Is the new Creation Kit for the Special Edition available to the public yet? If so, where can we get it, and is it a separate install than the old ck, or just an update to the old one?

I heard that it will be release after the holidays so i hope that info was wrong since i need to convert my mods!

No, they said they plan on releasing the new Creation Kit next week.

Is there a chance to get CK right now like other users who already uploaded the mods?

Yeah I wishing I could get my hands on that beta. I'd like to know how these authors got word of the beta Creation Kit to begin with. Apparently I am not subscribed to the right threads.

Is there anyway to get it early?

I tried the code on twitter and it doesn't seem to work anymore!

Does anyone know if SSE uses similar version of CK as Fallout4? And if the new features from FO4, such as "Custom ActorValues", are implemented now?

I successfully signed for the Beta. I hope to get an answer tomorrow.

The lack of a CK is extremely disappointing - I was planning on porting most of my mods over to SE over the weekend. Has anyone figured out how to (or is there a utility to) pack loose files into the new SE BSA format?

I managed to pick up a Beta copy of the CK. You're supposed to be able to pack the new .BSA format in the new CK, but so far, it's not working for me. It wants to pack the textures in a separate BSA.

From what I've heard there's a texture optimized BSA format in addition to one for everything else. Maybe that's why.
