MODs Creator Kit with Curseforge Integration Best Practices & Do’s and Don’ts

• Do use some form of source control to back up the contents of any mods that you are working on. When the Creator Kit is updated from the Epic Game Store, sometimes files that are not part of the official installation (such as a user’s mods) will be removed. Backing up your mod source in some form of source control will help you prevent lost work such as this.
  
• Don’t attempt to open the Creator Kit uproject directly (e.g. by double-clicking on it) - users should always launch from the Epic Game Store.
  
• Don’t change the activation state of any of the Creator Kit project’s plugins - it tends to break things.
  
• Don’t use non-alphanumeric characters in the names of assets (this includes whitespace characters) or database fields. This will likely cause problems and may prevent things from working as intended. In place of whitespace characters in names, use an underscore _ instead if needed.
  
• Don’t attempt to change the enabled / disabled state of any existing plugins in the Creator Kit. That will break things.
  
• Don’t attempt to add / remove any plugins from the Creator Kit. That will break things.
  
• Don’t force-delete Blueprints / other assets that are referenced by any mods you might be working on in the Creator Kit. Force-deleting in-use assets can lead to instability / crashes.
  
• Don’t attempt to create a new character from within the Creator Kit multiple times. Specifically, entering the avatar creator portion of the Root Level more than once per program run in the Creator Kit can cause the Creator Kit to get stuck, requiring the user to restart the Creator Kit.
  
• Do link your WB Account with Curseforge - Link your account — WB Games
