Do i need pc version to use the creation kit? I've got a lot of ideas for armours and weapons and would love to be able to make them despite not being able to use them as i'm an xbox user.

Yes, you do.

Ah that svcks

Do you have a PC? If so, how powerful is it?

Nah i got a macbook pro 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. Memory 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3 250Gb Harddrive.

Basically even if my lappy could run it i'd not want to have to purchase it again. It would be nice to create these mod ideas especially the armour ones. Although if its a case of needing the pc version to test the mods then fair enough. Still makes me a little sad/annoyed that i cant express my creative abilities.

Actually, not just a case of needing the Pc version to test mods, you also need the PC version to do anything. All the neccesary files and libraries are part of the games core files, without the game, you can load up the CK and stare at empty boxes.

ok so is there a forum where i can suggest my ideas for mods. i've got some good'ns. things i've thought about for a while and would really like to see made.

Well, there's the http://www.gamesas.com/forum/183-skyrim-mods/, perhaps.

(there's a bunch of subforums here. Click on that "V - Skyrim" at the top of the page, and it'll show you all of 'em.)

cool thanks i'll give that a go

You'll need more than the creation kit if you want to create swords and armours with a custom/new appearance. If all you want to do is make stat changes your good to go.
