Question

So at some point you are going to want to run the CK using MO.

 

Surprise, it does not work out of the box! Some assembly required. No warning sticker and just enough information, but missing the important parts, to lead one astray.

 

This is not Mod Organizer fault.

 

Running it outside of Mod Organizer and you will still have to do the following.

 

*** Mistake on my part. Correct file is as follows. ***

 

You will need to edit '....\steamapps\common\Skyrim\SkyrimEditor.ini'

 

And add the following:

 

STEP 1
Under the [General] section add the following if it's not already there.
bAllowMultipleMasterLoads=1

STEP 2

 

*** Add the BSA's for the DLC content that you have. ***

Under the [Archive] section change 'SResourceArchiveList2=' to

 

SResourceArchiveList2=Skyrim - Shaders.bsa, Update.bsa, Dawnguard.bsa, HearthFires.bsa, Dragonborn.bsa

DONE!

 

A NOTE OF CAUTION!

 

If you are opening up an esp from a mod that includes a BSA you will either have to unpack the BSA or, and I have not tried this but it makes sense, add the BSA to the above.

 

If you are switching things about constantly having to change the above will become a pain and mistakes will happen.

 

Unpacking the BSA has it own risks. 

 

END OF NOTE

 

You should now be able to run the CK and load more than just Skyrim.esm.

 

The CK is a rather buggy piece of software in my opinion. It crashes when you look at it funny.

Ok. Now I am a bit confused. I have tried loading several different esp's. 

 

Things were looking good and then I load the esp for 'Hearthfire multiple adoptions'.

 

It dies in the same way as above. I cleaned the file. No Joy. 

 

This is frustrating.

 

I wonder if the esp was made on a non-english installation.
