saintboy Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Im finishing up my house mod and encountered an error. I followed the creation kit guide to make functional bookshelves https://www.creationkit.com/index.php?title=Tutorial_Bookshelves and got it working without problems. Now I am trying to find a quicker way to fill out the other 9 shelves using the first one I made by hand. I tried selecting each individual part, CTRL + D crashesRight Click + Duplicate crashes CTRL+C CTRL+V crashes I did all of these both in the viewer and the editor ID box Really trying to avoid manually linking and placing 162 book references :facepalm: Any ideas?

thumbincubation Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 You're not alone. A couple of possibilities in here, but I don't know of a confirmed, consistent fix. https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/6177358-problem-duplicating-bookshelves-ck-freezes/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thumbincubation Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Ok, I went into CK to experiment for a minute. I hid everything around the noble bookshelf in the upstairs bedroom of Hjerim, highlighted the whole thing and its activators... CTRL + C = perpetual processing, not respondingright click > duplicate = same But I was able to hide the bookshelf and all the yellow boundary boxes, then highlight one row of the dummy books and the activators linked to them, and they duplicated almost instantly. My guess is that the whole works is now too much for the memory available to CK. I say that because, though I'm on a meh computer, some folks on that other thread are on high end, high memory computers, and having the same problem. The best I can offer, off the top of my head, is to do it by sections. Copy the furnishing and the yellow bounding boxes first, then copy the dummy books and activators, one row at a time, into them. Takes longer, but still arguably better than having to recreate by hand, every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintboy Posted February 19, 2019 Author Share Posted February 19, 2019 Thanks for the replies, I will get to testing ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintboy Posted February 20, 2019 Author Share Posted February 20, 2019 ok so I am able to duplicate 13 book placers and the container reference instantly with no issue, but 14 placers or more makes CK unresponsive. I installed CK64 fixes but it has done nothing for the crashes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintboy Posted February 20, 2019 Author Share Posted February 20, 2019 OK final update, in case someone stumbles across this thread looking for a solution to the same problem. I ended up using https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/92237 and they are working perfectly (in legacy and sse) Didnt find a fix to the duplication but this script makes it even easier 10/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thumbincubation Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Nice. Glad you got it working, and thanks for the solution. I've been wanting a library, but haven't wanted to deal with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cumbrianlad Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Brilliant! I only put two bookshelves into Severin Manor because of just this issue (CK32 never crashed moving bookshelves around). Now we just need someone to modify the books and book markers so that the insertion point isn't stupidly in the middle of the book but at the bottom where it's needed!
