Make sure you do. If you do not load anything, then there is no content. Only about 20 various items and things that are hardcoded as part of the geck. The tutorial should instruct you on how to load Fallout.esm and once you do there are all sorts of cells in the Cell View tab you can copy.
Your right. It never occurred to me to actually open the file up every time I fire up the GECK. Thanks, I'm a noob. I can admit it. :celebration:
Next question: I tested the lay out once I got it all together. Is it normal for me to run in place while inside vault 74?
