Editor or Form IDs for Creation Kit?

[NORD]

Hello,

How do I know/find correct names, Editor or Form IDs of items, house windows, etc., to use them in the Creation Kit for a MOD I am creating?

For example, when I play the game I see a round glass window that I like but cannot find it at all in the Creation Kit, I filter by "window", "win", "glass", etc. and nothing.

Same with other things, like a pedestals for example, in the Creation Kit I search for "pedestal" and some appear but not as many as I see while I play the game.

How can I find them to use them in my MOD?

Thanks in advance!

You could try opening the console in game and then clicking on the item your looking at. Not tried it myself but you've nothing to lose.

Already tried that but it gives you the Base ID, not the Editor or Form ID that is what you use in the Creation Kit.

Thanks!

OK so load up the area where the window is in CK and then look for it there, the form ID will be in the right hand pane of the cell view window.

The Form ID given by the CK for non-vanilla content (mods) is not correct. The last five numbers are still correct, but the first three will not be.
