This happens to every single weapon and armor mod I download, they don't show up when I have them, weapons can be used (They can shoot, zoom, reload etc.) and armor effects are working too, the problem is that they are invisible. I used NMM, LOOT and edited .INI files.

After a recent CK update, I am unable to launch the tool at all. I have re-installed the tool itself, steam and all the games/mods multiple times, and I am still unable to launch it. Whenever I try to launch the CK, it will do absolutely nothing. When trying to launch it from the exe. file itself, this error comes up: CreationKit.exe - Entry Point Not Found The procedure entry point SteamUGC could not be located in the dynamic link library C\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\Common\Skyrim\CreationKit.exe Due to the lack of knowledge and repeated failure on trying to find a solution for this issue, i have given up in Steam (Who is clearly the root of the problem) and I am now trying to find a "Standalone" CreationKit. Any help with this would be appreciated, I been unable to mod for about 4 days because of this issue.

Hello fellow modders! I post here today hoping that some brilliant soul out there can help me with something i cant seem to find any information on, and therefor adding to the archives of this already impressive and useful forum! So the problem: I am trying to make it so that certain skills, or most skills even, will get stronger based on your level in that skill. Instead of having to spend 5 perk points to gain maximum efficiency (its kind of frustrating) i know that this is already sort of a mechanic in the game, i just cant find the setting to change how much it does! None of my search results came up with anything, hence the post, so it would be awesome if someone would be bad ass enough to enlighten us noobs on this subject :) any and all information is welcome, thank you for your time in reading this, you are a wonderful beautiful person. I am still somewhat inexperienced in the modding realm, so i rely on this forum quite a lot. I wish i could better express how much i appreciate the people here who are willing and able to answer questions! I love this community, and Skyrim (after a few mods of course) thank you all so much for being so awesome!

Once again I have somehow messed up Skyrim. Ok I only started to encounter this problem recently but let me give you the lowdown. (Prepare for weirdness and awesomeness, and long text) First up my game was running completely fine up to this point. I had recently got a mod that added a new armour set called the Dragonbone armour. It didn't work properly at first as I didn't have the XP32 Maximum Skeleton Extended mod, so my character's breasts were flat when wearing the armour. I then installed the required mod and it worked properly. However as soon as I reached the Ruins of Bhalft after getting the armour my game crashed right next to the weird "compass-arrow-thing" that is there. Then everytime I loaded the game it would load up for a second, as sounds start playing, but then instantly crash. After contacting the Mod creator he couldn't give me an answer so I uninstalled the mod and the game worked again. HOWEVER as I made my way away from the Ruins of Bhalft I came across some Bandits, that were a part of another mod called "Become Jarl of Ivarstead", fighting a Follower of the 'True' Dragonborn. About 10 of them attacked but they went down easily, and I took their armour as I was naked now. And then after saving it the game CTD with no warning. Thinking nothing of it I loaded my save again and it worked fine, but I made a seperate save further along just in case. And then the game crashed, so I loaded up that new save only for it to be in game for a few seconds with nearly everything BLACK, except for a few rocks and a few other things. So I loaded the previous save and everything was fine, until it crashed again. Thinking something was up I decided to look up online, and discovered LOOT. I used that to change my load order, as it is apparently the next/new Version of BOSS, but I was still cautious about it. Needless to say it was rather jarring how differently it sorted my mods, and I had to rebuild my Bashed patch. I did not update my Dual Sheath Redux patch as it would use BOSS to sort out the plugins to what it was before, so I just left it. I also updated any mods, with a whole new download of the new mod rather than simply updating it. Anyway after doing that I reloaded the Original save and the game worked again, I made another seperate save and went on my way. The game did last longer this time and I managed to get to a Dragon Roost area, AutumnWatch Tower, that had a few enemies from the Immersive Creature Mod, the Humanoid Dragon Skeleton things, which I defeated after enabling God mode as I was testing to see if the game was working rather than playing it properly. Then a Blood Dragon started its attack and I was halfway through fighting it when the game CTD. I sighed and reloaded the new save I made after beating the first dragon Skeleton thing only to find everything black AGAIN! The game was still going this time though. So I went through the fights again, started fighting the dragon, which was entirely purple now, and then it CTD. So then I thought that maybe a mod required that I go inside for it to update properly, so I loaded the original save, fast traveled to Ivarstead and went into the Inn there. I then made ANOTHER new save and deleted the old one. I loaded it to see if the problem that happened near the tower would happen here too, and it loaded in about 3 seconds with no problems during or after. So I traveled to the tower again and sure enough my game crashed as soon as I got near it. So thinking that it might be Immersive creatures I first tried doing a Cell Reset. And oh my god what happened next will blow your mind. Everything got out of control. I fast traveled to the Ruins of Bhalft and ran to the tower, all the enemies had respawned so I had to fight all of bandits again, but double the amount this time. And then I got attacked by Dragons, you heard right dragon'S'. I got attacked by 3 at once!! And these weren't the default AI dragons, these were the Dragon Combat Overhaul ones! They were freaking powerful! Only one was textured properly the rest were all purple, possibly meaning they missed the textures. After beating the normal one the Frost Dragon suddenly got its texture. And after what felt like a war occurred I managed to beat them, needless to say I was pumped by that point XD Anyway I went to the Autumnwatch tower to finally see if the Cell reset had worked, as at this point the game hadn't crashed once yet. And lo and behold the game did not crash! I was finally able to get the damn word there, even with the Human Dragon skeletons. So that's what happened. Possibly the most awesome thing to happen in my entire playthrough of playing Skyrim. It hasn't crashed again yet, so I think the Cell Reset fixed the main problem but for right now there are still a few problems that might have been caused by LOOT's ordering (Unless I never really noticed them beforehand). Some of the shadows aren't working properly as they will appear as stripes on some buildings, while in others (such as the inn) one side with be completely covered in shadow while the other will be fine. Moving around will make the shadow normalise then go back to complete darkness. Then there was the dragon error earlier where only one dragon had its texture, but the frost dragon would suddenly get its later on. The Blood Dragon did not get its texture even when it died. Then there was a texture problem with a arrow sheath that was purple on my companion but that sorted itself out. I will let you know if any others appear but damn, I feel so hyped now because of that XD

I used to love skyrim, I could play for hours without boredom, I had about 6-10 characters, I've played assassin, battlemage, 1h warrior, 2h warrior, archer. I have played pretty much every quest and dlc, not to mention a lot of mods. I got bored so I quit. I've been playing borderlands 2, nba 2k14, ncaa 14, ch2k8 for a while and I want to try playing skyrim again for one last playthrough. What can I do to make it fun? Like what class should I do (no assassin), what mods should I get, etc. Thanks
