# How to create SSDTs
Creating SSDTs mainly fall into 3 camps:
- Prebuilt SSDTs
- They're universal but don't teach much
- For most users, we recommend this as it does not require any compiling
- Automated tools
- Mainly seen with SSDTTime, work much better than prebuilts as there's less bloat however doesn't teach you much
- Manually creating them
- Will always work, be much cleaner and get to learn about the process
- However requires you to deal with code
If you're not comfortable with editing and compiling code, we recommend the prebuilt option
