Loading Dawnguard, etc into the Creation Kit
There are two lines that need to be added into a SkyrimEditorCustom.ini (INI files - User Defined) file to ensure expansion files are loaded into the Creation Kit:
[General]
bAllowMultipleMasterFiles=1
[Archive]
SResourceArchiveList2=Skyrim - Shaders.bsa, Update.bsa, Hearthfire.bsa, Dawnguard.bsa, Dragonborn.bsa
Important Note: Others include the bsa's in other property settings but I did not find this neccesary. WildNord (talk) 2013-03-05T10:26:02 (EST)
