We've suspected there was a problem with updating things in the Starfield Creations menu since McClarence was first patched, but are now 100% sure of it with the Watchtower patch.
Sometimes when updating a Creation, you will receive only some of the files required, creating version mismatches (for example, you may end up with the updated plugin file, but an old archive file). The most obvious sign of this problem occurring is some elements such as quest names, interaction prompts, or characters will be labeled as "LOOKUP FAILED".
(The issue may manifest in other ways, so if a developer tells you they were certain they fixed an issue, you could try this solution in general.)
If you run into this error, or if you'd like to avoid it in the future:
When updating your Creations in Starfield, you will want to delete them so that the Update button becomes Download, at which point you can download all of the new files at once without fear of overwrite failures.
We have reported this to Bethesda. If you run into this issue, you may want to report it as well, so they have more examples to pull from to try and address this.
