Disabling the included Creation Club content

When Bethesda released the Anniversary Upgrade DLC, the game version was updated to v1.6.

Whether you bought the DLC or not, Bethesda included four Creation Club items with the update.

These four CC items have been shown to make the Skyrim Together Reborn experience more unstable, and prone to crashing more frequently.

This guide will demonstrate how to remove the included CC content using either MO2 or VMM.

If you remove the Creation Club content, your existing savegame(s) may become unloadable.

Regardless, it is strongly advised that they be removed!

Disabling the included Creation Club content

Because you can't actually disable them, we'll have two options:

Choose only one of these.

  1. MO2 will handle the mods

  2. Manually deleting the files

Remember, no matter which option you choose:

Steam will attempt to download those files again. For example, if Skyrim receives an update, you reinstall the game, or you Verify the integrity of the game files via Steam.

Option 1: Moving the files and letting MO2 handle it

  1. Close MO2

  2. Open this directory: C:\Modding\MO2\mods

  3. Create a folder in there, named CreationClubContent

  4. Full path should be: C:\Modding\MO2\mods\CreationClubContent

  5. Now, open this directory:

  6. C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition\Data

  7. Find these files: ccBGSSSE001-Fish.bsa ccBGSSSE001-Fish.esm ccBGSSSE025-AdvDSGS.bsa ccBGSSSE025-AdvDSGS.esm ccBGSSSE037-Curios.bsa ccBGSSSE037-Curios.esl ccQDRSSE001-SurvivalMode.bsa ccQDRSSE001-SurvivalMode.esl

  8. Move the files into this folder: C:\Modding\MO2\mods\CreationClubContent

  9. Re-open MO2

  10. Now you can enable/disable the CreationClubContent as you would any other mod.

Option 2: Deleting the files

  1. Close MO2

  2. Open this directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition\Data

  3. Find these files: ccBGSSSE001-Fish.bsa ccBGSSSE001-Fish.esm ccBGSSSE025-AdvDSGS.bsa ccBGSSSE025-AdvDSGS.esm ccBGSSSE037-Curios.bsa ccBGSSSE037-Curios.esl ccQDRSSE001-SurvivalMode.bsa ccQDRSSE001-SurvivalMode.esl

  4. And delete them.

  5. Re-open MO2, and the mods will not be listed anymore.

I need the Creation Club files back, what do I do?

If you chose the 2nd option, and want the files again you can always Verify integrity of game files through Steam:

  1. Find The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition

  2. Right click and select Properties

  3. Select Local Files

  4. Select Verify integrity of game files...

  5. Steam will re-download the Creation Club mods that you deleted
