If your up to more specific stuff you will need a C# compiler for dll and stuff, xml stuff only need a text editor

For doing XML modding you can use notepad or Notepad++ (http://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/v6.5.5.html)
For .dll modding you can download Microsoft visual studio express 2013 for free. You can do your C# coding and compile the code in this program

NOTE: You need to be one windows to use these programs

Also a recommendation to learn how to mod:
Look thro files and try find objects and make smal alterations. So you se how and what a alteration do.

I also recommend you to look thro existing mods and codes so you se how they work and what they do. It can also help you out to make you a new mod

Alright thanks everybody, i was able to take an existing mod and use it as a template and was successful. I did find i needed to use Gimp to texture it because paint would leave extra white space.
