I have a really stringent bw throttle (satband.... I get a whole 12gig on rolling 30 day period) and due to updates to WoW (1.5 gig) and the nearly 200mb for Skyrim, as well as updates to Office 2010 and Access 2010 to which I just upgraded, I'm nearing 60% - and at 70% I either have to boost my plan to the $100 a month one until the percentage drops (couple months probably) or my speed gets dropped to 128kbs.

I might have to wait a while to get the CK if it's big. Darn it.... I have things I want to do....

Kia Ora

Not over large, unless 85.1 mb is large for you

85 meg 40 usage on disk, The bigest file it uses is the main skyrim.esm file but as you already have the game you already have the file

The CK is 40MB...

Where are you people getting your numbers?

Thanks guys! That's doable even with the gigs this week. I appreciate the replies, happy modding!

speaking of the CK...where do you download it? shouldn't there be a pinned topic up there "how to get started" or something?

Silly question but where is the download for the CK? is it on steam? I am just updating to patch 1.4 now if what helps.

It says 40MB, but when you actually download it steam says Whatever/81MB or something like that.

To all- You download it from the Tools section on Steam in your Library.

If you're willing to load the construction kit more slowly then you can compress the whole folder. It'll reduce the file size by a lot.

Steam says 40MB on disc. And said 40MB when downloading for me.

Steam's showing 81.5mb for me - but jeez it's slow. Probably because a bajillion people are downloading right now....

if you have trouble seeing the creation kit in the tools list then restart steam a few times, i had to restart it twice before seeing the creation kit listed
