Noob modder seeking advice

Hello everyone

I did wade through the forums looking for answers to these questions but didn't find anything. Apologies if it's there but I didn't look hard enough.

So I am an Xbox gamer but I've just bought the GOTY edition on steam so that I can start modding.

I am very much at step one at the moment - I have ideas of what I want to make and I've been watching YouTube tutorials and reading the PDFs, but I haven't sat down and tried to create anything yet.

Anyway, what I want to do is make an Addon called Wasteland Wiseguys, and make Triggermen/Mafia themed plots.

The majority of what I have planned is pretty straight-forward, but there are two plots I have in mind that I may require some help/guidance for:

The first is a martial plot that is a gangster hangout, and spawns NPC mobsters to guard the settlement (obviously inspired by JtBryants barracks). My question here is whether this is okay for me to do (I don't want to step on JtBryants toes) and just how hard will this be to create (I have no modding experience)

The second is a speakeasy. A backroom bar behind a secret door in some sort of 'front' business (probably a laundry room or library, I haven't decided yet). What I would really like to do is to have the bar in some kind of basement. If you look at the Iron mine where you can actually go down into the mine you will see my line of thinking. Now again, is this actually going to be within the scope of my abilities, and is it possible to have a door leading to a different area rather than a hole in the ground.

Anyway, all comments welcome. Thank you for indulging me.

If your really serious about making an addon ,you should ask for an invite to the discord channel .

A trigger man martial plot sounds cool:) as long as it not identicle to the others it will be fine :)
there a tutorial about teleporting doors in the builders toolkit , I havnt tried it yet but it dosnt look to hard:)
 
Going to have to be put on the back burner for a short while. My PC is a potato and wont launch Fallout 4, which I didn't think was going to be an issue until it came to testing, but it turns out I can't use NMM without first launching the game.
