How should I start making a mod?

I've got some mod ideas but don't know where to start. That Reddit guide hasn't really helped so idk, maybe I'm stupid.

    i have recently observed however that the latest version of the mod tools does not work for the 2019.4.8f1 version of unity, so i've been using a backup i've saved from 2020, if you want to try that i have discord and i can send you the file
    .
    i just tried importing the latest modtools on 2019.4.8f1, yeah it doesnt work

    @Goldside852 after that you click on the Simpleplanes_ModTools file and it SHOULD import the package

    @rexzion just to make sure, the mod tools are the two things in the "ModTools" folder in the game files, right?

    (god I feel stupid writing this)

    @Goldside852 thats what the "mod tools" are for. once you pick the recommended unity version (I use 2019.4.8f1), you import the simpleplanes mod tools package and everything should appear (the SimplePlanes tab included)

    @32 By the way, what Unity version do you use?

    @32

    My main problem being no matter which Unity version, that SimplePlanes tab that is supposed to be in the top left never appears.

    1. Download unity
    2. Install the mod tools
    3. Use the mod tools
    4. Make a map
    5. Put it in SP

    Try searching for more tutorials and stuff, and if you have any specific questions feel free to ask me or someone else who has made a mod.
