Creation Kit crashing whenever I try to make a new script

Hey there! I have searched all over for answers but I can't find anything that's worked for me and it's exhausting. I'm brand new to modding, so that doesn't help.

 

So, these are my steps (the ones marked [skip] are steps that I eventually just skipped because it was too much effort knowing that it would probably crash):

  • Open CK
  • Load master files (Skyrim and Update) [skip]
  • Create a new quest [skip]
  • Open Papyrus Manager
  • Right click, new
  • Fill out name, extends, documentation string
  • Click okay
  • Cry a little inside when the 'Creation Kit has stopped working' popup comes up
  • CK crashes

I don't even know what to try anymore. I have, in no particular order:

  • extracted all the .bsa files (except for the DLC and stuff because those are .esm files and I don't know if I need to extract them?)
  • unpacked scripts.zip -- currently in '\Skyrim Special Edition\Data\scripts\Source\Scripts' as .psc files, and in 'D:\steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition\Data\scripts\Source\' as .pex files
  • uninstalled and reinstalled both CK and Skyrim Special Edition
  • added the DLC files to the Skyrim_Default configuration settings and to the CK configuration settings

Plus probably other things that I've forgotten. Is there anything else I can do or should I just give up?

Seem like a Admin issue, have you tried running as Admin, Don't use the Beth Launcher, Create a Short Cut to CK on your Desktop, Set it to run as Admin Shortcut Properties.

 

Note when running CK (SE) As Admin the Beth Launcher can no longer launch the Kit, but you have a convenient shortcut on your Desktop.

 

 

 

If( Steam.IsInWindowFolder() )
      String msg
      msg = "Next time don't install Steam in Window folder, install it close as can to Drive Root as well."
EndIf

So I tried running as admin like you suggested, managed to make a blank script, but as soon as I try to create a script with any text in it, it crashes. Hm. Progress, but still a little broken. Is it because I'm basically duplicating another script? I'm just finding the DialogueFollowerScript (since I'm using a tutorial for making custom followers -- specifically, this one: http://skyrimmw.weebly.com/skyrim-modding/making-a-custom-follower-skyrim-modding-tutorial ) and copying it, pasting it, and changing the top line/title slightly so it's not the exact same. Sorry if this is a rookie mistake, I'm a rookie :p

 

Thank you so much for your help!

I think your psc files in wrong folder.

Just unzip "D:\steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition\Data\Scripts.zip" in to the "D:\steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition\Data\" folder.

 

Psc files must be in the "D:\steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition\Data\Source\Scripts\" if you didn't change the "[Papyrus]

sScriptSourceFolder =" settings in creationkit.ini or creationkitcustom.ini.
