There are two solutions that I'm aware of for this dilemma.ДЎ) to force the Papyrus compiler to run as a 32-bit process.

However the Papyrus compiler is 1) a separate program that is launched by CK and not MO, and 2) an AnењњPU executable (can run as a 32-bit or 64-bit program depending on the operating system) that may run as a 64-bit process, which MO does not support. MO, as far as I am aware, essentially sets up a virtual file system for whatever program you launch via MO. If you intend to do anything that involves scripting, then you will have to do a bit more work to set it up.

Gonna take up a bit more hard drive space, but does that sound like a reasonable set up?Д¬reation Kit can be run via Mod Organizer and that is how I'm using CK. That way, I'd be free to tinker around and copy resources over as needed without fear of corrupting the base install. Now, I don't want to use that backup data specifically to mod in, but I was thinking, maybe I could use another copy of Skyrim in that sense, and have CK installed there. I backed up my vanilla Skyrim installation to another drive partition that I use for backups and data storage. I have been using Mod Organizer which keeps everything neatly separate from the vanilla install, but how do you coordinate the data? Do you just work in the vanilla Skyrim data folders when making plug ins? Do you test on a separate PC/Box entirely? This kept data separate and was easier to keep track of non-vanilla vs vanilla data files that way.

you could have one for modding and one for playing/testing mods. To clarify, in the 2 past TES installments, Morrowind, Oblivion, it was possible to have multiple installs of the game, i.e.

but could not find info - is there a standard setup that people use with CK to create and test mods besides the default Steam Installation? or is it even possible with the way Skyrim and CK install under Steam? Does anyone use Mod Manager tools like Mod Organizer along side the Creation Kit? Sorry for potentially newbish questions, or if this has been asked frequently, etc.
