaccessible by the player--make it go poof from the game) once a quest is finished. I'll figure out where to put the script, just need a nudge in the right direction. Thanks for continuing to post updated videos! :D

Alright Darkfox Just stopping by to say i have been watching your tutorials and you have helped me a lot with this. So cheers man.    

howdy darkfox. me again. just wondering if you would be able to help me out with something either by replying or even possibly making a video for anyone else wanting to know how to do it. ive made follower mods before and now ive had quiet a few people say they want me to make myself as a follower and i want to use custom clothing/armor from another mod. how can i put those custom clothes on my custom follower? do just load the clothing/armor mod into the creation kit along with my esp im working on and it will show up in the clothing section of the customizing?
thanks in advance

Hi Darkfox, you mentioned factions controlling dialogue, and hovered the mouse over the bandit faction. Do you know of a way of giving the bandit idle chatter dialogue to a custom faction?
Cheers, and thanks for the tutorials!

I think Player inventory container is for where they put your player owned
items that they take away on arrest.

ranks would be useful if your making a follower in the imperial legion or stormcloaks.
