» Wed Dec 12, 2012 1:57 pm I'm trying to collect information that's spread all over the internet and concentrate it inside this thread, that hopefully gets stickied.
A. Loading multiple masters in the Creation Kit (if you, for example, made a plugin that is dependent on Update.esm, Dawnguard.esm and Hearthfires.esm)
1. First find your x:/ProgrammFiles (x86)/Steam/Steamapps/common/Skyrim/SkyrimEditor.ini (it's Programm Files for XP users)
2. Then find the [General] section inside the .ini
3. Add http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20120217230503AAuw6kw to the general section
B. Using more then one instances of the Creation Kit (for example if you want to use the second CK instance for reference to speed up developing process)
1. First find your x:/ProgrammFiles (x86)/Steam/Steamapps/common/Skyrim/SkyrimEditor.ini (it's Programm Files for XP users)
2. Then find the [General] section inside the .ini
3. Search for 'bAllowMultipleEditors=0' and change the variable to http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/656070-running-two-instances-of-the-creation-kit/
C. Fixing crashes/errors when using the CK with DLCs (usually you're getting 'Creation Kit has stopped working' errors, once you've installed one or all of the DLCs)
1. First find your x:/ProgrammFiles (x86)/Steam/Steamapps/common/Skyrim/SkyrimEditor.ini (it's Programm Files for XP users)
2. The find the [Archive] section inside the .ini
3. You're looking for something like this...

D. Fixing the notorious 'Dialogue Bug' (if of any unknown or uncomprehentable reason your custom made dialogues do not work) (I show the most comfortable solution to this problem, though there are others)
1. First download and install http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/25859
2. Upload your plugin with all their masters in TESVEdit
3. Right click your plugin in the plugin list on the left side of TESVEdit
4. Click 'others'
5. Create a new .SEQ file of your plugin
6. Find the new .SEQ file inside the x:/...Steam/Steamapps/common/skyrim/Data/SEQ folder and attach it to your mod
I'd wish to extend this instructions and please Admins, make this stickie. I want to spare other people the hassle I was going through the last copple of days.
If anyone has some requests for changing the threads format, feel free to instruct me.
Please use this thread to inform about anything new related to the useage of CK, so I may add it to the FPOTT.
Thanks to Arthmoor, Alexander J. Veilicky, Sharlikran and all the other modding wizzards over here, on Yahoo Questions, the Nexus and pretty much anywhere else on this planet for showing us how to fix things. And thanks to the DEVs that always try their best to fix things for us, unless they do not get informed by their management about changes in the CK/Game.
