aarchieee Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Is there anyway of installing CK for the GoG version of the game ? As I am now seriously considering biting the bullet and buying the steam version just so i can use CK because anything created in CK will work in the GOG version anyway.

dizietemblesssma Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Yes, i use the CK all the time with the GOG version, you need to get the CK from steam but you shoudn't need to buy Skyrim on there - though I may be wrong since I do in fact also own steam Skyrim so I can't compare and contrast - the CK is a separate download in "software" on the steam library. Once you have it, zip it up and install as a mod in Skyrim (make sure to install as 'engine injector if using Vortex). Then you will need this: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/71371 also install as engine injector if using Vortex. In my skyrim install folder I have as well as the files from the CK Platform Extended mod above. diziet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dizietemblesssma Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Do you have steam_api64.dll in the game directory? What version is it? diziet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What version is it? diziet No. As i said in original post, its not the Steam version of Skyrim,its GoG 1179. Because CK seems to be DRM tied to Steam, the steam download of CK wont work with the GoG version of Skyrim because its missing the Steam api.

dizietemblesssma Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 The CK, only being available on steam, is reliant on the steam api, the Creation Kit Platform Extended for Skyrim and CK Fixes before it effectively stopped the steam api dll doing it's thing but still need it present. diziet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showler Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 Stupid question, but would that file be available from another Steam game/program? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I downloaded it from steam, moved it to desktop, then managed to track down an offline version of steam_api64.dll, dropped that into the moved folder, archived the folder then installed it into the GOG Skyrim files via vortex and its working fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
