Naming Your Mod

A name for your mod is one of the most important things that a good modder must be able to do, it should achieve the following:

• Tell a person downloading the file something about it
• Be catchy/memorable
• Be unique, there is nothing worse than copying someone else's name, this will also avoid the file conflicting with an unrelated mod.

Setting the Author Name

Another thing you should do before publishing your mod is change the author name from DEFAULT so that everyone knows who created it.
If a modder releases a mod that the community really enjoys then future mods will already have an audience. However if they do not know who created the mods, it is impossible to know
This is done by going to File -> Data... -> In the middle upper region of the Data box you will see Created by. Type the author name here. You can also do this through FNVEdit.

Readme Files

Always give your ReadMe file the same name as your mod's plugin.
Good quality mods always have very informative ReadMe files packaged with them, explaining things such as installation, features and known issues if present.
