It's probably a bit much to try and go over in the comments. But if you head over to the discord, there's a modding channel where I could help give some pointers and go over questions

I dont understand the npc actor stuff at all, i am trying to make my own npc with its own dialog. but it just keeps not working. any tips on how to make a npc?

Thanks for this resource! Really looking forward to something bite-sized to dip my feet into modding this game. ❤️

holly shit just finished yesterday watching your youtube guide thank you so much for putting all this effort

Thanks for this! Don't know if I'll ever make anything but I'll look into it.
