Pau1K311y Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 (edited) Hi I cannot seem to run the Creation Kit. It comes up with an error that it cannot find the steam_api.dll. I guess that is because the creation kit is installed in the Steam Folder - with Papyrus Editor folder and some other files as well as another Data folder- whereas Skyrim is on my separate Games drive. When I moved the kit to skyrim games folder it still did not work - I moved the ssce5432.dll also as it said it required it but to no avail. There does seem to be a few important looking files in the steam apps folder for Skyrim, should these be together with the rest of the game?Can somebody please advise?

gsmanners Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 The CK does also add a lot of files to the Data folder (like Scripts and such). You could probably live without Scripts, but you almost certainly need the other folders. There are also a few folders in its own folder which it undoubtedly needs in order to work (like the Papyrus stuff). And don't forget the flowchartx32.dll and SkyrimEditor.ini, as well.

Pau1K311y Posted April 17, 2013 Author Share Posted April 17, 2013 Sorry I'm a little confused now I dont know much about the Creation Kit setup. So all the Creation Kit stuff has been installed my Steam folder on D drive and should really be in the Skyrim game folder? Did I do something wrong on installation? I have tried to place all of the Papyrus stuff and dlls in already but it did not work. Can I reinstall to the right place? Which is the best way to do this?

gsmanners Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Move the CK the same way you moved Skyrim. Don't make it complicated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pau1K311y Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 I installed Skyrim directly to a different drive via Steam, which I wasn't prompted to do when CK was installed (as far as I remember). I'll just drag them into Skyrim folder then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsmanners Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 The CK is not a difficult program to install. You just need it in the same folder as TESV.exe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
