Have you tried adding Dawnguard.bsa to the SkyrimEditor.ini under the [Archive] section.

~~Where do you add it under Archive?~~

[Archive]
bInvalidateOlderFiles=1
SArchiveList=Skyrim - Textures.bsa, Skyrim - Meshes.bsa, Skyrim - Animations.bsa, Skyrim - Voices.bsa, Skyrim - Interface.bsa, Skyrim - Misc.bsa, Skyrim - Sounds.bsa, Skyrim - Voicesixtra.bsa, Skyrim - Shaders.bsa, Update.bsa
SInvalidationFile=ArchiveInvalidation.txt
iRetainFilenameOffsetTable=1
iRetainFilenameStringTable=1
iRetainDirectoryStringTable=1
bCheckRuntimeCollisions=0
bUseArchives=1
SResourceArchiveList=Skyrim - Textures.bsa, Skyrim - Meshes.bsa, Skyrim - Animations.bsa, Skyrim - Voices.bsa, Skyrim - Interface.bsa, Skyrim - Misc.bsa, Skyrim - Sounds.bsa, Skyrim - Voicesixtra.bsa
SResourceArchiveList2=Skyrim - Shaders.bsa, Update.bsa, Dawnguard.bsa

That seemed to work.

Try adding Dawnguard.bsa to SkyrimEditor.ini's [Archive] sArchiveList or sResourceArchiveList?

This worked. I felt comfortable just doing this.

Adding to sAL still crashed. However, I added it to sRAL2 and it opened up.

Thank you to Justin and Jon both. :thumbsup:

Tamb0 is correct...

SResourceArchiveList2=Skyrim - Shaders.bsa, Update.bsa, Dawnguard.bsa
