How to delete a character in the creation kit...

[Sputnick]

If I wanted to open the characters menu and delete a character how do i do this?
I haver trey simply right clicking and hitting delete, but this does not seem to work, they are still there.

It's really not a good idea to delete anything in the CK, it can cause instability in your game. If you don't want something to appear in the game, you need to disable it, not delete it. It would help if you mentioned who you were trying to get rid of.

^^^^ this, unless it's a mod you've made, you really, really shouldn't be trying to do this.

[Sputnick]

ok, then how can I disable something in the game successfully? Like say some bandits?

[cfs111]

Safely, no way without a mod. If you don't care if your save messes up, open the console, click on the npc with your mouse then type in disable

[Sputnick]

I mean how can I disable something with the creation kit?

[gnewna]

You've already been told, you can't. What exactly are you wanting to do? And why can't it be achieved by the normal methods of bandit removal i.e.killing them?

Without knowing what it is you are trying to do, it's pretty difficult to give you any advice. There could be several ways, depending on the circumstance.

I am trying to mod it so that I don''t get attacked by the bandits, or there disabled? Also I want to disable things like the vampires and such.

Why? You're going to end up with a very boring game without any enemies in it. If you're having a hard time with them, why not just turn down the difficulty? Disabling all the Bandits and Vampires is going to require a lot of work, and judging by your posts I don't really think you'll be up to it. You'd have to go through every area of the game where they occur and disable them individually. You'd also have to go through a number of scripts and prevent them from spawning through those as well.

Is there something specific you are aiming for by trying to disable bandits, vampires and such?

[gnewna]

I would be amazed if there is any way, let alone any beginner-friendly way, of completely removing bandits in the game. I suppose you *might* be able to create a patch (DO NOT EDIT THE OFFICIAL GAME FILES IF YOU DID THIS ALREADY FOR GOODNESS' SAKE REINSTALL YOUR ENTIRE GAME YOU HAVE PROBABLY BROKEN IT) which would set all types of bandits and vampires and whatnot to 'non-aggressive' but I have no idea what it would do to your game. As has been said, best thing is probably to just play on Novice difficulty so you can kill them easily. Only other thing I can think of is to add yourself to the bandit faction, but then that would, I suspect, make guards hostile to you, and probalby regular NPCs as well...

Great thanks!

There won't be one, since virtually no one would be interested in doing something like that. You're just going to have to dive in and figure it out for yourself. You best bet is to go to the Creation Kit Wiki site and start reading. You can find it here:
