Please help me open this mod in the construction kit

Hi everyone. I'm using Better Vampires by brehanin, but what it is, isn't particularly relevant.

The mod gives fully fed vampires 100% resistance to frost, which i personally believe is far too powerful and removes the fun from some parts of the game. Unfortunately the author is on hiatus, so asking him for help isn't an option.

 

I'd like to continue using this mod, but i wish to edit it, to tone down that frost resist value to something more reasonable.

 

I've done a little bit of poking around in the CK before, so i'm sure i'd be able to figure it out once i get there. But the problem is that i simply can't open it for editing. I go to Data in the CK, and set the ESP as the active file. But at some point through loading, it gives an error message - something like strings in dawnguard, and then the CK crashes.

 

Can anyone give it a try and see if they can make it work? And hopefully provide me with the necessary info to pull that off myself. Or if you even can make the changes for me, i'd like to set it to a flat 25% resistance at all stages, similar to the dawnguard default

 

The file I'm referring to is located here: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/9717

It's the "Main Package - Dawnguard Compatible"

Find EditorPrefs.ini (located at your root \Skyrim\ directory).

 

Open it up and find SResourceArchiveList2 and make it look like this:

SResourceArchiveList2=Skyrim - Shaders.bsa, Update.bsa, Dawnguard.bsa, Hearthfires.bsa

 

If you don't have Hearthfires, omit it.

You'll need to change the SkyrimEditor.ini and add Dawnguard to a list of bsa's, else it won't let you load Dawnguard.

This is what you do:

 

1) Open SkyrimEditor.ini in a texteditor

2) Ctrl+F and search for SResourceArchiveList2 or scroll down to [Archive]

3) Set the line SResourceArchiveList2... to

SResourceArchiveList2=Skyrim - Shaders.bsa, Update.bsa, Dawnguard.bsa

(And Hearthfire if you have it)

 

That should fix it.

 

EDIT: Damnit, I'm too slow!
