psychotrip Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Hi everyone. I just downloaded the creation kit via steam and whenever I try to look at data files I receive the "Multiple master files selected for load. Load operation Aborted" error. I looked it up and to fix this I need to edit the "SkyrimEditor.ini" file. The problem is this file doesn't exist anywhere on my computer. I've found the "SkyrimEditorPrefs.ini" but apparently that's not the same thing. I already tried editing that file and it didn't work. I even tried creating a SkyrimEditor.ini myself and it doesn't work. Does anyone know what's going on? All I want to do is use the creation kit to make the a certain race playable. Thank you.

Oubliette Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Launch the editor once to create the file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psychotrip Posted October 15, 2015 Author Share Posted October 15, 2015 Launch the editor once to create the file.I've launched the editor about 20 times trying to figure this out. The file still doesn't appear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psychotrip Posted October 16, 2015 Author Share Posted October 16, 2015 Hmm, so I tried going to the official forums and no one could help me there either. I also tried reinstalling the creation kit, but that didn't seem to help either. Does anyone know what's going on? Can I just never use the creation kit?

IsharaMeradin Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Launch the Creation Kit but only select Skyrim.esm to load. Do not select any other plugins. This should allow the program to run and create the SkyrimEditor.ini file. Then you can exit and make any necessary changes to the SkyrimEditor.ini filt that you need to. If the file still doesn't exist and you installed Steam, Skyrim & the CK inside the Program Files directory, you may need to consider moving at least Skyrim & the CK outside of Program Files in order to avoid User Account Control and other Windows protections.

Unfortunately, loading skyrim.esm didn't create the file. This is so strange. Where exactly should I move Skyrim and the CK? Will this effect my ability to boot the game from steam?

IsharaMeradin Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I installed Steam to C:\Steam when I originally installed it rather than going with the default Program Files location. Therefore, I have no idea if moving the installation will cause issues with starting the game and/or CK. If you wish to try moving the installation, follow these instructions: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=7418-YUBN-8129 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured out what was going on and found the correct file. Seriously, thank you for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeveahT18 Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Could you possibly post what the issue was, so others can fix this??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kroekr Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 That was a bit of an old post. If you are having problems it would be better if you started your own thread and posted a detailed description of your problem. The better the description, the less back and forth that has to be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
