Can't see textures in Creation Kit

[GeminiContractor]

So, I'm trying to get the Creation Kit for Fallout 4 working, but it doesn't load textures in the Render Window.

Not only that, but when I open Fallout4.esm, it gives 471 warnings about not finding things.

I've tried deleting everything and reinstalling, but it doesn't help.

 

This is what I've done:

Uninstall the Creation Kit, then uninstall Fallout 4 and delete the Fallout4 folder in Documents\My Games

Install Fallout 4, then run Fallout 4 and set graphics to Medium in the Fallout 4 Launcher

Start a new game, then save and exit

Start Bethesda.net Launcher

Install the Creation Kit in the main Fallout 4 folder, then run the Creation Kit

Accept all of the requirements (I've tried letting it unpack and not unpack the file it asks about)

Go to File-Data...

Check the box next to Fallout4.esm, then click OK

Go to Cell View, then duplicate CTEST

Rename the duplicate, then delete all of the duplicate's objects

Go to Object Window, then drag UtilSmRoomWall01 from Static-Interiors-Utility-SmRoom to the Render Window

The wall in the Render Window is green

 

If I double-click on the wall in the Object Window, it's textured there, but an error window appears saying:

TEXTURES: TEXTURE ERROR : Unable to load file 'Data\Textures\DarkGray.dds'

If I double-click on the wall in the Render Window, it opens the Reference Window, and it's textured in the Render Window until I close the Reference Window.

 

What am I doing or not doing that's causing the warnings and texture problems?

Also, the Fallout4 folder in Documents\My Games never has anything from the Creation Kit in it.

 

Edit:

Turning the lights on and deselecting the wall made it visible and removed the green appearance.

I'm still seeing warnings and errors though.

Is it green because you have it selected?

Creation Kit stuff, INI files and whatnot, are kept in the main Fallout 4 folder. They don't show up in Documents\My Games, because the CK isn't actually a game, it's a development environment.

 

Lots of warning is normal. Like hundreds of them. Install F4 Creation Kit Fixes, it helps a lot.

Yeah.

Deselecting it got rid of the green appearance.

Oh, okay.

Thanks for the link to that.

Also, if you haven't watched Kinggath's video series, I'd highly recommend it. It will give you some valuable insight into modding.
