Creating New Exterior Zones

[JonaniusGitch]

So, about to dig my hands into a lengthy land mod that will require a new region of exterior cells. While familiar with game development, the TES kit is somewhat new to me. Looking at it, I can't determine how to do this, but maybe someone can point me in the right direction:

 

How would I go about creating a new, large scale exterior region, though not necessarily connected to the Skyrim world. I fully expect to have to draw it all out myself, and that's something willing to be endured, but I first need to find the tools to do so.

 

A push in the right direction from a veteran modder would be handy.

 

Thanks

There's a menu in the main CK window called 'World', what you need to do is create a new worldspace. Once you do that and get it set up with the appropriate settings, you can find it in the drop down menu above the list of cells in the cell view window. You'll get a lot of cells marked 'Wilderness' that should all be flat and empty. Same basic concept as the Sovengard world.
