adding dawnguard and hearthfires to the creation kit
with release of the ‘dragonborn’ expansion coming soon, i decided to get back into the creation kit and wanted to add dawnguard and hearthfire. so in order to do this i had to edit the C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\skyrim\SkyrimEditor.ini and add change the section under [Archive]. now it looks like this -
[Archive]

and i can load all the form id’s from both expansions into the creation kit.
