So if you make a new category, make sure to go enable it for the configuration you want to use it in. Tip #5: New categories are disabled by default for all configurations. Tip #4: To force rebuild one category without doing a complete rebuild, disable and then re-enable a single item in the category you want to rebuild. Remember to always rebuild after removing items as well, before you start installing new ones. If you change a lot of things without rebuilding in between, this can lead to errors. You can sort some of that before rebuilding, but I recommend not sorting into more than 3-5 categories before rebuilding (depending on how many items you have in those categories). If you import some new stuff, it’ll show up under ‘default’. Tip #3: Rebuild each time you make changes, and try not to make too many changes at one go.

It also helps to close the program once in a while, and then re-open it, if you’re doing a lot of installing or moving things around. Try to install new CC in batches limited to 100 or 200 at a time, and rebuild each time you add more.

Tip #2: CC magic is a really great program, but it can make mistakes, especially if overloaded. While this can sometimes work, if you do it this way the game may not catch duplicate files, and you will still have to make sure to rebuild.

package files into the ‘cc magic > content > packages’ folder. Tip #1: I do not recommend taking the short cut of simply placing. This is intended to be tips for navigating the quirks of the program, beyond what’s covered in most tutorials. Some people seem to find that one difficult to use though, so created a video tutorial that some might find easier. I highly recommend this one by Nonasims ( as it was the one I used).
