There are a few things you should note before jumping to the end of this article to grab the code.
- You need to set bAllowMultipleMasterLoads=1 under the [General] section in the CreationKit.ini located in the Skyrim Special Edition installation folder.
If you want to protect your changes from being erased when updating the Creation Kit you can make a new file called CreationKitCustom.ini in your SSE installation folder and add this setting:
[General]
bAllowMultipleMasterLoads=1
- Make sure the CK is installed on the same drive as your Skyrim Special Edition or it won't launch.
- If you are using this to convert mods to SSE from the old version of Skyrim please read up on what that entails. It is absolutely essential that you read this information and understand it before duplicating your mod pages over to the SSE Nexus site. Simply duplicating your mod page and uploading the same version without properly updating runs the risk of causing issues for users. Nobody wants that. You can find up-to-date information on converting mods in the following links.
Converting mods for SSE (AFKmods) - by Arthmoor
SSE wiki page (Reddit) - by Thallassa - The CK must be installed through the Bethesda.net launcher the first time. Once it is installed it can be launched through the CreationKit.exe without needing the BethNet launcher.
- If you already have the Bethesda.net Launcher running when you redeem this code you must close it and reopen it for the the SSE CK to appear.

Disclaimer: The original Tweet says “Limited Use” however we’ve yet to hear of it not working for someone. If you try to redeem it and it no longer works, please let us know so we can make that information known.
Best of luck and happy modding!

If you're using Linux... you're probably already savvy enough to know where to look for yourself.
Macs... I guess the philosophy is that apple does everything for you so ask them?? ( c; )
This made me laugh way harder than it should have.
I got "Version Check"
Incorrect CreationKit version detected. Patches diabled.
So i still on Oldrim, can anyone help me please?
Kindly Regards

As the name suggests it's part of Steam. Is your Steam software operating correctly? Try reinstalling it. Also, are you downloading the correct version for whatever version of skyrim you are using?
Launching Bethesda launcher is completely impossible. And I need it to access CK.
I've tried running it as adinistrator, in compatibility, uninstalling and reinstalling it, nothing worked. Can someone help me ?
Thx.
Is their some sort of argument I need to put into MO2's settings for it? I tried changing the default start folder to "D:\Games\MO2_SSE\Mods" which is where my mods are listed.
At the very least, could someone redirect me to one of those tutorials for installing CK in MO2?
Anyway, if there is 'any' help out there for me (other than those guys with the funny white coats with all those shiny buckles), I'd be REAL grateful.
Thanks guys.
Guess it's my turn to deal with this gigantic pain in the arse.
Any advice you can give as to WHERE Bethesda is hiding this application would be appreciated. I got the Launcher running, and it's not anywhere within this that I can find (Bethesda really really doesn't want us playing Skyrim anymore, not when we could be playing ESO and Fallout 76...). They don't even have TES 5 anywhere in their menus anymore.OK, found it. The CK is under "Creation Kit" if you expand the menus on the left of the launcher now (for late 2018, the UI changes sometimes). I would've thought it would be filed under "The Elder Scrolls" or "Skyrim", where their other TES links are usually sorted.
This is as much fun as trying to get games registered via the Ubisoft Launcher.
And am I correct in stating, if all you want is the Creation Kit (and you are in your right mind), you will never ever run this stupid Launcher ever again?
