They released a Mod Tool now that allows you to make your own changes to the game. I'm spending more time modifying the game than actually playing it. My Breezehome is now a lot bigger than it looks from the outside and has more features than it did before. I'm going to put a basement in next. :!)

It's pretty easy once you get the hang of it. There isn't any real programming involved - it's all graphical. There are good tutorials that Bethesda Game Studios put out to get you started. Once you get the hang of the hot keys and the naming conventions, it's pretty simple to make extensive changes.

It probably gets a little more involved when you create questlines, new characters, etc. I haven't gotten anywhere near that far yet though.
