Hey, so I've been trying to import a heightmap to a new region file, but it just seems impossible. Using the heightmap editor just seems completely wrong in every way possible.

I had the same issue when I once attempted modding Oblivion. Can anyone tell me how, if I even can, to import a heightmap? Thanks.

Any of you lovely guys and gals have a clue as to how this is done? I do remember there was support for it in Oblivion, but it crashed my CS whenever I tried to do it.

The worldspace creation in CK doesn't really work but you can use external tools like TESAnnwyn for that. However some people seemed to be successful by placing a RAW map divided in four parts in the HeightField subfolder in Skyrim Data (if I remember correctly) but for me the saving didn't work so I sticked to TESAnnwyn.
There are already five threads on that painful topic and the last one's http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1356815-creating-new-worldspacesdiscussion-thread-5/. In these you should find some useful information regarding these things.

And the Skyrim compatible version of TESAnnwyn you can find http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1311730-release-tesannwyn-and-tes4qlod-for-skyrim/.
