Creation Kit Sucks!

[Z0mBieP00Nani]

This is a thread to vent any annoyances you have had or are currently having with Creation Kit. Who knows, maybe one of us may have an answer that will help someone else out.

 

I'll start

 

I decided to mod a pair of High heels into Skyrim using an existing set of meshes and textures (that were already set up to into the game), I manage to sucessfully create a ground mesh for the heels and everything is running smoothly until Creation Kit decides to start being dumb. At first the ground model works as it should for the first variant of heels and loads up without issue, then when I try to work on the second set of heels, I go to change the texture set on the ground model... and OF COURSE Creation Kit has to crash and I wasn't smart enough to save my work up til that point (not that it was that big a deal, but still annoying). Take two, I get all the way to where I was before on the second model (this time I save), I load up the ground model again and AGAIN I try to change the texture set thinking, "surely that last time was just a glitch"... WRONG, Creation Kit crashes again, but at least this time I saved. The third time around, I decide to just create three different ground models (one for each variant of high heel) and link all of the textures manually, I start up Creation Fail.. I mean Creation Kit, again and load my last save file, and sucessfully load the other ground model that I had just created earlier, I go to work on the tird high heel variant, and go to load the corresponding ground model, and you would NEVER guess what happens next... that's right, it crashes again. The fourth time around I load my last save file, finish the second variant of heels and save again, then I go to work on the third pair and decide to load a model that I KNOW works.. and.. you guessed it, Creation Fail crashes again (these ground models were all copies of the same one by the way, so it's not like I missed something, or anything like that)...

 

I have yet to finish my little project, But hopefully I'll be able to figure something out and get it working.

Enb's works on CK if you have one it might cause Crashes

Also when i leave bandicam fps overlay on sometimes id see Ck freeze up.

I normally never crash with Ck and i am on it atleast 8 hours a day xD

So you most likely have a enb or a setting somewhere affecting it

Or make sure it is always running has administrator,

And most important is if ever it loads, never click spam or even once lol

Let it load or it will auto crash

 

The only dam annoying thing that  happens to me often...

After i save i cannot edit and change anything..

Forcing me to Close And Reopen Ck,

And i normally save every 2-3 mins so it gets so annoying when it starts doing it

 

And oh ya... when i started my race.. everytime i would add ears to my head facegen Ck went Crazy and destroyed my entire Esp 10 times in a row

Wow.. that sucks..

 

I did eventually get it working, I restarted Steam and everything seemed to work fine after that. Later I kept getting crashes in game though after crafting the item so I decided to just remake the ground models, and I haven't had any issues since then, so now I'm starting to think there must've been something wrong with the ground model its self.

I like having my hair so I more or less never touch CK unless its for an ultra simple mod, like placing a book on a table...

 

I made a "mod" that made those annoying slaughterfish assholes marked as friendlies, CK kept crashing for unknown reasons until magically working after the 6th try(and 30 mins later)

I'm too stupid to use it effectively, and I blame it everytime.

When I'm on it all day, I notice it starts to slow down after a few hours, then has this knack of just ... stopping. Nothing will be wrong with it, I can look around, click buttons, change cells/worlds, but I can't physically move anything. Even if I had just touched it not 10 seconds before. So, thankfully the save works and I just shut it down and restart. I thought it was mostly due to my old computer (which is going to be getting new pieces *yey*) but now, I'm not so sure. I think CK just hates me.

I still really, REALLY hate the clunky camera. Drives me bonkers and creates all kinds of pain for my left side (nerve damage, bone/tissue damage... fun stuff)

 

The fact that it is so temperamental drives me crazy >.< You have to do 10 things to get one little thing done. Currently the CK and I are at odds with weapon plaques.. Seriously those things HATE me for some reason. I'm dreading the moment I have to start LOD and navmeshing... I keep putting off delving deeper into the tutorials

Thank you for this platform:

 

I can't fucking duplicate world cells in the creation kit! This is a documented problem with no known workarounds and it pretty much axed the only creativity I had for skyrim modding.

 

I /had/ planned to create my own little base, a little city built into the walls of the winding grove/canyon you find in the quest Ill Met by Moonlight, but attempting to clone the region causes a crash 100% of the time. It's a huge bummer, because I love wall-built cities and this little spot I thought was perfect... But I'll never know, now, because I can't do it unless I painstakingly attempt to rebuild it or something like it from scratch.
