Running Multiple Master files in Creation Kit

[Mcdoye]

I only have the dawnguard dlc and here is how my archive looks after getting it to successfully load 9+ non dlc esm files at once

i added the lines in general

sLanguage=ENGLISH

bAllowMultipleMasterLoads=1

bAllowMultipleMasterFiles=1

And i added Dawnguard.bsa to the top and bottom of SResourceArchiveList=Skyrim

 

I hope this helps :smile:

Okday, so I did as everyone had suggested but I am still running into the same issue as the orginal poster.

 

Seems like it doesn't want to load more then the main Skyrim master file.

 

Error I get:

 

Assert

File: C:\_Skyrim\Code\TESV\TES Shared\misc\BGLocalizedString.cpp

 

Line:2871

LOCALIZATION:Error opening or reading strings file.

 

I hit Ignore button and get this in turn.

 

MASTERFILE: LOCALIZATION:Zero entries or empty block size read from strings file STRINGS/Hearthfires_ENGLISH.Strings. Strings wil be missing.

 

So I hit Yes to all. Then it Does the whole Microsoft Windows:

 

Creation Kit has stopped working

Check online for a solution and Close the program

or

Close the program.

 

 

This is very annoyed and I hope someone can answer my call for help.

WOW I am super late to this party, but i found the solution to your problem because I just solved it not five minutes ago after finding this post. SO here is what i did. In your archive section of the SkyrimEditor.ini you will find

SArchiveList=Skyrim - Textures.bsa, Skyrim - Meshes.bsa, Skyrim - Animations.bsa, Skyrim - Voices.bsa, Skyrim - Interface.bsa, Skyrim - Misc.bsa, Skyrim - Sounds.bsa, Skyrim - VoicesExtra.bsa, Skyrim - Shaders.bsa

 

so i added

 

, Update.bsa, Dawnguard.bsa, Hearthfires.bsa, Dragonborn.bsa

 

after the Shaders.bsa.

 

Then in the sResourceArchiveList2 part the hearthfire.bsa was giving me problems so further looking i found it has to be HEARTHFIRES.bsa

 

so it would look like this

 

SResourceArchiveList2=Skyrim - Shaders.bsa, Update.bsa, Dawnguard.bsa, Hearthfires.bsa, Dragonborn.bsa

 

That solved the problem for me I hope it helps you if you are still looking for the answer 5 years later. Or if anyone comes to this post i hope my answer helps

I followed the post from angryglock

And got it working. As for the other information on this thread I found incorrect.

Solution confirmed regarding the above ancient issue. Simply spell "hearthfires.bsa" correctly when adding it to the sResourceArchiveList2 variable string. I made the mistake of cutting and pasting the bsa list above and found that "Heartfire" does not work. :ohmy: Foiled by a simple typo & a lazy arse... Use Olgark's link above to get the complete set of requirements, ready for cut&paste.

Jezus, people are still posting stuff here? Well, it's basically THE go to post when you first start up Creation kit since a while i guess...

 

Note to myself in the future: type hearthfires.esm instead of hearthfire.esm and the other whole shebang!

[Ratman2006]

can agree with the others here that this works, did as said here and now i can load multiple masters
