Skyrim Character Creation Broken

When I get to the character creation part of Skyrim, it only lets me chose my race. No matter what I do, it will not let me tab over to customize my character at all. I can't even change the gender. I bought it on Steam, all the DLC included as well as the high resolution add-on. I have an Asus GeForce 970, an i7 4790k, and I'm using Windows 8.1. Is there any kind of patch I can download to fix this issue? I'm fairly new to PC gaming and I have no idea what to do when issues like this arise. Any help you can give me is greatly appreciated! Thank you.
 
Solution
You may need to download the unoficial patches from the Skyrim Workshop (in Steam) or make an account on Skyrim Nexus and get the patches there. Do you have any existing Mods currently? Some mods may require SKSE.
Yes, I can enter a name and the game continues with the generic male race character. I am just unable to customize at all. I tried asking on the Steam forums, but they just told me to go to another forum which had long and complicated explanations which I didn't understand at all.
 
If you're using mods, I would suggest using Mod Organizer, and at least ask questions over on nexusmods.com. They actually have entire forums dedicated to questions like this, so you're much more likely to find an answer.
