It's definitely possible to mod without modbuddy. Most of the files you will ever need to modify are openable with notepad! Modbuddy is most helpful with organization, but most critical with publishing. Modifying the MODINFO file is a bit of a pain with just notepad, but you cannot publish to the steam workshop without modbuddy. You can still distribute through other means, lots of people do. But if you wanna share your mod, it's easiest through steam!

ok thank. but where can i find the IDE numbers for the MODINFO plz ?

I assume you mean the mod ID... The mod ID is just random hexadecimal characters (0-9, A-F). Start with another mod's ID, and change some of the characters.

Try installing this: http://download.microsoft.com/download/1/9/3/1939AD78-F8E8-4336-83F3-E2470F422C62/VSIsoShell.exe

Trivia information: google "Pardon my French." Kind of nice to see it works the other way round (being neither, I can laugh about this)
