    LIST OF SOLUTIONS NOT MENTIONED IN VIDEO (Will update over time):
    - Another potential solution for mods not downloading is using a VPN
    - From @eziothedeadpoet : correction on the "while loading slides" "error". This isn't an actual error that hinders the installation by itself but it indicates that the list was compiled on an older WJ version that had issues with generating and storing the slides correctly. So resetting won't fix that and the "error" can more or less safely be ignored. The only possible "harmful" part of the error is not related to the message but the fact that it implies the list is from way before WJ 3.5 which fixed a severe bug with file extraction process. This issue didn't affect all lists and all lists without it will be able to install just fine. But if a list is older than WJ 3.5 and you get a hash error then that list needs to be updated for the newest WJ version.
    Also while you could still install the list by using WJ 3.4 instead it will result in an installation with at least some broken assets that weren't extracted correctly.

    Wabbajack needs so much work. I like the way you say just hunt the failed downloads down manually, like I got one and not 300 regularly. At this point I might as well build my own list.

    I tried downloading the Nordic Souls modlist several times but it always stops downloading at the last 1-3 mods at the very end. No error or failure message it just doesn't download anymore and there's no download speed icon at the upper right corner anymore either. Any ideas?

  • @spaceben11

    You are so right about it being finicky. I reinstalled fallout new vegas two different times, reinistalled Wabbajack and nothing worked. I was following the online guide to the T. Halfway through your video, I noticed that you separated your mods into named locations before installing there, so I decided to try creating a folder within my C:/Game Mods folder and it worked. Sometimes it is as simple as trying to install into a new location! Thanks!

Have deleted than launched game to re download and nothing works this file won't download? Is it the version of skyrim these list use? If so they should be taken down until fixed.

    I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, my wabbajack wasn't installing because I didn't have the cc stuff installed properly. If it still isn't working for anyone, the log file is very important. If it's failing cause its unable to download bsa, esl, or esm files. Then your cc contents aren't probably downloaded or installed propperly.

    Thank you for all the work you do! I'm most definitely looking forward for when you do a 1.6.1170 version graphics lists mod review that is purely vanilla. The 1st video I watched of yours was this morning posted 8 months ago. You've got a new subscriber with this most recent vid ☺️. Im just looking to upgrade all the graphics in the game on my PC without getting lost in the sauce like I've done before with an auto install 1100+ mod collection that claimed to be 😢 "vanilla plus". I'm a full-time student with a full-time job and going in to manually remove certain mods I dont want is not my idea of decompression and relaxation. Whoever you are...I'm grateful that you have this UA-cam channel! 🙏🏽

  • @Rodr1ss
    @Rodr1ss 7 місяців тому

    I hadn't bothered to see what that wabbajack was. It is an autoinstaller of predefined mods. I mean, what it does is that everyone who downloads wabbajack Skyrim will look the same, it takes away the beauty of using mods, being able to make Skyrim a different game for any user. I don't know if I'll ever try it, but all the errors and solutions are very well explained, good guide.

  • @gamesturbator
    @gamesturbator 2 місяці тому

    That tip about using the root level of a drive is solid gold. Never would have thought of that. Still, it's not creating a downoad folder inside my mod folder.
    I found a recent version of Wabberjack that doesn't care about administrative privileges, but it doesn't work. LOL The official version works great--so far.

  • @haydenarlo1950
    @haydenarlo1950 8 днів тому

    that curios fix did nothing for me.
    wabbajack wants the lowercase version but steam and the creation clue will ONLY install the uppercase version even when validating files.
    nothing changes, it stays broken

  • @ArtificallyIntelligentAi
    @ArtificallyIntelligentAi 5 місяців тому +1

    If this helps anyone, I made the mistake of making my target and install folder the same folder so it would delete my modlist everytime to clean all folders and files aside from temp and downloads. Drove me nuts. So, start the mod list from a separate folder from the one you're installing into or it will be deleted everytime and you will get "error can not find mod list". I guess I missed that detail that wabbajack can't be in the same folder your installing into or it will get cleaned and erased right before the install.

Once I close wabajack I cant go back to the install failed page and have to redownload the modpack all over again. When I go into the folder where the downloads are there is no other files except compressed winRAR files, no MO2, no other files just the compressed mods. Idk what to do at this point

      @mizzy8655 3 місяці тому

      @@Eric149498 hey so it does work but the tutorials don’t explicitly tell you that you need to download it like this.
      Step 1. You download it via online which is the left most option, let it download and it may say installation failure that’s ok.
      Step 2. You then go back to the main page and download from disk. This will download any missing mods etc.
      Step 3. If you get an installation failure again check the text log on the left which you can then use to discern if you having missing mods that you may need to manually download.
      Side note: check if a modpack requires anniversary upgrade mods. If it does I kept getting problems with the rare and curious mod. You should follow everything else in the video.

    Hi, I installed Eldergleam with Wabbajack but when I start the game I see everything black then the menu appears and if I click on start the initial scene is completely dark. If I go to Racemenu the head of the khajiit is missing, only the eyes are visible and even the northern hair is transparent. After the installation I reloaded the language to Italian, will that be the problem? How do I set the mod in Italian and have the game in Italian?

  • @brayden6876
    @brayden6876 17 днів тому

    I cant seem to figure out how to manually download the mods which failed to download. I get a pop-up tab which has file names of said mods as well as links, but none of the links lead anywhere. I will click on the mod link assuming it'll be as easy as downloading, dragging the file to the correct folder, then rinsing and repeating that process until I've managed to manually download all of the missing mods. But I genuinely have no clue where to find these missing mods and I can't find any straightforward video anywhere that is covering the same problem as I am having. Let alone anyone who can actually answer my question in terms I can understand.
    I am relatively new to the modding scene, so I'm not exactly a wizard with this stuff. I managed to download STALKER GAMMA through a few tutorials which was a lot more of a process than using Wabbajack. But even still, this literally has me stuck in a spot where I have no clue what to do.

    I have a wierd problem. I tried installing morrowind modlist with Wabbajack and it required 19gb. I had 100+gb when I first installed it. It didnt work so I tried reinstall the modlist 3 times.
    Now the problem is....
    I now have 47gb space left after I completely removed every file and uninstalled it. After every try it seems to save the files on the drive somewhere even if I remove the install folder I created with wabbajack? Where is these mysterious files that takes up space on my drive? Is this a virus?

    Have rechecked everything on my SSD drive with regards to the reinstall process and everything is okay. My antivirus software is not interfering and don't have any killer apps. Both game versions are the latest but still not installing the main mod list (except Mod Organiser). Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated 🙏.
