Creation Kit

[isomorphic_projection]

Modders are the reason why people still buy fallout 4 and Skyrim. Is there a way, to put creation kit outside of the game folder. Or does Bethesda no longer want us to fix their games. I noticed that putting it on steam had an averse effect. You notice it by looking at the dates a lot of mod's got broken, or modders just stopped after it was placed at steam.

THX for the jester, but i'm 100% right. I still got some Bethesda games, including Skyrim playable without a laucher, not on steam. From a time, where you could buy the dvd in store. I got CK on it. But i no longer have a DVD drive.

This post is not true. Not everyone buys Fallout 4 or Skyrim because of mods. Both games can be played just fine as is. I been doing it for 3400+ hrs for Fallout 4 and close to 1000 hrs for Skyrim.

Those who want to use mods have that option, which is certainly fine, but do not be making claims which is false. If you stated most do, then I would not have even replied.

I have not used Skyrim with mods and it runs fine. I do have Fallout 4 modded and it also runs fine. Every system is different so your play might be or not be buggy.

I don't see the need to put the Fallout 4 creation kit anywhere else besides the Fallout 4 folder. Why would you want or need to install it anywhere else?

Simple, read my post again. I need it to mod a retail version. A non steam version. I still got it on my other rig. But i lost my code. Also got it on dvd, but i don't have a dvd player in my current rig. I have multiple versions of skyrim, steam and non steam, same with F4. Not just that, i just don't want it in my game folder. It looks rather sloppy.

Since Morrowind all Creation Kits had to be installed and run from the directory the game was installed in, sorry

Until last year all Skyrim and Fallout 4 were steam only games. So unless you bought the Microsoft store version in the last year you have pirated copies.

Yes even if bought on a DVD they still required steam

The Creation Kit/Geck/Construction Set always installed in the game's folder. If you ever used any of them you would know this.

Regarding getting the creation kit on a cd version of Skyrim, that's false. The creation kit was released months after launch, for both skyrim and Fallout 4 and had to be downloaded separately. So if you got a copy with the ck in it, or managed to launch the game without steam, it was a pirated/cracked copy. There's no such thing as a "retail" version that doesn't use steam.

You still need steam for skyrim. If youre having problems with the ck or mods whilst running a cracked copy, well, that might be the root of the problem.

I know, this is crap. I forgot it was a long time ago. But yeah, it only activates on steam. And i do not have a cracked copy. I ain't a criminal, breaking the law. Well i can still change or mod stuff, blindfolded. Xedit.

Maybe my lost post was not clear. The Creation Kit looks for the files it needs in the directory it is install in. So no there is no way to install it somewhere else

Does that clear it up for you?

[isomorphic_projection]

I know that, i just don't want it in my F4 folder. You could do that, in the past. I just did not answer you, cause your rude.

There is no non-steam version of anything Bethesda publishes now. They moved everything back to Steam.

I figured that out. Even the previous versions don't work anymore. Win7 and prehistoric. But it was just for explosions. Don't really need it, was just for ease. Still got Xedit.
