So I've been through the comments and there seems to be a lot of issues so wanna help out for people in the future. 1) I've seen people getting the 'installation failed' error after downloading the mod list. Reddit appears to advocate moving the downloads folder outside of the installation folder before initiating the download. 2) People are having issues saying it can't locate the skyrim.exe file. You need to have skyrim downloaded on your C drive NOT your programme files! There u go
Thank you soo much for this, I tried going thru nexus and MO2 and adding single mods at a time and got completely frustrated with cycles and load order conflicts....and this made it as smooth as butter.....
I'm glad this thing exists, I tried to download a mod list of like 500 mods from a showcase and it was hell as the mods have conflicts you have to sort out and I had no idea how to set them correctly and keep running into problems. Now I'll just download a whole set from Phoenix.
Truly makes modding easy every for a complete beginner to an advanced veteran. It’s truly groundbreaking! I’m excited and happy that you came across it! Happy modding!
all i get is install failed every single time? Copied your steps and other peoples and still nothing is working? Its a clean legit skyrim folder bought through steam. Frustrating the hell out of me the fact i was over 2 hours for an install that gets to the last steps and fails n no matter how many types i close and reopen wabbajack to retry it always fails it makes no sense to me
Hey, I'm one of the admins for Wabbajack. Just wanted to say thanks for this extremely informative video. A few observations: You don't need to manually create the Downloads folder. That path will autofill when you select the installation path (assuming you haven't touched the downloads path field), and Wabbajack will create the folder for you. That Noir readme screenshot was mildly ridiculous, I'm gonna see about changing that one... Other than that, very well done. I'm going to talk to the other admins and see about making a command that pulls up a link to this video so we can use it as a sort of official tutorial. Thanks again!
@@PhyrexisGaming GREAT VID 👍thank you! I have wabbajack installed but I think I messed it up after watching this. What is the best way to uninstall wabbajack cleanly so I can redo it again properly following your vid. Thanks again!!
@@ikeharrison1 discord.com/channels/605449136870916175/666599178788536331/789529991955480646 Try this link and join the discord! They have people there who can help. Trust me, it’s not that I don’t want to, but I don’t want to mess it up further for any reason. They also want all troubleshooting to go through the Wabbajack discord for that reason. Try that and we will go from there! Thank you!
Unfortunately I’m not sure who you would go about that... I assume you could add German patches, but the modlists are so massive and compiled specifically that you may break something.. I would for sure hit up the Wabbajack discord on that one bud I’m sorry!
It helps tremendously! Honestly, your video makes it much easier for me to understand how to mod Skyrim. I searched for hours trying to find a video that kept it simple yet is as effective at modding as yours!
@@tulsadan86 Wow man that really means a lot! My goal is to point people to a great modding tool (Wabbajack) and let others experience what it's like to have a truly heavily modded game that's stable. Thank you for the comment, I sincerely appreciate it :)
@@PhyrexisGaming I have pretty fast internet luckily. I think imma have to uninstall my steam app and download it outside of x86 but luckily I only have 2 games installed on steam so it won't be too much of a headache. One question I had is does it affect anything if the files are located on 2 separate drives? I normally have my steam application on the C drive and all my games on the D drive
@@PhyrexisGaming dang I like all my apps on my small drive then large stuff on my large drive. Thanks for the info and super fast replies kinda rare to get fast responses haha.
Sorry to bother you man, but I spent all weekend following videos including this one and the instructions in wabbajack to try and install the Phoenix Flavour Dragon's Edition but everytime after it takes all that time to download i get an "installation failed". I read somewhere online that there may be a patch or something I have to download manually but nowhere can I find instructions or advice on how to do this. Would you happen to have any advice, tips, guide or something that would allow an extreme newbie like myself to be able to install this? Does the Phoenix Flavour have to be installed first before the Dragon's edition can be? I'm not a total idiot, but brand new to PC gaming and zero experience with modding. Thanks!
Hey there! You shouldn’t need Phoenix flavor to install dragons edition. Have you checked the pinned messages on the discord? Sometimes they will have a link there for a mod or two that Wabbajack has difficulty downloading, or a site that isn’t nexus mods. It could be possible that the download is hidden, removed, or has been updated. If that’s the case, unfortunately there’s nothing you can do but wait. I would try the discord first though :)
@@PhyrexisGaming I'm having the same issue, installation failed after the download and then the mod folder has nothing but 7z and .rar files without any of the folders or executables shown in the video. I tried redoing it all without antivirus on as well with no luck. There do seem to be several files that aren't able to be downloaded and I'm not totally sure why. I've followed all of your instructions very carefully on your installation guide and keep coming to the same result which is a failed installation.
@@hronk hey there! I would try rerunning if you haven’t already. Are you saying you gave the downloaded files (mods) but you don’t have any of the other folders? It’s possible that it missed the other assets, and rerunning wabbjack to overwrite installation and picking the folder that you created for the modlist should fix it. If not, hit up the Wabbajack discord, (it’s in description) and they should be able to help guide you depending on what list you’re trying to install
Might try rerunning Wabbajack. There will be a downloads folder that it accessed and installed from. It likely is missing files. Worse case, hit up the discord if that doesn’t work for support for the modlist. It may be having an issue
I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I keep getting an error that it can’t find skse64_loader.exe does not exist 😒😩. I downloaded the Elysium Remastered (took almost 24hrs for 500gb file) I followed the install instructions to install Root…but I still don’t truly know what I’m doing…I may just give up and play regular…this is like my 5th time trying to use mod2 with Loot and Fnis and skse etc…I’m pretty worn out mentally at this stage 😔
Man… I’m sorry to hear the trouble. I truly get modding fatigue, I truly do. If you’ve already downloaded the file and just won’t launch, you could try copying the stock game folder files to the base game folder files. Make sure it’s actually there. Or, if it’s not there and it’s just the skse files, you could always manually drag the files (get it from silver lock I think? Been a while) If I were you though, I would join the Wabbajack discord. The link is in the description. Once there, I would find the Elysium modlist, and search in the text (top right of screen on discord) that very error or key wording. It likely is a simple fix for what you’re experiencing. IF your pc can run it, I can promise you the wait and effort are truly worth it my friend. Again, I would take an hour or so and just step away and do something else, play another game, etc. I wish you the best of luck, I truly do.
thank you for this! I love bethesda games, i wanted to play them, but then i think, i need to install some mods, wow i need to search each file and instal. Losing hours and hours, but this tool, so powerful, now i can enjoy bethesda games with just a couple of clicks, thanks! Gonna play some oblivion with Through The Valleys mod pack. :)
@phyrexisgmaing Thank you for the tutorial, one question though: Ive downloaded the Phoenix Flavor Modpack and seems like there isnt a "Game Folder Files" Folder. Do you know what I would have to look for?
I have a weird issue. I downloaded LS2 and installed a fresh copy of Skyrim SE, I run MO2 and change the path to point to my game folder which is C://SteamLibrary ect MO2 recognizes that and it shows correct in the settings. But when I hit Launch it gives me an error saying : skse in D://Steam bla bla does not exist.. My game is not in D and I changed the path to where it is, but MO2 still points to the wrong path and I have no idea why that is or how to change it/fix it..
Hmm... I’m honestly not too sure... did you use mod organizer to mod your game before this? And did you make sure to copy all the game folder files and launch mod organizer from the custom folder you made? Your best bet is to hit up the Wabbajack discord. I’m sorry but I haven’t ran into this issue at all. If I can help I will, but currently at a loss..
@@PhyrexisGaming Thanks for the reply, I found the problem. I initially changed the path in the settings. But I also had to change the path of the executables separately. Once I've done that, it's working flawlessly! Hope this also helps someone else ^^
Do you own a legal copy through steam? Is it outside of program files x86? I honestly haven’t tried installing a morrowind modlist. Have you tried the discord support for that modlist? Might be the best bet
It could be a failed download. Try to edit it of Wabbajack and relaunch. A few different factors go in. Your best bet is to join the Wabbajack discord. They offer support there that should sort things out. Best of luck!
Is it a legal copy? If so may try uninstalling and reinstalling and removing any altered files. It should let you verify files, it doesn’t require you to launch the game exe to check for it to my knowledge
Best bet would be clean install. I would install outside of program files x86 if you haven’t. Note this will wipe the rest of games installed, and saves if you do this. I can’t speak for if SKSE count as altered, but if it’s not in the base game folder, then would be considered altered.
Fellow southerner? Lmao jokes aside, Ive been busy trying to learn wabbajack on my own. Turns out I really need this video lol. Vortex made things so easy I thought I was too stupid for stuff like Wabbajack. But now Im gonna attempt to use this new knowledge to finally clean up my new vegas mods since my pc is shit lol. Have a good day man. -Vulpes. -Edit, How have 32 people manage to dislike this video? Seems kinda cringe to me.
Thanks for the shout! Lol yes fellow southerner, can’t hide it no matter how hard I try 🤣 glad the vid helped! As for the dislikes? 👎 idk honestly lol. Thought it seemed pretty simple to me, but to each their own haha. I’ve have people complain about it, but you offer to help and they are quiet as a mouse. Maybe it makes them feel like they have a sense of power 💪🏻 lol idk honestly.
When I run the installation of MOISE which is for Morrowind, the slides continue through each mod but my download folder stays empty. After this I realized it says in the terminal kind of part "Could not locate Morrowind" . Do I have to somehow tell Wabbajack where the game is?
I’m honestly not too sure. I mean, as long as it’s a copy on steam on the same drive as the rest I would think it would automatically locate it, however I haven’t tried that myself. Have you tried reaching out in Wabbajack discord? They support there! I’m sorry as I wish I could help, but honestly don’t know.
@@PhyrexisGaming I just now joined the discord channel but there doesn't seem to be a support dedicated text channel. (There is a one called "Discord-help" but it seems that's for discord related help)
@@elrosith88 if it isn’t in the discord it likely is set to hidden. Unfortunately most modlists share the same main mods so it’s likely they won’t download. The good news is once the mod is set from hidden to seen, you can rerun the launcher and it will pick up where it left off. You may try to re run it, and if that doesn’t work then check out the Wabbajack discord and your list you’re trying to download and see if there is a pinned message about a certain mod that wont down load that’s on another site.
After installing WabbaJack it says it has an unknown error. And it says to move my Wabbajack out of the downloads folder because that folder has alot of antivirus scans which makes WabbaJack work less or something. How come even after I moved it to a different drive every startup it just says unknown error and I can't do anything. Boy am I BUMMED OUT ITS ALWAYS SOMETHING!
Your best bet would be the discord. I know they have had some issues recently, and haven’t had time to keep up with it the past month or so.. if you take the error you’re getting and go to the Wabbajack discord they should be able to help there more effectively. I apologize
this is probably a dumb question but does this work with fallout new vegas? i know you mentioned it should work with every game but the files are a lot different since im installing viva new vegas and i wanna be 100% sure im doing things right since i've been trying to remod new vegas the past few days lol
Make sure you have the enb series files. If the enb comes with the modlist you just drag and drop files in your game directory with SKSEloader. Then you just launch the game. Top left screen should have text pop up if done correctly
Hi, where do you copy and paste the other builds to? I have managed get the Kiezaal build up and running and was wondering if I wanted (for example) the NOIR build would it be the exact same process? (With own folder in the games folder) Thank you for your previous help by the way, the cheque is in the post :-) )
So when you are wanting to run more then one modlist, simply delete the game folder files that you added to your Skyrim directory from the previous modlist installed (example would be like NOIR) Then copy the game files from the new modlist (example Elysium) that you’re wanting to use and paste to Skyrim directory and launch that mod organizer through the Elysium folder. It’s that easy. Just rinse and repeat :) personally, I use the utility list and build themed modlists (My Interesting NPCs play though for an example) hope this makes sense!
So I don't have a "Game Folder Files". Trying to use the Living Skyrim 3 modlist but not having a good time trying to get it up and running (also can't download fast because Nexus Mods don't use the authentication process my bank demands so can't buy premium, took forever downloading everything).
Likely could be stock game folder. A lot of modlists changed over to that a few months after video was made. Check each folder to see if SKSE, ENB files, etc are in it. That’s what you are looking for. If you don’t have that, try to relaunch app, and run it again to get any missing files.
The information at 3:20 is not OK. Wabbajack downloads a standalone executable. It's not a traditional installer. If you want it to run from the "wabbajack mod installer" folder, you need to place the downloaded file there. The way you described it will run wabbajack from the download folder, and it will create a bunch of files in your download folder for the current version that it downloads at runtime. This works fine, but it will clutter up your download folder with wabbajack stuff you might accidentally delete someday.
I apologize, and you are correct. It honestly had been a minute before I had Installed it manually and so I am mistaken on that. You do need to install it out other downloads folder and end of the custom folder that you created. Good catch, as I don’t watch this as much lately and really since I made it. I do apologize for the inconvenience
@@PhyrexisGaming OK, now I am even more confused...lol...can you explain this in more layman's terms? What exactly is he talking about "information at 3:20 is not ok"? Pretend as though I am a 4 year old and you are explaining to me how to tie my shoes...lol.
Check for “Stock Game” folder! It’s the same thing. I don’t believe you need to copy the files over anymore. It has its own cloud in the folder it launches off of. You do need to move the enb files I believe though if you want to enb. If you don’t have that, try re running Wabbajack and overwrite the install folder. It shouldn’t take long, and will fetch any missing files or folders.
@Hichem sorry you feel that way man. Not sure what the one month sub costs now but it’s truly worth it. For years it didn’t cost a penny, so it was good while it lasted lol
What modlist are you using? I would try redownloading the list overwriting the installation. Before you do that though, are there any mods in the downloads folder of the same main folder MO2 is in?
@@PhyrexisGaming yes the mod downloaded properly, I copied the game folder into the Skyrim folder, but I also added the enb I to the Skyrim folder. Could that be the issue?
@@giraffesofluffy8070 Hmm.. It shouldn't be as long as you dragged the contents of those folders and not the folders themselves. It could be that you MO2 is thinking it's a brand new instance if there is another installation. At this point I would hit up the wabbajack discord my friend! The devs should be able to help you with this issue :) I apologize as I wish I could help, but I haven't heard of this happening too often, nor how to fix it other than redownloading. I apologize!
I wouldn’t update the mods manually. That’s up to you, but likely would need more patches, best just to wait for the modlist author to update the mods in the next update
Might try redownloading to see if any files were missed. Some of the modlists now have game stock folder, or stock folder instead of what’s in video. If that doesn’t work, for sure hit up the discord for support, as they will be able to help more than I can with my current schedule.
I don't get a games folder, it's not in "stock game" folder either....no clue 🤷♂️ I followed everything to the letter as well as being logged into Nexus and having a clean vanilla Skyrim with its own folders.... All mods downloaded but none auto extracted. Plenty of space. Absolutely flustered
Man, I’m sorry :/ the only thing I can think of would be to run it again and overwrite the folder. Could of not downloaded for some reason. Depending on the list you can check Wabbajacks discord for the list in particular, but every list should have a game folder of some Kind. Silly question, but have you checked every folder just to see if it’s labeled something different?
can you install other mods, with this one in particular installed? And hypothetically if i didnt like on of the pre-installed mods, could i delete them and replace them?
So, you could add mods if you know what you’re doing. You could delete some as well if you REALLY know what you’re doing. Would have to recreate the patches and go through everything to make sure it’s stable. Any edits you make by adding or altering in anyway automatically voids any support. I have someone in. My discord that added like 300 mods and made the patches and worked in xedit and such and hasn’t had any issues, but again, need to know what you’re doing and voids all support
Honestly, I haven’t tried but with AE dropping its probably gotten everything messed up. If a mod is “hidden” on nexus, it won’t download it and you will get an error. I would bet that a lot of modders are working on updating to the new script extender, and therefore aren’t available. Just my thoughts. If you haven’t already, check out the Wabbajack discord and the list you’re trying to download. They may have a work around, or mods to manually download there before you run it
Im trying to download the elysium remastered mod pack and the issue im having is ill start downloading and wabbajack will stop responding shortly after the download starts. Then i restart it. Any way to make this not happen?
Do wabbajack need to be in the same drive as the mod list? let's say i installed wabbajack in C drive can i download for example Elysium and put it in D drive ?
You should be able to yes. As far as I know, Wabbajack can set the path even from a different drive when you go to install the modlist. I only have one drive currently, so I haven’t tested it myself, but you should be able to do two different drives without issue
@@amytan6598 the creator of the modlist and support for installation would be in the discord :) sorry I can’t help :/ I’m not familiar with that list, and some lists are different where you may need different steps
Sorry for the delayed response! You’re best bet is joining the Wabbajack discord in description. I’m not entirely sure why it would be doing that, but they should be able to help you! Link is in description :)
@@scorpionking355 that makes sense! I’m so glad you got it figured out. I don’t have my games installed on 86 anymore and moved everything prior to starting to use Wabbajack. Will keep in mind moving forward though. So glad you got it worked out! Happy Modding!
@@PhyrexisGaming Sorry yes it's for Skyrim. I tried TPF and Legends of the Forest. No errors or popups, when I hit run, on steam it shows its loading then stops.
@@PhyrexisGaming This is my first time modding so I could be doing something wrong but I even uninstalled the game, and made a new directory outside of program files on a separate SSD to test it and its the same issue. I am not sure if its because I still have a cloud save for the game on Steam, I saw a recommendation to install a shredder but that file isn't available any longer on NexusMods.
@@AnthonyR9 try right clicking in steam, and verifying files. It’s the third option down that gives you this option. I apologize, my mind blanked and I’m not home near my computer! If that doesn’t work, I would try the discord for the modlist you’re trying to launch! Sorry I’m not more help :/
@@PhyrexisGaming It's all good, yeah I tried to verify the files. I did ask in the discord, havent gotten a reply yet but if I do find a fix I will be sure to let you know in case anyone has the same issue!! -- Thanks either way!
What’s your error message? Need a little more to go off of than that. Did you create a folder for the modlist to set to? Example create your folder for modlist, launch Wabbajack and select the modlist you want, set the path to the folder you made and it should automatically create either a downloads folder within the folder you set it to, or you can create a downloads folder elsewhere if you want your mods all together so it can access them. Also he sure to sign in to nexus with your account. Lastly, if you don’t have premium, you have to download every mod manually as it takes you one by one. Hopefully this helps. Best bet is to hit up the Wabbajack discord in description and join. From there, find your modlist and they can support there better than I can, best of luck!
If I had to guess could be an overload on the application itself, that or it ran out of room. Have you tried to restart it and see if it will pick up where it left off?
I’m honestly not too sure.. for it to fail on installation, I would take a guess that there is an archive missing. Does it say anything about unable to install archive or anything like that?
@@PhyrexisGaming this is odd, it like does all the mods but then it gets to the last ones, texture packs and it completes but it keeps failing on it because it says “cannot continue, was unable to download one or more archives” at the textures
If I had to guess, if it’s a Aldrnari it’s called stock game folder instead. Some modlists will do that. If there isn’t a folder with the SKSE 64 loader in it, you will need to try to re-download and override the files to get any files you may have missed
This video was made about a year ago. Some of the modlists have been taken down, hidden, or are marked as NSFW. To see more modlists, make sure to check the show NSFW mod lists. It should add more
@@PhyrexisGaming thanks. I'm having difficulty even with wabbajack. Ultimate skyrim vr has files missing so I can't download it . So far only Auriels dream managed to work.but I want a graphics heavy mod in vr so ill try librum an see if that works🙄. I spent thousands of dollars on my cpu and gpu, memory, and storage ect for this.
@@snapdragon9300 awe man.. I hope you can get it working! I’m not familiar at all with VR. If a file is missing, be sure to check the discord of Wabbajack and that modlist to see if there is a download pinned for the missing Download on another site!
Not sure which modlist you’re referring to, but all of my current Playthroughs I believe just use the experience mod and you level by killing enemies, doing quests and exploring
Some modlists that are newer may call it the stock game folder. I ran across that the other day. Do you have other folders that installed? If so, most likely the case. If not, not all files downloaded correctly most likely and would need to be reran
@@PhyrexisGaming I can check that when I get home but I previously installed this list (the phoenix flavour) without this issue just had issues running it so I reinstalled skyrim and the mod pack but idk what happend also the download went through completely but there was an issue it said I need to manually download a mod from nexus
@@boydolson5350 hmm.. not sure why it wouldn’t give it to You.. try again when you’re able to.. it’s semi rare, but I have heard of files not downloading. That, or they renamed the folder to something different like stock folder or something like that
OR if you’re trying to just run the game you could try taking the game file folder content from another list and try that, as most have the same other than different shader/ENB files
@@PhyrexisGaming I opened mod organizer and the pack contains 774 mods but it says only 701 are active but I can open and run the game and even though I have a mid spec pc I cant run it very well at all
Do you need to have Nexus Premium in order for the mods to be automatically installed? So far Wabbajack has been prompting me to manually download each mod one at a time.
You don’t have to have premium, but it drastically reduces the download process and does it automatically for you as well. The way you see in the video with a premium account is just click and go. I haven’t done it manually personally, but with the auto downloads it takes an hour or two depending on the size. With that being said, it takes significantly longer to do manually, and can time out if you wait too long which requires a lot of restarting the application. If you can afford it, i strongly suggest getting a months worth for 5 dollars. If you can’t I understand, but undoubtedly makes the process a lot easier and faster. Best of luck!
@@PhyrexisGaming I just installed without premium. Took like 3-4 hours of clicking while watching youtube and had to go to bed and wake up to another hour of clicking. Keep in mind I would zone out sometimes and forget to click. Either way that was a hell of a grind but better than trying to add 950 mods my self.
hey man trying to install wabbajack I've done it before but now when I try to launch wabbajack it's stuck in an infinite loading screen. Any tips? Ive deleted the local data file already and reinstalled and still nothing
No issues. It does help run a little smoother if modlist is on same drive as Skyrim, but I have my steam games on one drive and Wabbajack modlists on another and have no issues
Did you copy all game file folder files to your main directory? It’s harder to troubleshoot with that as usually it could be quite a few things (skselauncher not in game directory, missing file from base game, left over mods conflicting. specific instructions post installation for that modlist, something didn’t download properly etc… best bet would be check with the discord of the list you installed for support. They may have a fix, or common issue that has a certain fix!
@@PhyrexisGaming yes I did. But the game folder files is called stock game for mine, but all I know is I’ve deleted Skyrim and made it vanilla 3 times and deleted all previous mods, and moved steam out of program files. I’ve downloaded this mod list 4 times in a row and when I go to mod organizer it runs the game in steam and then it closes.
Hmm… gonna sound strange, but if using ENB are you using most updated files for ENB support? Not the ENB itself, but what you get from ENBDev.com? I’m honestly not too sure. If I had to guess, I would say you’re trying to play Aldrnari. I would double check the discord as I’m not sure :(
@@Jeremydoescalisthenics oh! Hey, gonna be honest, that did the same for me. I couldn’t get it to work, or figure out what was wrong at least if I’m being honest
in Quest modpack, how do i activate the map in the top of the screen and how do i make the game brighter? original options dont work and the game is so dark
If you’re using ENB, brightness needs to be tweaked in game according to ENB. The map in the top of the screen you can’t customize unfortunately, as it’s an in place minimap that I had added
@@user-me7iw6ft8z oh! Sorry yes that is the mimimap mod. I had installed that mod on my own, it’s not a part of QWEST. This is the mod if interested. www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/49490

hey man im trying to run the ultimate vr essentials list on mod organizer, but whenever i click run, the main menu opens extremely laggy and crashes a few seconds later. i have a pretty good pc so i know thats not the issue but i was wondering if you know what is?
I haven’t had that happen to me personally. I’ve never used VR, is I don’t think that My PC could run it, so I don’t have the gear. Nothing else is running that would hog resources from the VR gear right? Have you tried restarting your pc? Try redownloading the modlist, it may have missed something. Lastly, I would try the discord for your modlist support. I apologize, I don’t have much experience with VR lists
I’m sorry man, I don’t know what would be causing it other than maybe a missing file. If it wasn’t missing file though, I figured that it would actually just not lunch. Did you read the read me for post Installation instructions? Each modlist is different, and some have some sets that you must do after the fact of installing. If you have I would hit up the Discord, as they have specific support for the modlist
@@PhyrexisGaming So I'm trying to download Elysium and it's failing to download a bunch of bsa and esm files. These are base and dlc game right? I assume it's assuming I've pirated the game maybe? It's also missing xLODGen.84 and Nemisis but I can get that last one myself as I've used it in the past. I have indeed restarted it a good few times, tried the workaround and lowering threads but no luck Thanks for the reply btw!

Double check with the Wabbajack discord, because if you break the modlist by adding mods they more then likely won’t help, but for my horror play through series I used a utility modlist that makes the game stable and added about 300 mods on top of it to make my own “modlist” I would think as long as you don’t add anything that edits visuals then you should be good to go, but again, check and join the discord first to make sure. Happy modding!
@@PhyrexisGaming I am indeed inside the discord. May I also ask for example I downloaded TVO..and maybe there are a couple of mods inside TVO that I am not quite flavour. Example RuDy Enb is included in the TVO mod pack. Because is it all these mod are install In MO2. So lets say in MO2 i don like the rudy enb that are included. I can just un-tick the box on the left side. And add my own enb with it ? Possible right ?
@@vernonvernon6663 you’re best bet would be to ask this question in the discord, as I’m not an official modlist supporter or creator, they are very active and should be able to get a correct answer for you. I just don’t want to give advice on something that I personally haven’t tried, but again just ask in discord and they should be able to guide you :)
It should have an install path of where you install it when actually setting up the exe. If not, check program files x86, searching Wabbajack on your pc and opening file location, or if you have desktop icon (should be a program/exe technically, you can launch it that way from your start menu or find it that way
wabbajack says could not locate skyrim special edition... even though i have it official check! i have redownloaded it check! what the hell is going on? (not check :'( )
I’m honestly not to sure on that one.. do you own a legal copy of steam? I would hit up the Wabbajack discord for support. I’m honestly not too sure, I’m sorry! Let me know if you get a hold of them they are constantly mods there for support!
@@PhyrexisGaming i found it i moved the whole steam outside of program files (x86) and it worked i am downloading Elysium right now do you know the major things it offers? i mean i have seen it but i want a more personal opinion :)
Adds tons of new content really. The major things it adds are in the read me of it :) it s a LOTD list, but also has ramped up the difficulty a bit as well. Tons new items spells etc.. I actually have a let’s play of this list on my channel if you want a peak at gameplay!
@@PhyrexisGaming Now that's a fast reaction! :D It doesn't seem to automatically continue as of right now. I will check again tomorrow. Keep you posted!
Please do! I know when it hangs up or crashes, usually a simple relaunch will fix it. Overwriting won’t hurt it really, it just rechecks the files and then goes from there. Might be worth a shot :)
@@PhyrexisGaming Well, i've bought a subscription for one month now as I could not bring up the time and effort to click download a 1827 times or so. The download does not automatically restart when starting up Wabbajack. So I just check the overwrite box and proceed to download once more.
Hmm.. I would try that. To he honest it’s been a little bit since I last installed a list, but that should work. Should a download fail, check the Wabbajack discord to see if the mod is pinned on another site to manually download. Aldrnari for example has about 20 mods to manually Download and add manually to your download folder.
Im downloading a mod pack and meanwhile it downloads it shows a message in the console that puts: Requesting manual download for "Mod name* Its a problem? or is normal? Thank you for answering
Haven’t seen that yet, but should be able to just look up the download it’s asking for, download it, and place in the downloads folder where you store your mods for the list and restart Wabbajack and it should work!
Hmm.. it should. If you’re getting an error on a certain file, try checking and seeing first if it’s hidden on nexus. If so, it can’t download that file. Secondly, be sure to check the read me if you haven’t, as sometimes there are specifically mods that Wabbajack has trouble downloading, so you will need to manually download the mods listed (it gives links if so) and place them in your wabbjack downloads folder: Thirdly if the first two recommendations don’t work, check the Wabbajack discord and your modlist you’re trying to download and see if they have any pinned mods that you may be having trouble downloading. Lastly, as far as I know it should work for windows 7, but you might check the discord if all else fails. It’s hard to truly tell, as I haven’t tried to download a modlist since AE dropped, but with mod authors trying to update their mods to the lastest SKSE script after the update, it’s highly possible the mod is hidden while they work, which if it is cannot be downloaded. I hope this helps!
Brother, I’ve been trying to look into it but can’t find anything in particular. Try the Wabbajack discord for support. They should be able to Point you in the right direction of fixing it! :) discord.gg/wabbajack
I’m in the mod manager and sometimes it runs but most times it doesn’t . I’ve gotten everything installed as well so I’m not really sure what to do . Also when I do get it to run it is super zoomed in and I can’t really see anything . When I boot up regular Skyrim on steam it’s framed fine. I’d appreciate any help I could get been trying to get this to work all day.
On steam? Confused by your question. If you need to move steam out of program files x86 you need to uninstall steam (at least it’s what I did) and when reinstalling, make a path like this (drive you want example would be like C drive and make a new folder path from that. Should just need to make the steam folder itself on your c drive and have it install in that folder. Note this will delete any save data you have on other games as well :/ that’s at least what I did. Hope this helps
I am trying to install a mod and for every file the Wabbajack is pausing, takes to nexus mod and makes me download thing manually. Is this how it goes?
By default yes. I think it’s 5 dollars (not even that I think) for a nexus premium account. With it, it will uncap your download speeds from 1mb and will automagically download for you without you having to download manually. It’s for sure worth it if you can spare it. Best of luck!
I don’t think so. There’s not a way to move your Skyrim out of the steam folder or the installation of of steam and where the games go to two separate areas I don’t think. I could be wrong, but I honestly wouldn’t know how to do that if so. Sorry!
Unfortunately depending on what the mods or the list in particular, if it’s under maintenance the only thing to do is to wait. Usually it’s down due to mod being updated or hidden
Check for a stock games folder! Most of the lists have that now. I’m honestly not sure if you still need to copy the files, but it couldn’t hurt. If you don’t have stock game folder or game Folder files, try rerunning Wabbajack to overwrite installation in case it missed something.
You could copy the files from stock game folder and paste to your Skyrim game folder. Then from there should be able to launch the Mod Organizer in the modlist folder you installed and launch from there after you read the read me and after installation instructions for the list if anything.
I would back up your game folder before you do. But should be safe to do So. Did you read the read me? Like the Instructions once the installation is complete
What if my modpack didn't install the Game Folder Files?? Should I try reinstalling the entire modpack? I keep getting "couldnt find skyrimSE.exe" every time I try to launch.
SMEFT is only really if you want the basic bug fixes before making your own list, and downloading mods to that list. All the other lists are already curated to be ready to go out of the box, other than copying the game file folder to your base game folder. A list will never have two lists in one. I hope that makes sense
@@PhyrexisGaming yes thank you for the fast response even with how old this video is im impressed, with the AE coming out tomorrow im rushed to try and get this done so i can stop auto update etc THANKS AGAIN
I am honestly not sure, and I’m not near my computer. Elysium does add a ton of mods, so it’s possible. If you launch Wabbajack and find Elysium, you can click the modlist and it will show all mods included
@@Hobfuscate does it give you an option to set pathway? Or just blue bar loads and nothing else comes up? I would try exiting out of Wabbajack and relaunching it and trying again. If that doesn’t fix it, join the Wabbajack discord, they have support for Elysium there as well! I’m sorry but I haven’t heard of that error
That’s the first I personally have heard of this and haven’t a clue. Do you have a clean installation of Skyrim through steam? Installed outside of program files x86? Your best bet is to go to the Wabbajack discord for support bud, as I haven’t the faintest idea on that. What modlist was it in particular?
it says im unable to download one or more archives for TUDM Ultimate Dodge. im wondering if there is a way to disable a mod for this list or if there is a way around this. the mod list im trying to play is elysium
Have you checked the discord for Elysium? It’s a derivative off the Wabbajack Discord. Sometimes they will have you download a pinned mod and put it in the downloads folder, if not unfortunately you will have to wait for Titansbane to update the list. I would check the discord first though, as I seem to recall there is a pinned download or link to the mod to manually download, and drop it in the Elysium downloads folder. I would check there first though
@@PhyrexisGaming if I go into my downloaded mods folder for Elysium I can locate the mod but I still get the error. I’ll join the discord server and see if I can replace the mods or if there have been similar issues. Thank you!
Hmm.. could be it didn’t download properly. Try deleting the mod it’s failing to recognize and relaunching Wabbajack and redownloading the list. You shouldn’t lose progress, as the other mods are there. That will give it a chance to redownload the mod In question if it is TUDM
8:46 I keep running into this problem and I'm not sure what I need to do to fix it. I have tried moving the skse64_loader to different folders and nothing seems to get the game to start. Any help with this would be appreciated :)
Hmm.. the game folder contents should go into your skyrim directory, it’s the same folder the launcher is located. What is the exact error? I know since making this video if it states can’t find the path and asks for permission to manage it, clicking yes will launch the game and fix it, but other than that if it’s in the folder it’s supposed to be in and it’s not that error I would try the Wabbajack discord my friend!
@@PhyrexisGaming Thanks man, I'll give that a shot. Really appreciate the quick response and the video in general. It helped me at least get to the last step of setting up the mods. Subbed.
@@PhyrexisGaming So I couldn't figure it out. I factory reset my computer (not a big deal, got it a week ago so there wasn't much on there anyway) so I could start everything over totally fresh. The exact error I was getting was the exact one that popped up on your screen at 8:46 . I'm going through the whole process again so I'll let you know if it works.
@@rm5537 dang.. I’m sorry! You’re launching the MO2 from the modlist folder you created right? You could try joining my discord and may be able to get it sorted there if you like?
Can the "game folder files" files co-mingle in the steam common path with other wabbajack modpack "game folder files" files seamlessly? (running 2 modpacks on the same game?) I wanna confirm before I butcher my Ultimate Skyrim saves accidentally lol.
NO. If the gamefolder files are identical (SKSE) and add nothing else, then you can launch a different modlist through its Mod Organizer, and it should work fine, however, it’s always the safest bet to return your base game folder back to vanilla before using another modlist, and copying the game folder files over to the vanilla game folder. So basically you can leave the base Skyrim alone if the game folder files are the exact same and launch the other list you’re wanting to play. Safest bet is to make sure you restore the game folder to vanilla though, and copy game folder files from there.
I’ve been thinking about trying Wabbajack. However, I’m a longtime MO2 user, with tons of mods already downloaded, and a lot of existing profiles. And of course, I use skse, and ENB. So my root game directory is not vanilla. I get the feeling Wabbajack will not play well with that scenario. Any thoughts 😏?
Besides the ENB files, you folder should be vanilla since Mod organizer doesn’t touch your root directory. Have you installed any mods manually? Every Modlist through Wabbajack uses a separate Mod Organizer instance, it should be fine. If you have other mods left over though, and your folder isn’t vanilla, I can’t guarantee that it won’t mess that up. I have about four or five modlists on my PC that I switch between. The reason I can’t do this is because it’s all based on a cloud that mod organizer uses.
@@PhyrexisGaming Yes, I understand. My Skyrim root is vanilla, but also contains SKSE .dlls and enb .dlls. I manage all the mods via MO. I guess, what I’m really getting at, is how much of a pita it will be to switch between my own profiles, and the Wabbajack mod lists. Thanks for replying!
If it’s just the SKSE dlls and enb files, I would say it would be fine. I run the same ENB files, and SKSE files, for all my modlists. However, the custom SKSE files you’re using might be an issue if the modlist already contains that mod with that plug-in. Does that make sense? It’s up to you, as technically it wouldn’t touch your folder, and since it’s a separate model organizer instance and launcher within the modlist folder, I don’t think that it would override anything or really break anything. However, I’m not an expert.
@@PhyrexisGaming Yes. I think that’s the piece of info I was missing: the separate instance of MO. At least that won’t interfere with my current setup, and existing profiles. Assuming any mod lists from Wabbajack are all compatible with the version of SKSE I have, then all will be well. I’ll start with a small one and go from there. Thanks for your help! I’m enjoying your streams and playthroughs.
Could be stock game folder as well. You shouldn’t have to copy past from there as they have it to where if it has that it should work without. Quite a bit happened since I made this video. May need to make another one. If you don’t have that, try reinstalling and overwrite your folder you made. May of not downloaded everything
@@PhyrexisGaming appreciate the quick reply, unfortunately I'm at work but from other vids I've seen I just needed to activate the mods in the mod manager, don't quote me on that though I'm not at my PC to see if it works lol.
I tried to install wildlander but i have no clue what to press to launch, when i launch the stock game in the folder the textures are fucked up and it crashes
Did you copy what’s in the stock game to your directory of base game? Typically I redirect to the Wabbajack discord since there are so many different modlists
Do you have a premium nexus account? I haven’t used it with manual downloads, so if you are using manual downloads please see the discord. If you have premium for automatic downloads when you copy the game folder files into your Skyrim directory you launch the mod organizer in the folder you made for install (example would be the NOIR folder in this video) and all mods will be there in the manager. Your main folder is untouched with actual mods. They are tied to the mod manager you launch in the folder you installed to. I hope this makes sense
@@PhyrexisGaming Nvm ik what you're saying now is there a way i can delete everything in the data folder in the game directory and then copy what i need from the game folder files again (I dont care about old saves or mods just trying to get this modlist to work)
@@colinhart4796 if you delete everything inside your Skyrim game folder EXCEPT Data folder, Skyrim folder, binkw64.dll, GPU, high, installscript.vdf, low, medium, Skyrim.ccc, Skyrim_default, SkyrimSE, SkyrimSELauncher, steam_api64.dll, and ultra that should be vanilla. Make sure all mods are removed from other managers so that your folder isn’t touched. Launch steam after fo verify integrity to recover any files just in game, and launch game to title screen
Tried installing living Skyrim 3 a few times. Failed every time. Looked up errors and fixes. Nothing. Tried Elysian and others as alternatives. All failed. Downloads are at the last couple then some are aborted and can’t find etc. any advice?
Have you tried exiting and restarting the application? Sometimes it takes multiple times of restarting. I’ve had it take a LONG time at one modlist and freeze up. Keep trying to restart, as it sometimes doesn’t get done In one go. Try the discord as well, they may have another fix :)
@@PhyrexisGaming thanks for the quick response! Yes I have restarted a few times. I’ll keep trying with the downloads and restarting. Also, it seems to be failing at the same mod archive each time.
@@armybrat0353 typically if it’s the same mod it will say why it’s failing to download. Is it actually failing to download? Or is it just not completing download? Some mod lists have a download to the needed file that you drop in the downloads folder and rerun Wabbajack. It could possibly be that
Have you tried the Wabbajack discord? Easiest way for troubleshooting is searching the support channel for what you are experiencing. More times than not, it’s listed in a question where someone has responded. It’s worth getting it working, but on the same hand I’m not affiliated or associated with Wabbajack. Heck, my video isn’t even the linked tutorial any more lol. I try and help out of the goodness of my heart, but I’m not official support, and unfortunately don’t know why all the errors happen :(
im getting qwest, and i wanna have steam acevemnts active, but im pretty sure steam overlays will completely ruin some of the mods *as it tends to do* but anyways excited to play my 80th modded time in Skyrim.
As far as I know, modding Skyrim automatically makes it where you cannot unlock achievements in Skyrim. There is a mod funnily enough I believe, that enables them again, but I’m not personally sure with the steam overlays but happy modding!!
@@PhyrexisGaming oh I meant that mod that allows it lol, the biggest problem, is i dont have premium, so i have to click, click, click... and click. not the worst, might get life time prem one day.
@@Honed- indeed it takes a while! You can do a months time subscription to it for I think 3 or 4 dollars. I understand times are tough though and everyone’s situation is different. I downloaded a modlist overnight last night. It saves a lot of time!
I tried to install Elysium(SkyrimSE) and at the end of the download, it said that I had failed the installation because it couldn't download certain archives? and for some mods, I kept getting abort during download trying again. it tries to fix itself but it then says it can't resolve the issue. :/ I've heard that I just keep trying to install it until it finally gets all the things it needs but I'd like someone else opinion. ty! oh, btw I have nexus premium and have it linked!
Hmm.. have you tried clearing the cache of Wabbajack? Usually if a download fails it is because the mod was updated or is a different version. If all else fails too unfortunately sometimes it is trial and error of restarting it until it sticks.. Have you asked in the Wabbajack discord? They have a lot of Admins that actually run the program and maintenance, and would know more then I. I’m sorry! 😢 I wish I had a better answer for you!
@@PhyrexisGaming no worries! ty for your response. ye I decided that I should go to the discord for help. honestly, I think I might just have to download some stuff manually but it could just be me being a goof. ty again for the help though :D
It won’t be in mod organizer.. it should he in the game folder directory or stock game folder. Should just be click and go. If not, try redownloading and last ditch check the discord for that modlist.
Ty for this guide but I was wondering if it would be possible to add new mods in addition to the modlist that I downloaded. I know it is not a good idea because the modlist is already huge and adding new mods would stop some mods from working. But are there exceptions? Are mods ok that don't add big changes? For example a new armor set, a new follower or a new soundtrack.
I myself have added some mods on top of it, HOWEVER it does void any support if you break it or run into issues. For me I’ve added stuff that doesn’t touch other things that are altered or has it’s own custom script. It’s up to you and best is just to test and check if it’s overwriting everything and don’t go crazy 😂 I’ve added new armor sets in my play throughs though. End of the day you always run a risk of breaking by added mods and it’s best to just leave it be, but to each their own, but again you will void support if you add mods yourself on top of the modlist. Best of luck!
@@PhyrexisGaming alright thank you for the quick reply. But before i test anything out, i have to inform myself about mod organizer first, because idk how to use it 😂. Until now i always used vortax. Also I have been wondering if i can delete the download files after the installation with wabbajack or does it stop the mods from working in any way?
@@Lyzarion are you talking about the downloads folder in the custom game folder you made? You should be able to delete the downloads out of that folder, although can save some heartache for updates download the line having to redownload it. As for MO2 it’s pretty easy once you get used to it. I used to use NMM and Vortex too, and I’m sold on MO2. So much better in organizing and modding in general
@@PhyrexisGaming thats right, i meant those in the custom folder i created. Well i guess i will be keeping the folder then, dont want to spend hours again downloading those files haha. Thank you again for your support. You earned a sub ^^
@@Lyzarion please to have ya man! I plan on doing a living Skyrim 3 play through as well along side my Elysium one if you’re curious of how they play. Let me know how your play through goes!
i am so late to this video, i followed all of the steps to the bone and whenever a modlist is done installing, im not having a "game file folder" inside of the modlist folder. anyone know a solution for this?
So I've been through the comments and there seems to be a lot of issues so wanna help out for people in the future. 1) I've seen people getting the 'installation failed' error after downloading the mod list. Reddit appears to advocate moving the downloads folder outside of the installation folder before initiating the download. 2) People are having issues saying it can't locate the skyrim.exe file. You need to have skyrim downloaded on your C drive NOT your programme files!
There u go
@@henrydavis229 nice, been away for a while. Quite a bit has changed since I made the original video. Pinned.

Frustrating the hell out of me the fact i was over 2 hours for an install that gets to the last steps and fails n no matter how many types i close and reopen wabbajack to retry it always fails it makes no sense to me
Same issue, this app is absolute trash. Just download mod organizer 2 and download the mods yourself
I've read some people have this issue. Try making placing the downloads folder outside of the install folder and try again
Hey, I'm one of the admins for Wabbajack. Just wanted to say thanks for this extremely informative video. A few observations:
You don't need to manually create the Downloads folder. That path will autofill when you select the installation path (assuming you haven't touched the downloads path field), and Wabbajack will create the folder for you.
That Noir readme screenshot was mildly ridiculous, I'm gonna see about changing that one...
Other than that, very well done. I'm going to talk to the other admins and see about making a command that pulls up a link to this video so we can use it as a sort of official tutorial. Thanks again!

Sorry to bother you man, but I spent all weekend following videos including this one and the instructions in wabbajack to try and install the Phoenix Flavour Dragon's Edition but everytime after it takes all that time to download i get an "installation failed". I read somewhere online that there may be a patch or something I have to download manually but nowhere can I find instructions or advice on how to do this. Would you happen to have any advice, tips, guide or something that would allow an extreme newbie like myself to be able to install this? Does the Phoenix Flavour have to be installed first before the Dragon's edition can be? I'm not a total idiot, but brand new to PC gaming and zero experience with modding. Thanks!
Hey there! You shouldn’t need Phoenix flavor to install dragons edition. Have you checked the pinned messages on the discord? Sometimes they will have a link there for a mod or two that Wabbajack has difficulty downloading, or a site that isn’t nexus mods. It could be possible that the download is hidden, removed, or has been updated. If that’s the case, unfortunately there’s nothing you can do but wait. I would try the discord first though :)
@@PhyrexisGaming I'm having the same issue, installation failed after the download and then the mod folder has nothing but 7z and .rar files without any of the folders or executables shown in the video. I tried redoing it all without antivirus on as well with no luck. There do seem to be several files that aren't able to be downloaded and I'm not totally sure why. I've followed all of your instructions very carefully on your installation guide and keep coming to the same result which is a failed installation.
@@hronk hey there! I would try rerunning if you haven’t already. Are you saying you gave the downloaded files (mods) but you don’t have any of the other folders? It’s possible that it missed the other assets, and rerunning wabbjack to overwrite installation and picking the folder that you created for the modlist should fix it. If not, hit up the Wabbajack discord, (it’s in description) and they should be able to help guide you depending on what list you’re trying to install
I installed a modlist, but none of the mods are showing up in MO2. I put all the files needed into the skyrim SE steam directory.
Might try rerunning Wabbajack. There will be a downloads folder that it accessed and installed from. It likely is missing files. Worse case, hit up the discord if that doesn’t work for support for the modlist. It may be having an issue
I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I keep getting an error that it can’t find skse64_loader.exe does not exist 😒😩. I downloaded the Elysium Remastered (took almost 24hrs for 500gb file) I followed the install instructions to install Root…but I still don’t truly know what I’m doing…I may just give up and play regular…this is like my 5th time trying to use mod2 with Loot and Fnis and skse etc…I’m pretty worn out mentally at this stage 😔
May just go the dry and dirty route through vortex and just get a few visual mods 🤷🏽♀️
Man… I’m sorry to hear the trouble. I truly get modding fatigue, I truly do. If you’ve already downloaded the file and just won’t launch, you could try copying the stock game folder files to the base game folder files. Make sure it’s actually there. Or, if it’s not there and it’s just the skse files, you could always manually drag the files (get it from silver lock I think? Been a while)
If I were you though, I would join the Wabbajack discord. The link is in the description. Once there, I would find the Elysium modlist, and search in the text (top right of screen on discord) that very error or key wording. It likely is a simple fix for what you’re experiencing.
IF your pc can run it, I can promise you the wait and effort are truly worth it my friend. Again, I would take an hour or so and just step away and do something else, play another game, etc. I wish you the best of luck, I truly do.
thank you for this! I love bethesda games, i wanted to play them, but then i think, i need to install some mods, wow i need to search each file and instal. Losing hours and hours, but this tool, so powerful, now i can enjoy bethesda games with just a couple of clicks, thanks! Gonna play some oblivion with Through The Valleys mod pack. :)
So happy to hear! :) this is what it’s all about, happy modding!
@phyrexisgmaing Thank you for the tutorial, one question though: Ive downloaded the Phoenix Flavor Modpack and seems like there isnt a "Game Folder Files" Folder. Do you know what I would have to look for?
Could be called stock game folder or stock folder. It will have SKSE and game folder files in it
Don't works for me (I'm trying to install a fallout 4 modlist ), "Can't find game Fallout4"
Help please
Every game is a little different. I would hit up the modlist on discord that you’re trying to install for support. I apologize for not being more help
@@PhyrexisGaming Don't worry, you make a good video, I try with Skyrim and it works, a lot of thanks!
I have a weird issue. I downloaded LS2 and installed a fresh copy of Skyrim SE, I run MO2 and change the path to point to my game folder which is C://SteamLibrary ect
MO2 recognizes that and it shows correct in the settings. But when I hit Launch it gives me an error saying : skse in D://Steam bla bla does not exist.. My game is not in D and I changed the path to where it is, but MO2 still points to the wrong path and I have no idea why that is or how to change it/fix it..
Hmm... I’m honestly not too sure... did you use mod organizer to mod your game before this? And did you make sure to copy all the game folder files and launch mod organizer from the custom folder you made?
Your best bet is to hit up the Wabbajack discord. I’m sorry but I haven’t ran into this issue at all. If I can help I will, but currently at a loss..
@@PhyrexisGaming Thanks for the reply, I found the problem. I initially changed the path in the settings. But I also had to change the path of the executables separately. Once I've done that, it's working flawlessly! Hope this also helps someone else ^^
Great to hear!! Happy modding 😃
It says "Could not locate Morrowind" every time, and that's it, cannot fix it no matter what i do, and there is no info online about this whatsoever.
Do you own a legal copy through steam? Is it outside of program files x86? I honestly haven’t tried installing a morrowind modlist. Have you tried the discord support for that modlist? Might be the best bet
I'm getting an installation failed message, where did I go wrong?
It could be a failed download. Try to edit it of Wabbajack and relaunch. A few different factors go in. Your best bet is to join the Wabbajack discord. They offer support there that should sort things out. Best of luck!
I have a problem with verifying my skyrim
My download want start because it doesnt detect my skyrim and it also doesnt verify once i lunchnit on steam
Is it a legal copy? If so may try uninstalling and reinstalling and removing any altered files. It should let you verify files, it doesn’t require you to launch the game exe to check for it to my knowledge
@@PhyrexisGaming i have and
does it count skse files as altered?
Because thats the only thing I added manualy
Best bet would be clean install. I would install outside of program files x86 if you haven’t. Note this will wipe the rest of games installed, and saves if you do this. I can’t speak for if SKSE count as altered, but if it’s not in the base game folder, then would be considered altered.
@@PhyrexisGaming thanks then i will try it out tomorrow
And hopefully it will work this caus its my last free day
Awesome video! This will definitely help!
Thank you so much!
My download for WABBAJACK failed. It says failed to access path could not find a part of the path… please help
You could try moving the Wabbajack path to a different folder. Example C drive / Wabbajack folder / Wabbajack exe

Lmao jokes aside, Ive been busy trying to learn wabbajack on my own. Turns out I really need this video lol. Vortex made things so easy I thought I was too stupid for stuff like Wabbajack. But now Im gonna attempt to use this new knowledge to finally clean up my new vegas mods since my pc is shit lol. Have a good day man.

@@dannydove3594 hahaha thank you!!
When I run the installation of MOISE which is for Morrowind, the slides continue through each mod but my download folder stays empty. After this I realized it says in the terminal kind of part "Could not locate Morrowind" . Do I have to somehow tell Wabbajack where the game is?
I’m honestly not too sure. I mean, as long as it’s a copy on steam on the same drive as the rest I would think it would automatically locate it, however I haven’t tried that myself.
Have you tried reaching out in Wabbajack discord? They support there! I’m sorry as I wish I could help, but honestly don’t know.
@@PhyrexisGaming I just now joined the discord channel but there doesn't seem to be a support dedicated text channel. (There is a one called "Discord-help" but it seems that's for discord related help)

i'm having touble downloading the Elysium and Don't Go Gentle packs, keep getting failed when downloading both of those.
Does it say unable to download something? Could be a that a file is hidden
@@PhyrexisGaming Unable to download one or more archive.
@@PhyrexisGaming Any other Mod Pack on wabbajack that is as pretty as Elysium but actually downloads correctly?
@@elrosith88 if it isn’t in the discord it likely is set to hidden. Unfortunately most modlists share the same main mods so it’s likely they won’t download. The good news is once the mod is set from hidden to seen, you can rerun the launcher and it will pick up where it left off. You may try to re run it, and if that doesn’t work then check out the Wabbajack discord and your list you’re trying to download and see if there is a pinned message about a certain mod that wont down load that’s on another site.
After installing WabbaJack it says it has an unknown error. And it says to move my Wabbajack out of the downloads folder because that folder has alot of antivirus scans which makes WabbaJack work less or something. How come even after I moved it to a different drive every startup it just says unknown error and I can't do anything. Boy am I BUMMED OUT ITS ALWAYS SOMETHING!
Your best bet would be the discord. I know they have had some issues recently, and haven’t had time to keep up with it the past month or so.. if you take the error you’re getting and go to the Wabbajack discord they should be able to help there more effectively. I apologize
this is probably a dumb question but does this work with fallout new vegas? i know you mentioned it should work with every game but the files are a lot different since im installing viva new vegas and i wanna be 100% sure im doing things right since i've been trying to remod new vegas the past few days lol
It does, yes! The process is a little different, but you just follow the read me :)
Hey dumb question but how do I install the ENB I followed the mod authors guide but it won't load in?
Make sure you have the enb series files. If the enb comes with the modlist you just drag and drop files in your game directory with SKSEloader. Then you just launch the game. Top left screen should have text pop up if done correctly
Hi, where do you copy and paste the other builds to? I have managed get the Kiezaal build up and running and was wondering if I wanted (for example) the NOIR build would it be the exact same process? (With own folder in the games folder) Thank you for your previous help by the way, the cheque is in the post :-) )
So when you are wanting to run more then one modlist, simply delete the game folder files that you added to your Skyrim directory from the previous modlist installed (example would be like NOIR) Then copy the game files from the new modlist (example Elysium) that you’re wanting to use and paste to Skyrim directory and launch that mod organizer through the Elysium folder. It’s that easy. Just rinse and repeat :) personally, I use the utility list and build themed modlists (My Interesting NPCs play though for an example) hope this makes sense!
@@PhyrexisGaming Many thanks. Sorry for the delay in thanking you but I have only just received the notification that I have had a reply.
So I don't have a "Game Folder Files".
Trying to use the Living Skyrim 3 modlist but not having a good time trying to get it up and running (also can't download fast because Nexus Mods don't use the authentication process my bank demands so can't buy premium, took forever downloading everything).
Likely could be stock game folder. A lot of modlists changed over to that a few months after video was made. Check each folder to see if SKSE, ENB files, etc are in it. That’s what you are looking for. If you don’t have that, try to relaunch app, and run it again to get any missing files.
The information at 3:20 is not OK. Wabbajack downloads a standalone executable. It's not a traditional installer. If you want it to run from the "wabbajack mod installer" folder, you need to place the downloaded file there. The way you described it will run wabbajack from the download folder, and it will create a bunch of files in your download folder for the current version that it downloads at runtime. This works fine, but it will clutter up your download folder with wabbajack stuff you might accidentally delete someday.
I apologize, and you are correct. It honestly had been a minute before I had Installed it manually and so I am mistaken on that. You do need to install it out other downloads folder and end of the custom folder that you created.
Good catch, as I don’t watch this as much lately and really since I made it. I do apologize for the inconvenience
@@PhyrexisGaming OK, now I am even more confused...lol...can you explain this in more layman's terms? What exactly is he talking about "information at 3:20 is not ok"? Pretend as though I am a 4 year old and you are explaining to me how to tie my shoes...lol.
so what happens if everything is working great but there is no game files folder. i downloaded wildlander dont know if that changes anything.
Check for “Stock Game” folder! It’s the same thing. I don’t believe you need to copy the files over anymore. It has its own cloud in the folder it launches off of. You do need to move the enb files I believe though if you want to enb.
If you don’t have that, try re running Wabbajack and overwrite the install folder. It shouldn’t take long, and will fetch any missing files or folders.
Can confirm u should have paid nexus I’ve been here for 6 hours installing Elysium and it’s still not done
Dang!! Sorry about that :( ya, premium speeds things up exceedingly. Sorry it’s taking so long!
@Hichem sorry you feel that way man. Not sure what the one month sub costs now but it’s truly worth it. For years it didn’t cost a penny, so it was good while it lasted lol
I followed the instructions to the letter but when I open mod organizer it doesn’t show any mods :/
What modlist are you using? I would try redownloading the list overwriting the installation. Before you do that though, are there any mods in the downloads folder of the same main folder MO2 is in?
@@PhyrexisGaming yes the mod downloaded properly, I copied the game folder into the Skyrim folder, but I also added the enb I to the Skyrim folder. Could that be the issue?
@@giraffesofluffy8070 Hmm.. It shouldn't be as long as you dragged the contents of those folders and not the folders themselves. It could be that you MO2 is thinking it's a brand new instance if there is another installation. At this point I would hit up the wabbajack discord my friend! The devs should be able to help you with this issue :) I apologize as I wish I could help, but I haven't heard of this happening too often, nor how to fix it other than redownloading. I apologize!
@@PhyrexisGaming No problem, thanks for trying! I’ll hit up the discord :)
@@giraffesofluffy8070 let me know how it goes!
Hey sir quick question. How would you update the mods when they pop up in MO2 for the Wabbajack list?
I wouldn’t update the mods manually. That’s up to you, but likely would need more patches, best just to wait for the modlist author to update the mods in the next update
after downloading wildlander and installed it there were no game files to copy
Might try redownloading to see if any files were missed. Some of the modlists now have game stock folder, or stock folder instead of what’s in video. If that doesn’t work, for sure hit up the discord for support, as they will be able to help more than I can with my current schedule.
I don't get a games folder, it's not in "stock game" folder either....no clue 🤷♂️
I followed everything to the letter as well as being logged into Nexus and having a clean vanilla Skyrim with its own folders....
All mods downloaded but none auto extracted. Plenty of space.
Absolutely flustered
Man, I’m sorry :/ the only thing I can think of would be to run it again and overwrite the folder. Could of not downloaded for some reason. Depending on the list you can check Wabbajacks discord for the list in particular, but every list should have a game folder of some Kind.
Silly question, but have you checked every folder just to see if it’s labeled something different?
@@PhyrexisGaming
Everything is to the letter.
Redoing everything from scratch to see if it takes this time....
Before you do, I would try the discord for your list. It can’t hurt, and someone may have already had the issue with the list
@@PhyrexisGaming
We got it !!!!
Let's goooooo !!
Thank you so much
Nice!! What list if I may ask?
can you install other mods, with this one in particular installed? And hypothetically if i didnt like on of the pre-installed mods, could i delete them and replace them?
So, you could add mods if you know what you’re doing. You could delete some as well if you REALLY know what you’re doing. Would have to recreate the patches and go through everything to make sure it’s stable. Any edits you make by adding or altering in anyway automatically voids any support. I have someone in. My discord that added like 300 mods and made the patches and worked in xedit and such and hasn’t had any issues, but again, need to know what you’re doing and voids all support
Wabbajack can't find archives ore cant download somemthing / hashing problem and the same with every mod :/ any idea?
Honestly, I haven’t tried but with AE dropping its probably gotten everything messed up. If a mod is “hidden” on nexus, it won’t download it and you will get an error. I would bet that a lot of modders are working on updating to the new script extender, and therefore aren’t available. Just my thoughts. If you haven’t already, check out the Wabbajack discord and the list you’re trying to download. They may have a work around, or mods to manually download there before you run it
Im trying to download the elysium remastered mod pack and the issue im having is ill start downloading and wabbajack will stop responding shortly after the download starts. Then i restart it. Any way to make this not happen?
It could be anything honestly.. does it start downloading anything at all? Or does it crash before it starts downloading anything?
i couldnt make the folders idk where my skyrim went
You couldn’t make the folder? Right click, create new folder? What is it doing?
Do wabbajack need to be in the same drive as the mod list? let's say i installed wabbajack in C drive can i download for example Elysium and put it in D drive ?
You should be able to yes. As far as I know, Wabbajack can set the path even from a different drive when you go to install the modlist. I only have one drive currently, so I haven’t tested it myself, but you should be able to do two different drives without issue
Problem is I download everything I need to and tuskiro still failed to install I try everything and nothing seems to work
Hit up the discord for Tuskiro!

Whenever I click run, it never launches the game. Any fixes? --- On steam I see the game saying playing but auto closes. No window ever opens up.
Does it mention anything about the file path doesn’t match? Is it for Skyrim?

@@PhyrexisGaming This is my first time modding so I could be doing something wrong but I even uninstalled the game, and made a new directory outside of program files on a separate SSD to test it and its the same issue.

it wont download anything for me. why does modding on pc always have to suck so hard
What’s your error message? Need a little more to go off of than that. Did you create a folder for the modlist to set to? Example create your folder for modlist, launch Wabbajack and select the modlist you want, set the path to the folder you made and it should automatically create either a downloads folder within the folder you set it to, or you can create a downloads folder elsewhere if you want your mods all together so it can access them. Also he sure to sign in to nexus with your account. Lastly, if you don’t have premium, you have to download every mod manually as it takes you one by one.
Hopefully this helps. Best bet is to hit up the Wabbajack discord in description and join. From there, find your modlist and they can support there better than I can, best of luck!
What do I do if, when I click on install from disk, and look for a modlist I downloaded manually, the file doesn’t pop up?
Quick question, mine had a issue and it stopped my installation “too many archives” or something along those lines, know why?
If I had to guess could be an overload on the application itself, that or it ran out of room. Have you tried to restart it and see if it will pick up where it left off?
@@PhyrexisGaming i will try that now, ive been just backing out and i have to wait a hour for it to get to the same spot, so annoying.
@@PhyrexisGaming it seems no matter what I do it fails right at the end now, I really don’t know what to do
I’m honestly not too sure.. for it to fail on installation, I would take a guess that there is an archive missing. Does it say anything about unable to install archive or anything like that?
@@PhyrexisGaming this is odd, it like does all the mods but then it gets to the last ones, texture packs and it completes but it keeps failing on it because it says “cannot continue, was unable to download one or more archives” at the textures
why is "game folder files" the only folder missing when its done installing? Please help
If I had to guess, if it’s a Aldrnari it’s called stock game folder instead. Some modlists will do that. If there isn’t a folder with the SKSE 64 loader in it, you will need to try to re-download and override the files to get any files you may have missed
I only got a choice of 4 or 5 mod lists on wabbajack! How'd you get that many!

Some modlists that are newer may call it the stock game folder. I ran across that the other day. Do you have other folders that installed? If so, most likely the case. If not, not all files downloaded correctly most likely and would need to be reran
@@PhyrexisGaming I can check that when I get home but I previously installed this list (the phoenix flavour) without this issue just had issues running it so I reinstalled skyrim and the mod pack but idk what happend also the download went through completely but there was an issue it said I need to manually download a mod from nexus
@@boydolson5350 hmm.. not sure why it wouldn’t give it to You.. try again when you’re able to.. it’s semi rare, but I have heard of files not downloading. That, or they renamed the folder to something different like stock folder or something like that

@@PhyrexisGaming I opened mod organizer and the pack contains 774 mods but it says only 701 are active but I can open and run the game and even though I have a mid spec pc I cant run it very well at all
Do you need to have Nexus Premium in order for the mods to be automatically installed? So far Wabbajack has been prompting me to manually download each mod one at a time.
You don’t have to have premium, but it drastically reduces the download process and does it automatically for you as well. The way you see in the video with a premium account is just click and go. I haven’t done it manually personally, but with the auto downloads it takes an hour or two depending on the size. With that being said, it takes significantly longer to do manually, and can time out if you wait too long which requires a lot of restarting the application.
If you can afford it, i strongly suggest getting a months worth for 5 dollars. If you can’t I understand, but undoubtedly makes the process a lot easier and faster. Best of luck!

@PhyrexisGaming I made some wrong turns there to, with the role settings and it did not seem like they were gonna let me into the chat, guess im soon down to just giving up 😭thanks for the replys so far
You should just be able to grab the role for Wabbajack? Or !roles should pull up the rolls you can pick
Quick question sir. I stumble upon a mod pack I am more prefer. Is called The Visual Overhaul mod. Becauae TVO does not add any combat mechanic,quest,follower or any enemies in the mod pack . So can I add my own mod after i finish downloading TVO
I would assume so, yes! Double check with the Wabbajack discord, because if you break the modlist by adding mods they more then likely won’t help, but for my horror play through series I used a utility modlist that makes the game stable and added about 300 mods on top of it to make my own “modlist” I would think as long as you don’t add anything that edits visuals then you should be good to go, but again, check and join the discord first to make sure.
Happy modding!
@@PhyrexisGaming I am indeed inside the discord. May I also ask for example I downloaded TVO..and maybe there are a couple of mods inside TVO that I am not quite flavour. Example RuDy Enb is included in the TVO mod pack. Because is it all these mod are install In MO2. So lets say in MO2 i don like the rudy enb that are included. I can just un-tick the box on the left side. And add my own enb with it ? Possible right ?
@@PhyrexisGaming what utility modlist. Is it the SMEFT mod pack that does a lot of fixes
@@vernonvernon6663 yes!
@@vernonvernon6663 you’re best bet would be to ask this question in the discord, as I’m not an official modlist supporter or creator, they are very active and should be able to get a correct answer for you. I just don’t want to give advice on something that I personally haven’t tried, but again just ask in discord and they should be able to guide you :)
I can´t find where wabbjack installs itself. I doesn't even ask for a location or anything.
It should have an install path of where you install it when actually setting up the exe. If not, check program files x86, searching Wabbajack on your pc and opening file location, or if you have desktop icon (should be a program/exe technically, you can launch it that way from your start menu or find it that way
wabbajack says could not locate skyrim special edition... even though i have it official check! i have redownloaded it check! what the hell is going on? (not check :'( )
I’m honestly not to sure on that one.. do you own a legal copy of steam? I would hit up the Wabbajack discord for support. I’m honestly not too sure, I’m sorry! Let me know if you get a hold of them they are constantly mods there for support!
@@PhyrexisGaming i found it i moved the whole steam outside of program files (x86) and it worked i am downloading Elysium right now do you know the major things it offers? i mean i have seen it but i want a more personal opinion :)
Adds tons of new content really. The major things it adds are in the read me of it :) it s a LOTD list, but also has ramped up the difficulty a bit as well. Tons new items spells etc.. I actually have a let’s play of this list on my channel if you want a peak at gameplay!
Should I check the overwrite box if I close the download halfway and want to continue downloading the day after?
When relaunching you should be able to just run it without overwriting and it should pick up where it left off. Overwrite should be like an update
@@PhyrexisGaming Now that's a fast reaction! :D It doesn't seem to automatically continue as of right now. I will check again tomorrow. Keep you posted!
Please do! I know when it hangs up or crashes, usually a simple relaunch will fix it. Overwriting won’t hurt it really, it just rechecks the files and then goes from there. Might be worth a shot :)
@@PhyrexisGaming Well, i've bought a subscription for one month now as I could not bring up the time and effort to click download a 1827 times or so. The download does not automatically restart when starting up Wabbajack. So I just check the overwrite box and proceed to download once more.
Hmm.. I would try that. To he honest it’s been a little bit since I last installed a list, but that should work. Should a download fail, check the Wabbajack discord to see if the mod is pinned on another site to manually download. Aldrnari for example has about 20 mods to manually Download and add manually to your download folder.
Im downloading a mod pack and meanwhile it downloads it shows a message in the console that puts: Requesting manual download for "Mod name* Its a problem? or is normal? Thank you for answering
Haven’t seen that yet, but should be able to just look up the download it’s asking for, download it, and place in the downloads folder where you store your mods for the list and restart Wabbajack and it should work!
@@PhyrexisGaming ok ill try thanks
I have downloaded the file several times but it is not working. Will this work on windows 7?
Hmm.. it should. If you’re getting an error on a certain file, try checking and seeing first if it’s hidden on nexus. If so, it can’t download that file. Secondly, be sure to check the read me if you haven’t, as sometimes there are specifically mods that Wabbajack has trouble downloading, so you will need to manually download the mods listed (it gives links if so) and place them in your wabbjack downloads folder: Thirdly if the first two recommendations don’t work, check the Wabbajack discord and your modlist you’re trying to download and see if they have any pinned mods that you may be having trouble downloading.
Lastly, as far as I know it should work for windows 7, but you might check the discord if all else fails. It’s hard to truly tell, as I haven’t tried to download a modlist since AE dropped, but with mod authors trying to update their mods to the lastest SKSE script after the update, it’s highly possible the mod is hidden while they work, which if it is cannot be downloaded. I hope this helps!
i have a MO2 7z file but not a exe and when i extract it the mod organizer is empty what am i doing wrong?

I’m in the mod manager and sometimes it runs but most times it doesn’t . I’ve gotten everything installed as well so I’m not really sure what to do . Also when I do get it to run it is super zoomed in and I can’t really see anything . When I boot up regular Skyrim on steam it’s framed fine. I’d appreciate any help I could get been trying to get this to work all day.
What modlist is it?
How do I install Skyrim into a separate folder ?
On steam? Confused by your question. If you need to move steam out of program files x86 you need to uninstall steam (at least it’s what I did) and when reinstalling, make a path like this (drive you want example would be like C drive and make a new folder path from that. Should just need to make the steam folder itself on your c drive and have it install in that folder. Note this will delete any save data you have on other games as well :/ that’s at least what I did. Hope this helps
@@PhyrexisGaming I appreciate the answer u have given me bro!🙏 really helped
Awesome!
this program is trash i keep getting install failed while doing everything right
Try the discord. They offer support on there my friend! Sorry that it's not working as intended for you
I am trying to install a mod and for every file the Wabbajack is pausing, takes to nexus mod and makes me download thing manually. Is this how it goes?
By default yes. I think it’s 5 dollars (not even that I think) for a nexus premium account. With it, it will uncap your download speeds from 1mb and will automagically download for you without you having to download manually.
It’s for sure worth it if you can spare it. Best of luck!
When I did this, it only gave me a downloads folder eith all the zip files for each mod in the list. None of that other stuff. Any idea why?
Might of missed some files. Relaunch Wabbajack and have it overwrite. Shouldn’t delete the downloads
Do I have to move my entire steam folder with all my games outside of program files 86, or can i just move skyrim out of it?
I don’t think so. There’s not a way to move your Skyrim out of the steam folder or the installation of of steam and where the games go to two separate areas I don’t think. I could be wrong, but I honestly wouldn’t know how to do that if so. Sorry!
@@PhyrexisGaming Why is it bad to have games in program files 86? What problems can it cause? Is it a dealbreaker?
@@garethjones5385 I haven’t tried it myself. It’s In the read me of every list. It will cause issues from what I know, yes
The only oblivion modpack is under maintenance how do you do them through disk
Unfortunately depending on what the mods or the list in particular, if it’s under maintenance the only thing to do is to wait. Usually it’s down due to mod being updated or hidden
Hey hmm what if the game folder files is not in the thing what am I supposed to do got everything up to 6:46
Check for a stock games folder! Most of the lists have that now. I’m honestly not sure if you still need to copy the files, but it couldn’t hurt. If you don’t have stock game folder or game
Folder files, try rerunning Wabbajack to overwrite installation in case it missed something.
@PhyrexisGaming i dont have the game folder file 6:46 any ideas?
Stock game folder instead? Newer modlists are a little different, but same folder that has skse64 files
@@PhyrexisGaming yes i see that now what?
You could copy the files from stock game folder and paste to your Skyrim game folder. Then from there should be able to launch the Mod Organizer in the modlist folder you installed and launch from there after you read the read me and after installation instructions for the list if anything.
@@PhyrexisGaming should i copy all the files their are a lot?
I would back up your game folder before you do. But should be safe to do So. Did you read the read me? Like the Instructions once the installation is complete
What if my modpack didn't install the Game Folder Files?? Should I try reinstalling the entire modpack? I keep getting "couldnt find skyrimSE.exe" every time I try to launch.
Anymore it’s stock folder. Should be able to run the mo2 from that folder. Quite a bit changed after this video was made, but still should work
Should i download SMEFT before another mod list and merge or ? completely new
SMEFT is only really if you want the basic bug fixes before making your own list, and downloading mods to that list. All the other lists are already curated to be ready to go out of the box, other than copying the game file folder to your base game folder. A list will never have two lists in one. I hope that makes sense
@@PhyrexisGaming yes thank you for the fast response even with how old this video is im impressed, with the AE coming out tomorrow im rushed to try and get this done so i can stop auto update etc THANKS AGAIN
@@TheeAsmodeus no problem! Best of luck, and happy modding!
Is the serana dialogue overhaul mod including in elysium? The one where a voice actress does more lines and what not
I am honestly not sure, and I’m not near my computer. Elysium does add a ton of mods, so it’s possible. If you launch Wabbajack and find Elysium, you can click the modlist and it will show all mods included
@@PhyrexisGaming for some reason when I download it the blue bar fills all the way but then it stops and I can’t set pathways
@@Hobfuscate does it give you an option to set pathway? Or just blue bar loads and nothing else comes up? I would try exiting out of Wabbajack and relaunching it and trying again.

@@PhyrexisGaming yah the bar fills up then stops. I’ll check out the discord. Thanks dawg
@@Hobfuscate let me know if they have a fix! Thanks, and best of luck!
There wasn’t any files in the game folder files
That’s the first I personally have heard of this and haven’t a clue. Do you have a clean installation of Skyrim through steam? Installed outside of program files x86? Your best bet is to go to the Wabbajack discord for support bud, as I haven’t the faintest idea on that. What modlist was it in particular?
it says im unable to download one or more archives for TUDM Ultimate Dodge. im wondering if there is a way to disable a mod for this list or if there is a way around this. the mod list im trying to play is elysium
Have you checked the discord for Elysium? It’s a derivative off the Wabbajack Discord. Sometimes they will have you download a pinned mod and put it in the downloads folder, if not unfortunately you will have to wait for Titansbane to update the list. I would check the discord first though, as I seem to recall there is a pinned download or link to the mod to manually download, and drop it in the Elysium downloads folder. I would check there first though
@@PhyrexisGaming if I go into my downloaded mods folder for Elysium I can locate the mod but I still get the error. I’ll join the discord server and see if I can replace the mods or if there have been similar issues.
Thank you!
Hmm.. could be it didn’t download properly. Try deleting the mod it’s failing to recognize and relaunching Wabbajack and redownloading the list. You shouldn’t lose progress, as the other mods are there. That will give it a chance to redownload the mod In question if it is TUDM
8:46 I keep running into this problem and I'm not sure what I need to do to fix it. I have tried moving the skse64_loader to different folders and nothing seems to get the game to start. Any help with this would be appreciated :)
Hmm.. the game folder contents should go into your skyrim directory, it’s the same folder the launcher is located. What is the exact error? I know since making this video if it states can’t find the path and asks for permission to manage it, clicking yes will launch the game and fix it, but other than that if it’s in the folder it’s supposed to be in and it’s not that error I would try the Wabbajack discord my friend!
@@PhyrexisGaming Thanks man, I'll give that a shot. Really appreciate the quick response and the video in general. It helped me at least get to the last step of setting up the mods. Subbed.
@@rm5537 thank you! I’m glad it helped you, let me know if you do find a fix!
@@PhyrexisGaming So I couldn't figure it out. I factory reset my computer (not a big deal, got it a week ago so there wasn't much on there anyway) so I could start everything over totally fresh. The exact error I was getting was the exact one that popped up on your screen at 8:46 . I'm going through the whole process again so I'll let you know if it works.
@@rm5537 dang.. I’m sorry! You’re launching the MO2 from the modlist folder you created right? You could try joining my discord and may be able to get it sorted there if you like?
Can the "game folder files" files co-mingle in the steam common path with other wabbajack modpack "game folder files" files seamlessly? (running 2 modpacks on the same game?) I wanna confirm before I butcher my Ultimate Skyrim saves accidentally lol.
NO. If the gamefolder files are identical (SKSE) and add nothing else, then you can launch a different modlist through its Mod Organizer, and it should work fine, however, it’s always the safest bet to return your base game folder back to vanilla before using another modlist, and copying the game folder files over to the vanilla game folder.
So basically you can leave the base Skyrim alone if the game folder files are the exact same and launch the other list you’re wanting to play. Safest bet is to make sure you restore the game folder to vanilla though, and copy game folder files from there.
@@PhyrexisGaming Whew! Thanks for the speedy reply. You just saved me a lot of heartache lol. Liked and subbed obviously
No problem! I might make a video on this shortly to clear up some confusion. Thank you!!
I been having a blast with lost World but recently all my mods in the list became flagged
?? This is a first. I would check the discord, but may need to delete and reinstall, OR rerun and overwrite files. I would try that first
I’ve been thinking about trying Wabbajack. However, I’m a longtime MO2 user, with tons of mods already downloaded, and a lot of existing profiles. And of course, I use skse, and ENB. So my root game directory is not vanilla. I get the feeling Wabbajack will not play well with that scenario. Any thoughts 😏?
Besides the ENB files, you folder should be vanilla since Mod organizer doesn’t touch your root directory. Have you installed any mods manually? Every Modlist through Wabbajack uses a separate Mod Organizer instance, it should be fine. If you have other mods left over though, and your folder isn’t vanilla, I can’t guarantee that it won’t mess that up.
I have about four or five modlists on my PC that I switch between. The reason I can’t do this is because it’s all based on a cloud that mod organizer uses.
@@PhyrexisGaming Yes, I understand. My Skyrim root is vanilla, but also contains SKSE .dlls and enb .dlls. I manage all the mods via MO. I guess, what I’m really getting at, is how much of a pita it will be to switch between my own profiles, and the Wabbajack mod lists. Thanks for replying!
If it’s just the SKSE dlls and enb files, I would say it would be fine. I run the same ENB files, and SKSE files, for all my modlists. However, the custom SKSE files you’re using might be an issue if the modlist already contains that mod with that plug-in. Does that make sense? It’s up to you, as technically it wouldn’t touch your folder, and since it’s a separate model organizer instance and launcher within the modlist folder, I don’t think that it would override anything or really break anything. However, I’m not an expert.
I mean last resort, you could just copy your game folder as it is now and create a back up.
@@PhyrexisGaming Yes. I think that’s the piece of info I was missing: the separate instance of MO. At least that won’t interfere with my current setup, and existing profiles. Assuming any mod lists from Wabbajack are all compatible with the version of SKSE I have, then all will be well. I’ll start with a small one and go from there. Thanks for your help! I’m enjoying your streams and playthroughs.
i wanna play tuskiro soooo bad but the mapping of the controller omg i cant ....so anyone know
Check the discord?
I don't have game folder files?
Could be stock game folder as well. You shouldn’t have to copy past from there as they have it to where if it has that it should work without. Quite a bit happened since I made this video. May need to make another one. If you don’t have that, try reinstalling and overwrite your folder you made. May of not downloaded everything
@@PhyrexisGaming appreciate the quick reply, unfortunately I'm at work but from other vids I've seen I just needed to activate the mods in the mod manager, don't quote me on that though I'm not at my PC to see if it works lol.
I tried to install wildlander but i have no clue what to press to launch, when i launch the stock game in the folder the textures are fucked up and it crashes
Did you copy what’s in the stock game to your directory of base game? Typically I redirect to the Wabbajack discord since there are so many different modlists
@@PhyrexisGaming Yeah thanks i actually figured out i installed it wrong so yeah i got it working now
Glad you got it figured out! Enjoy!
All of my downloaded mods are in WinRar do I copy and paste those into the skyrim files or am I doing something wrong?
Do you have a premium nexus account? I haven’t used it with manual downloads, so if you are using manual downloads please see the discord. If you have premium for automatic downloads when you copy the game folder files into your Skyrim directory you launch the mod organizer in the folder you made for install (example would be the NOIR folder in this video) and all mods will be there in the manager. Your main folder is untouched with actual mods. They are tied to the mod manager you launch in the folder you installed to. I hope this makes sense
paste them in data folder

It’s worth getting it working, but on the same hand I’m not affiliated or associated with Wabbajack. Heck, my video isn’t even the linked tutorial any more lol. I try and help out of the goodness of my heart, but I’m not official support, and unfortunately don’t know why all the errors happen :(

It won’t be in mod organizer.. it should he in the game folder directory or stock game folder. Should just be click and go. If not, try redownloading and last ditch check the discord for that modlist.
Ty for this guide but I was wondering if it would be possible to add new mods in addition to the modlist that I downloaded. I know it is not a good idea because the modlist is already huge and adding new mods would stop some mods from working. But are there exceptions? Are mods ok that don't add big changes? For example a new armor set, a new follower or a new soundtrack.
I myself have added some mods on top of it, HOWEVER it does void any support if you break it or run into issues. For me I’ve added stuff that doesn’t touch other things that are altered or has it’s own custom script. It’s up to you and best is just to test and check if it’s overwriting everything and don’t go crazy 😂 I’ve added new armor sets in my play throughs though.
End of the day you always run a risk of breaking by added mods and it’s best to just leave it be, but to each their own, but again you will void support if you add mods yourself on top of the modlist.
Best of luck!
@@PhyrexisGaming alright thank you for the quick reply. But before i test anything out, i have to inform myself about mod organizer first, because idk how to use it 😂. Until now i always used vortax.
