Settings

For hide errors, create a file CreationKitPlatformExtendedMessagesBlacklist.txt.
IMPORTANT: Errors should be copied from the mod's Log window and one error is one line. The file must be in ANSI encoding.

CreationKitPlatformExtended.ini is main file with the settings, be sure to read.

For experienced users, you can exclude patches from the installation, create a file CreationKitPlatformExtendedFilter.txt.
Each new line of patch name, name of patches can be viewed in your log file CreationKitPlatformExtended.log or CreationKitPlatformExtended<Num>.log.

Important

You can get CTD if you exclude an important patch, there are also patches dependent on other patches, CKPE will not allow them to be installed.

Unicode

ONLY SURROGATE: Support for English and native languages without special characters. For understanding, the application uses the ancient ANSI type string representation. The idea is to feed the text already in your native encoding. When loading .esp, .esl, .esm files all strings are translated from UTF-8 to WinCP, and when saved back. WinCP is the current encoding in your operating system.

Important

In Win10 or newer, in the language settings, there is now an option to work with UTF-8, you need to turn it off otherwise there will be only ?.

Support

For questions, consider using Nexus Mods mod pages, or Reddit, or Collective Modding Discord Server in the -mod-creations-talk channel.
For bug reports and feature requests, please use GitHub issues for this project.

Security

CKPE based on a Windows vulnerability related to fake with winhttp system library, contains export links to the original functions, however, operating system must be on the C drive, under no circumstances should you replace the system file. If you have an antivirus installed, you must specify the folder with the installed CKPE as an exception, or add CKPE files as a trust files. There is no malicious code here, you can compile it yourself, study the code yourself, take me word for it or leave.
