Instructions on how to configure specific mods/utilities for use in Wabbajack

Manually downloaded Nexus files

MO2 can retrieve archive information from files in the downloads folder.

  1. Download the file manually.
  2. Copy the file into the MO2 downloads folder.
  3. In MO2 click Query Info on the file (you may need to refresh the GUI by hitting F5).
  4. The red icon should go away if MO2 found the query info.
  5. Wabbajack will find the mod information queried by MO2.

Mod Organizer 2

Comes from the Nexus as a Nexus mod.

  1. Download MO2 (archive version).
  2. Extract it into a folder.
  3. Start it in portable version and select your game.
  4. Copy the MO2 archive into the downloads folder in the MO2 install folder.
  5. Open MO2 go to downloads, right click on the MO2 archive and click Query Info. MO2 will automatically link the file to the Nexus Mod ID and File ID. These values will be found and used by Wabbajack.

SKSE

SKSE servers support direct URL downloads.

  1. Download SKSE and copy the binary files into your game folder.
  2. Copy the SKSE archive into the downloads folder in MO2.
  3. Install the SKSE archive through MO2 from the downloads tab.
  4. In a file browser, go to the MO2 downloads folder and load the skse*.7z.meta file, and add the following line to the [General] section, changing the URL to the exact URL you used to download SKSE:
directURL=https://skse.silverlock.org/beta/skse64_2_00_16.7z

Your entire skse*.7z.meta file should now look like this

[General]
installed=true
uninstalled=false
directURL=https://skse.silverlock.org/beta/skse64_2_00_16.7z

ENBSeries

ENBSeries servers support direct downloads as long as a header is provided.

  1. Download the ENBSeries archive and copy the binary files into your game folder.
  2. Copy the ENBSeries archive into your downloads folder in MO2.
  3. Create a .meta file with the same name prefix as the ENBSeries archive name. So if the ENBSeries archive is named enb-foo.bar.7z make a text file named enb-foo.bar.7z.meta.
  4. Update the contents of the .meta file to look like this, updating the URL to the exact URL used to download the ENB (not the ENB landing page, but the download URL).
  5. The Referer value may need to be updated for games that are not Skyrim SE.
[General]
installed=true
uninstalled=false
directURL=http://enbdev.com/enbseries_skyrimse_v0394.zip
directURLHeaders=Referer:http://enbdev.com/download_mod_tesskyrimse.html

NOTE: The author of ENBSeries has a habit of updating the program without changing the version number. If you get installation errors stating that the hash of the downloaded file wasn't what was expected, redownload ENBSeries to update to the new version and recompile the modlist.

SSE Engine Fixes

Both files come from the Nexus.

  1. Download and install Part 1 via MO2.
  2. Download Part 2 manually, copy the binaries into the MO2 folder.
  3. Copy the Part 2 archive into the downloads folder in MO2.
  4. Use MO2 to Query Info on the Part 2 file.

Skyrim Realistic Overhaul

SRO is only stored on the ModDB servers.

  1. Download the files manually.
  2. Copy them into the MO2 downloads folder.
  3. Install them via MO2.
  4. For each file, go back to ModDB, and right click on the download button clicking "Copy Link As"
  5. Update the .meta file for each archive to look something like this.
[General]
installed=true
uninstalled=false
directURL=https://www.moddb.com/downloads/start/116934?referer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.moddb.com%2Fmods%2Fskyrim-realistic-overhaul%2Fdownloads

If the general format of the URL does not match what you see here, you probably have the wrong link, you want the link from the download button of the file's page, the link that will take you to the "your download is starting now" page.

Dropbox Files

If you have a file that comes from Dropbox, the process is simple:

  1. Download the file
  2. Copy it into the MO2 downloads folder
  3. Install it via MO2
  4. Update the .meta file for the archive to point to the Dropbox URL
