Like the title implies i am having an issue with the Cell window and the Render Window not displaying any static objects when im viewing an exterior cell. As you can imagine this makes it VERY difficult to do any kind of work on a mod as i cannot see anything in the world, so i have no idea if things i add are interfering with something that may already be there.

So, i fire up CK (fresh install BTW), load the Skyrim.esm (tried it with the Update.esm loaded as well, still the same result), and load up an exterior cell. The one im using as an example is near Whiterun, ill link a pic at the end of the post.

So what happens ? I can see static objects INSIDE of Whiterun, textures, trees, EVERYTHING else you would expect to be there....however, move outside the city and the cells are empty (save the occasional rocky outcropping). What im presented with is an empty wasteland...the land is textured properly, its just not populated with ANYTHING else.

I've tried opening the Show/Hide window, clicking on and off the static objects box, nothing. Tried refreshing the Render Window, nothing.

Now, im hoping this is a simple issue to fix...in fact im guessing its an incredibly minor thing that i am overlooking. If someone has any tips or things for me to try please let me know. All i wanna do is make myself a cozy cabin somewhere in the woods, and im having the worst time accomplishing that.

Thank you very much in advance for any time you can spare !
