The big guide by Starlene has information about creating a zipmod. Some of roy12 guides also covers zipmods. I forgot to include a useful link about the zipmod format, sorry.Right now my focus is a simple tattoo mod just to learn the full process of deploying a mod so that the game reads it and the assets show up properly. Making 3D assets is something I can learn on my own easily enough, as there are a HUGE number of guides out there for that, though the guide you posted earlier for using SBUGS to get it in is very helpful.
Currently I have made my own images for use and got them into a unity3D file using SBUGS. I also made a list file (which I essentially modified from an existing st_paint_00.unity3d and deleted all the entries except mine). I also got as far as creating a simple zipmod, but I'm not 100% sure I did it correctly as I can't find any guides on file structure. Despite that, I got them to at least show up in the paint list in the character editor, but the textures themselves (and their thumbnails) don't appear. I suspect this has something to do with the way my list file's file locations are set up and the fact that I don't know how deployed zipmods are read by the game. Do you know if there a guide for putting a zipmod together anywhere?
As for a mod-making thread... Maybe we should start one somewhere here on F95? For beginners like me who aren't afraid of putting in some time and effort into learning, but just need direction or resources to understand a bit more clearly.

*Unfortunately some information here is outdated or incomplete but it's another info source to explore.
The studio neo/maker help thread is a better place than this thread for modding and the WIP thread is a great hangout as well, there we discuss wips and help each other problem solving specific projects etc.
As a bonus someone, unnamed freak posts Photoshop morphs there now and then ..
