Can't load my mod

Post » Tue Nov 20, 2012 6:07 am

Hi everyone
I have a problem with my mod since the last time I edited it. I don't know what happened, by I can't edit it with the Creation Kit anymore. When I try loading it, the CK crashes after a few seconds. I can't even play Skyrim with my mod active. Any idea how to fix this? (And no, I don't have any back-ups... :/ )

I know a tool for Morrowind called TESAME (The Elder Scrolls Advanced Mod Editor), that can be used to undo mistakes made with the Construction Set, but it doesn't work for Skyrim mods. Is there something like this that could work for Skyrim?

The CK backs up your esp files mate, they're in the skyrim directory :)

Thanks a lot, I thought my mod was lost for sure.

Just one last thing: these files are BAK. How do I convert them into ESP?

I think you can just remove the end of the filename to leave the esp at the end. Give it a try :)

I did. Still doesn't work. Maybe these files have the problem too. Even the oldest one doesn't work. The CK crashes at the exact same moment than before. Weird.

Uninstall the CK and then reinstall it. Maybe something weird has happened. I and other modders have had some silly issues, that a reinstall of the CK solved.
