Window peeking: Or HOW do I learn to love the Creation Kit?

6 years of playing Skyrim and the single one thing I detest most is the Creation Kit. ?

 

But enough is enough and time has come for me to shift my attitude, to learn it and to love it.

And I have a rather huge list of things, that I would like to see in Skyrim. So the CK is not my destination but just the rough path to it.

 

Where do I start? Well, my idea is to start (again) by watching what some tutorials can have for me or by reading them - all with the intention to understand how I can tame the beast.

I guess I have enough to watch, but I'm interested in more to read. If anybody has another URL for me, please leave it in here.

Basically these are my FIRST steps into the world of the CK-Deadra :classic_ph34r:

 

Winter is coming!

The CK really isn't that bad. Some people like to bash on it, but in my experience, this isn't warranted. For example, it never crashed on me. It is confusing at first, but it consistently does what you tell it to do. If you are starting out, of course it's confusing because you need to learn how the game works and what all those different forms are. 

 

If you want to go into scripting I would recommend using Notepad++ as text editor instead of the CK-built in editor. Not only does this allow you to edit and compile scripts without having to start the CK, the built-in editor also has a character limit of about 32k (don't know the exact number), which is small.

 

Darkfox127's videos are the best out there anyway, so I would not worry about not having enough to read or watch. The most important thing is to keep trying and not give up if it doesn't work, because most of the time, it won't.

But on the bright side by the time the playlist is over the Creation Kit might be halfway through loading.

Ahhh... it's not THAT bad. I admit that I've delivered babies in less time than it took for the CK to load. But THAT was a long time ago. ?

That's my plan:

  1. Start CK
  2. Start a video lesson
  3. watch video
  4. check the load progress of the ck
  5. make notes
  6. finish the video
  7. wait the last minue for the CK
  8. try out the latest lesson
