So I'm having an issue with the Creation Kit crashing when I attempt to duplicate a bookshelf. It's a four-shelf bookshelf, with 11 books on Each Shelf. I'm not at home at the moment - but if I recall right it's using the 'NobleShelf02' as the base model. All four shelves work perfectly, no issues. When I made the bookshelf - I duplicated each shelf accordingly, with no issues. Completed it, saved it, tested it. I had one small issue with the books falling on the floor from the second shelf, which was a duplicate of the first shelf (3 and 4 worked just fine) - but after just playing the game a while that 'bug' went away. I suspect it was simply a bug in my saved game, and not anything to do with the mod whatsoever as it's working perfectly now. In any event - whenever I attempt to 'duplicate' or 'copy' this bookshelf - the CK kit just hangs. It appears to be doing something... but even after an hour, it is still just sitting there. I've tried to run it as administrator, etc - no change. I mean heck, even if the 'duplication' took 15 minutes, it would be pointless. I haven't had any other issues with it. This CK is a lot more stable overall it seems than the Fallout 3 GECK for sure. I've been modding since Oblivion/Fallout 3, and am mostly familiar with the creation kits. Is this a known issue or does anyone know a fix for this? I can copy smaller items (such as each shelf independently) - but attempting the bookshelf + 4 shelves just results in a hang. At this point, it might seem like my only option is to just plop in another bookshelf and copy a shelf 4 times for each one. Wouldn't be so bad if this CK supported the Static Collections like FO4 does.. but it seems it does not, correct? MY CPU and Video card are a bit dated (i5 and an nVidia 770) - but I have a ton of RAM (24GB) Also my apologies if this is the wrong forum for this - but it seemed the most applicable..

I've been searching all over the place to find an answer to this question, but I cannot locate a solid answer on any website. How do I create a completely new weapon class for Skyrim in the Creation Kit? Every tutorial I see says to duplicate an existing weapon and change it, but nothing says how to create a new type of weapon. For instance, instead of Daedric, Steel, Ebony, etc.... in the list, put a new type of weapon there kind of like is done with the artifacts. I know it is possible, as I have seen it done in many mods, but I cannot seem to get a straight answer from anywhere. Please help!
