The dumbest mistake made in modding

I feel like the worlds greatest moron after this. I've never really gotten heavily into scripting, so I'm pretty new with it. However, I am a C++ programmer, so I felt pretty intuitive with Papyrus. For some reason though none of my scripts would work even though they compiled fine. I really was confused, I couldn't find any syntax errors myself. Then I finally realized something.

 

As many of us know Skyrim's script folder contains the source and .pex files. I have two copies of Skyrim. The actual original in my Steam directory, but then I have another directly on my root C:\ I was saving my changes in the creation kit, copying my esp, then putting it into my secondary copy.(I have the secondary so I can use BOSS and Wyre Bash without trouble) I for some reason could not get anything script related to work however. I eventually tried just a simple old Hello World ObjectReference script and not even that would work. Then I finally realized my secondary copy didn't have the .pex files it needed to run the god forsaken scripts. I copied them over and sure enough I didn't have any trouble after that.

 

Needless to say I learned something very important today, and was greatly humbled.
