When the editor starts up for the first time, there will be no data loaded. To get started, navigate to '''Files>Data''' from the main toolbar.

Skyrim.esm will take some time to load. Be patient, as this process can take a minute or two, depending on your hardware. | When the editor starts up for the first time, there will be no data loaded.

Note that some warnings will appear when loading Skyrim.esm. These are normal and can be ignored - just hit "Yes to All" or escape to dismiss them. | |||
