new to Anniversary, do I have to manually download all Creation Club stuff?

[CoolLew]

Newbie here: I just upgraded to the Anniversary DLC tonight, and am about to start a new playthrough. However, I noticed that when I go in to Creation Club, it says I own everything, but there is a download button under each thing. I have to download all this stuff myself, or or is everything already downloaded by default?
thanks for any info.

Once you purchase the AE DLC through steam and launch the game EVERYTHING downloads automatically, at least it should.

Great, I hope you're right. It doesn't seem to be doing anything, but I'll wait...

You go to 'creation club' and then it downloads the CC content. Might take an hour.

If it doesn't automatically do it you can press download all button as a workaround

I tried that but it keeps timing out, I don't think it's downloading anything.

Could be that the servers are having issues, try checking tomorrow, or later today.

To answer this question should be simple.

1. Go to your Steam Library and choose this game.
2. Then look over on the right hand side (lower LH corner) directly under "Achievements" where Steam shows your DLC
3. If you don't see the Skyrim Anniversary Upgrade then you don't have it installed.
and it sounds like you do not.

Also

Go to your Skyrim Special Edition Directory folder which is located
\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition
open the folder then open the Data folder and you should see a long list of files
starting with ccbgssse and ccfe and ccvs in other words about 74 files starting with cc

Sounds like you do not have the content because when you first launch the game after purchasing the Creation Club DLC you are greeted with a prompt and once you click ok it takes a few minutes for it all to install. You would most likely remember that.

I also just bought the anniversary upgrade (because i own the Special edition) but i can't access the creation club. It says it can't connect to the bethesda servers. Do you guys know how to fix that ?
I looked in my local files like Vlad said but i don't have the 74 files with cc in it.

exactly what is happening wiith me.

Oh I see, I thought you could access the creation club but not download the stuff.
It's so annoying, feels like we are beeing scamed by toddy yet again

[HazakTheMad]

The servers often do that, best you can do is try another time and often.
A VPN might fix it for some folks.

[Foxtrot34]

Okay, I'll wait and try then. Thanks

[Foxtrot34]

Okay so I found a solution. I moved skyrim from one drive to another and suddenly it worked. Really weird but it fixed it.

I highly suggest that you downgrade to 1.5.97, especially if you want to mod your game. 1.6+ already has things like ussep or crf, but many major mods are still not updated and only work on pre-ae

[CoolLew]

it's working now, I think it was a problem on their end
thanks guys
