=Me and Games=
<syntaxhighlight>
I got hooked initially when I was younger playing various old games Windows 95 style like Aliens Ate My Babysitter and Frogger. First addicting game I played was Age of Empires, and second was Railroad Tycoon II, which I pretty well mastered. I was away from games for awhile, than got hooked when I got my first computer which had a trial version of Fate pre-installed. I modded that a little, but not much. Then I found Skyrim, and modding really opened on a large scale, and here I am.

==Experience==
I started modding Skyrim mainly because of the bugs. I used Nexus Mod Manager all the way up until early this year (2013). It took me awhile to add Wrye Bash to my list of tools, although I started using BOSS right away. Then TES5Edit came along and thanks to Gopher's video, I learned how to clean mods, and followed BOSS for when to clean dirty mods, etc. I found STEP in about May 2013, and started using some mods from it along with switching over to Mod Organizer. Quickly I found Skyrim Revisited and found even more must-have mods. Thanks to Skyrim Revisited, I learned how to use TES5Edit for more than the occasional cleaning job, and also started using BUM, Automatic Variants, and DDSopt. I'm still rather fuzzy on Creation Kit and scripts at the moment, but I currently have over 300 mods working perfectly together with over 200 esps and no conflicts, so I'm a happy modder.
=Building Mod Organizer from source=
==Building Mod Organizer from source (WIP!!!)==
===Install Prerequisites===
====Visual C++ compiler 2010 (VC 10.0)====
#Install Visual Express 2010 from [http://download.microsoft.com/download/1/E/5/1E5F1C0A-0D5B-426A-A603-1798B951DDAE/VS2010Express1.iso here] (direct link offline installer).
#Update via Windows update.
#(Optional I believe) Install Windows sdk 7.1 (see [http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/101105-how-do-i-install-microsoft-windows-sdk-7-1 here] for more information on installation). Direct link offline installer ISO [http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8442 here].
Notes:
*Qt 4.8.6 does not seem to compile on later versions (am I wrong?).
 
====Qt Libraries====
Version 4.8.x from [http://qt-project.org/downloads here].
*i.e. "Qt libraries 4.8.6 for Windows (VS 2010, 235 MB)"
*tested: 4.8.6
*Install according to instruction
 
Qt 5 Compatibility:
MO compiles and mostly runs correctly built with Qt 5.3 and VC++ 2013 but
*python plugins haven't been rewritten to use qt5 yet
*pyqt5 isn't distributed as binaries for python 2.7 so this needs to be set up and built first
*tutorial doesn't work because it seems to be impossible to create a transparent Qt Quick control...
*the previewdds plugin only compiles with the opengl variant of the qt 5 distribution
*Qt5 is a bi*** to distribute
 
====Boost====
*tested: 1.55
*Build according to their instructions (using vc++): http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_54_0/more/getting_started/windows.html
*A few of the boost libraries need to be built (the rest is header-only). The only compiled libs MO needs (at the time of writing) are boost_thread (for everything that links agains bsatk) and boost_python (for pythonrunner). You can disable the others to save yourself compile time (even on a modern system compiling boost can easily take an hour)
 
=====Boost Python library????=====
1. Create user-config.jam in root directory for Boost (e.g. C:\code\boost_1_55_0)<br>
2. Paste the following inside it:
  # Configure specific Python version.
  using python : 2.7
  : C:/Python27/python.exe
  : C:/Python27/include #directory that contains pyconfig.h
  : C:/Python27/libs    #directory that contains python27.lib
  : <toolset>msvc ;
3. Run <code>b2 toolset=msvc-10.0 --with-python --user-config=user-config.jam --build-type=complete stage</code><br>
4. Watch an episode of your favorite TV show while that is working.
