No mods appear in Creation Kit

[dePog]

Hi Guys,

 

I just installed the Creation Kit. When I go to load none of the esm or esp files are listed, not even Fallout.

 

Do I have to link the Creation Kit to the Fallout directory somehow?

 

Any help appreciated

 

Thanks

not

fallout4/data

 

um..... where exactly am I supposed to type that?

 

I load the CK, I click on File, I click on Data, the window opens with nothing in it. There is no option to tell it where the mods are.

Go to your Fallout 4 directory do you see the Creation Kit files in there?

The creation kit goes in the directory C:/steamandshit/fallout4
not in the data folder

This may or may not work.

-Head to the location of your fallout game. Mine is C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 4\Data.

-If you have the creation kit installed, you will see multiple ending with .esm or .esp highlighted with the creation kit logo . Try opening them with the creation kit. https://gyazo.com/7082ae913c7bb9d88fd2df45a7934968

- Double click the file Fallout4.esm or any other mods you'd like to run.

 

Note: I think the main problem is that you installed the creation kit and then moved your Fallout 4 game to another folder. Mine was in my D: drive but I'm moved it into my C: drive. I'm pretty sure if you reinstall the program it may work. Let me know for further usage of others :D

First thing first. Where is the Creation kit installed? This is important, it must be installed in your fallout 4 root folder (the folder that contains your fallout 4 exe).

I load the CK, I click on File, I click on Data, the window opens with nothing in it. There is no option to tell it where the mods are.

 

He's telling you that the CK needs to be installed on the root of Fallout's folder and not in some other random folder of your choosing. CK finds everything on its own if you have it properly installed.

If you have the CK in some other folder, delete it and reinstall it into Fallout's root folder, it should work then.

So let me get this straight. The bethesda launcher, which is how you install the creation kit now, has a default setting that is WRONG? It defaults to putting it in its own directory. Good lord I'm losing faith already.
