Hey everyone, A lot of you are new to Skool, so here's something it doesn't make obvious: the only way I can see how far you've gotten in a course is the checkmark on each lesson. If you haven't been ticking them, your progress shows 0% on my end, even if you've read every lesson. Here's the ask: 1. Go back through the lessons you've already finished and click the checkmark circle in the top-right corner, next to the lesson title. It turns green when it's done. 2. From now on, tick each lesson when you finish it. That's it. The full walkthrough, with what to look for, is in the Start Here category and pinned at the top of the first lesson in Fundamentals: "How to Track Your Progress: The Lesson Checkmark." Why I'm asking You're putting real time into this, and Premium members are putting in $10 a month. I want every one of you getting the most out of it. When I can see where you are, I can check in when you stall, answer questions before you have to ask, and plan live sessions around the lessons that are giving people trouble. Without the checkmarks, I'm guessing. Nobody's being graded on speed. Go at your own pace. Just let me see the pace. Stuck on a lesson? Leave it unticked and post in Help Desk with the course and lesson. That's what it's there for. Let's get those progress bars moving. 💀 — Munch

Welcome to The G.A.M.E. 💀 You just joined the Ghouls Academy of Modding & Engineering. This is a school for people who want to understand their games, not just download things into them. Do these three things today: 1. Introduce yourself. Comment below with your name, your rig (GPU and CPU), the game you want to mod, and one thing you want it to look or play like. 2. Start Course 1: Fundamentals. It's free. Go to Classroom → 1. Fundamentals → Lesson 1. It sets up your workspace properly and covers the safety rules that prevent most broken installs. 3. Get your first win. Finish Lesson 5, "Installing Your First Mod," and post a before/after screenshot in Showcase. That's your first step from Initiate to Installer. How it works - Free members get Course 1 and the full community. - Premium ($10/month) unlocks the whole curriculum. That's 13 more courses: ReShade, ENB and lighting, shader programming, making mods, modlist authoring and the 20-lesson Skyrim Masterclass. It also unlocks project reviews and certifications. - Every course ends in a real project. Post it in Project Submissions, a Gravekeeper reviews it, and you earn the certification. - Ranks: Initiate → Installer → Troubleshooter → Tuner → Preset Crafter → Light Bender → Shader Smith → Mod Author → Lich. Pick your path - Make my game look incredible → Courses 3, 4, 5, 6 - Build a stable setup that doesn't crash → Courses 2, 3, 9 - Make my own mods and tools → Courses 7, 8, 10, 11 - Master Skyrim → Course 2, then the Skyrim Masterclass - Grow as a creator → Courses 6, 12, 13 Where things go - Help Desk: stuck? Include your game and version, mod manager, mod list and crash log. - Showcase: screenshots, presets, before/afters. - Project Submissions: course projects for review. - Preset Drops: share your own presets. - Live Sessions: schedule and replays. House rules - Mods stay free. You pay here for teaching and support, never for anyone's mods. - Single-player only. No modding online or competitive games. - Credit authors, respect permissions, and never reupload what isn't yours. - Be the person you'd want answering your question.

Every Ghoul starts somewhere. Drop a comment below so we know who you are and what you're building. Copy this and fill it in: - Name / handle: - Where you're from: (country or region is fine) - Rig: GPU, CPU, RAM, and your monitor resolution - Main game(s) you want to mod: - Experience: brand new / I've installed a few mods / I build modlists / I make mods - Your goal: one sentence on what you want your game to look or play like - A screenshot of your current setup (optional, but we love them) Then say hi to at least one other new member. That's how this place stays alive. Welcome to the crypt. 💀

Let's see where the magic happens. Post a photo of your setup: desk, rig, monitors, peripherals, RGB or no RGB. Include your specs if you want (GPU, CPU, RAM, monitor). It helps everyone give better advice on presets and performance — a preset that runs great on a 4090 needs a different budget on a 3060. Built your PC yourself? Tell us about it. Bonus points for cable management. 💀
