[LE] Creation Kit still crashing after a lot of troubleshooting

[aportraitfordorian]

I am... completely stymied. I wouldn't come to the forums to make a dumb old "creation kit's not working what do I do" thread unless I had to, and, at this point, I don't know what else to do.

Yesterday, I was working in CK SE building a player home. I imported some assets both from Oldrim and SE, which worked fine. Then I came across a mod that had a room full of pre-programmed activators, and, thinking that would save me time, I grabbed it, without thinking about the fact that it is for Oldrim and not SE. Tried to load it up with the home, CK crashed. I realized what I'd done. I deleted the offending .esp and tried to load up again. I hadn't saved anything that had to do with it, because it crashed before I could. I got a fatal error message about invalid parameters.

 

I've been working in CK 1.5.3 because that's what the Creation Kit Fixes work for, and those are really useful. I'm downloading it from the Bethesda.net launcher as 1.5.73 and then rolling it back and overwriting it with the 1.5.3 files. Don't know if that makes a difference.

 

I have tried... virtually everything. I've been modding for a while, and though I don't have much of a grasp of scripts or technicals, I have a fairly good idea of what to do when something isn't working. I attempted to delete all CK-related files, uninstalled the CK, reinstalled it, rolled it back again, and then did the same thing a few more times after popping around trying to find files I thought pertained to it. I used the Windows troubleshooter. I scoured the CK wiki. I've tried to google my problem, but I haven't found a single working solution. When I run 1.5.73, I don't get a fatal error message, but the CK does immediately crash. At this point, I'm considering a system restore, but that's... a lot.

My game is still running fine, no damage to the game files. It's just the damn Creation Kit. Please, if anyone has suggestions, I really want to hear them, because I am out of ideas.

All meshes from SLE need to be converted for use in SSE "Nif Optimizer".

You should address your issue to SSE Forum.

Delete everything that has to do with your creation kit and even some of the core Skyrim game. Remove and store the things you've added to Skyrim
until you're back to the stock game. Then from steam validate your files. When you get everything back ... back everything up. Then you can add back
the things you've added to Skyrim (slowly testing as you go). When you don't back up your files it leaves you with no choice but to completely reinstall.
