I try to load the DLCs but I get thishttp://i3.minus.com/jcti6BX8p5HZR.bmp

what do I need to do to get the DLCs working in the creation kit?

SkyrimEditor.init:

Uh, I didn't have heartfire, but you can add it the same way.

but what do I need to do.

Edit the Skyrim Editor INI file and add the lines like show above. If you have Hearthfire, you need to add that information also.

should I just copy and paste everything in that box into the Skyrimeditor.ini? does it need to be added to the top, bottom or anywhere?

I do have hearthfire but how do I add the hearthfire stuff to it.

Leave the Skyrim - off the start of Dragonborn.bsa and Dawnguard.bsa.

Those .bsa files are just named Dragonborn.bsa and Dawnguard.bsa, unlike the rest (except Update.bsa and the HighResTexture packs)

I still don't know what I'm doing.

Open the file in Notepad and look for the [Archive] section

Delete all the the text in the [Archive] section and past in the highlighted text underneath [Archive]

** You can add Heathfires. bsa to the end of SResourceArchiveList2=Skyrim - Shaders.bsa, Update.bsa, Dawnguard.bsa, Dragonborn.bsa if you want so that it will read -

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

ok thanks

Refresh page and read it again...I made an edit.

The CK doesnt use the HD Texture packs.

Done.

thank you.

It's working. thank you.

I should warn you that the CK will not allow more than 3 master files for an esp. This generally leaves you with Skyrim.esm, Update.esm and any one of the other DLCs.

I put the Skyrim - there on the other one for completion sake.
