FEATURE OVERVIEW

This is a quick summary of key features added by this mod, with GIFs! A more in-depth summary of features is below in Gameplay Adjustments.

There is no sexually explicit content in this Wabbajack, but there is nudity. If you would like to remove the statues, paintings, etc. that feature nudity, they are under the Nudity header and can be disabled. Body files for the player character and NPCs are nude, but N.U.D.E distributes underwear to any non-player character when the clothing on their bodyslot is removed. If you desire them to be naked, weirdo, you can then remove the underwear that was distributed to them dynamically. Maybe you want to collect them all or something, whatevs. Weirdo.

I like pretty graphics. Do you like pretty graphics? Do you have a potato PC? Then I can't help you. Do you have a decent PC from the last half-decade? I'm your man! This list is based around Community Shaders, ReShade, and the Skyrim Upscaler. Community Shaders has come a long way since it was first released, especially with the 0.8.X updates. Combined with ReShade and either DLSS, FSR, or XeSS, you can achieve shockingly good graphics with decent framerates. A table will be included at the bottom of this section with performance examples. The Skyrim Upscaler and Community Shaders both have multiple options to adjust to increase either graphical fidelity or performance, as seen in the GIF below.

The UI has a new skin via Untarnished UI, icons via I4, and features via A.I.T., Komegaki, and B.O.O.B.I.E.S..

You can interact with the UI more fluidly in combat thanks to Wheeler and Quick Loot RE. This is needed, as lots of enemies have been added. Ogrim and Ettins are quite scary, to be frank with you. Imps are just weird and funny. They do throw fireballs at you, so thankfully we have both True Direction Movement for target lock and TK Dodge RE for... well, dodging.

Have you ever wanted to touch the sky? You still can't, but you can glide! Paragliding in Skyrim is wonderful and helps transversal dramatically. Ontop of this, More Ferries and More Carriages has been added, giving you more places to take them too. You can then fast travel with road signs you see on the road for a small fee, making walking along the road until you see a sign useful again. You'll want to be walking, too, because there are a lot of Unmarked Locations Pack out there. No, there is not a road sign from Falskaar to Bruma. Figure that travel out yourself.

Finally, almost everything has been overhauled. Crafting with C.C.O.R. and W.A.C.C.F., eating and cooking with C.A.C.O., walking with True Directional Movement, jumping with Better Jumping and Jump Attack, slicing your sword with M.C.O., raycasting your bow crosshair with SmoothCam, training with Simplicity of Skills, then even just going to sleep in a tent in JK's Riften Outskirts... there's really not much left to overhaul, and if there is, it's town related. Trust me, I've got a list to expand the towns even more. Below are a few more GIFs to show you various overhauls and systems.

WABBAJACK INSTALLATION GUIDE

This list requires Skyrim Anniversary Edition, or all of the Creation Club content downloaded, and will run SSE version 1.6.640. It should automatically downgrade for you when you run the Wabbajack, so you are safe to install whatever the latest version on Steam is (1.6.1170 as of writing). It will also take around 450GB of disk space, 150GB for Downloads and 300GB for the remaining Deployments.

1. Install copies of TESV: Skyrim Special Editions and Skyrim Special Edition: Creation Kit via Steam. It is recommended that you fully delete your old Skyrim Special Edition game folder and start from fresh. You do not need to ever use the Creation Kit, and a copy is automatically added to your Steam Library when you purchase Skyrim Special Edition.

   

   • Your \Skyrim Special Edition folder should look like this:

   

2. Launch Skyrim to download all of the AE content from the Main Menu.

   • Do not re-validate files after downloading all of the content via the Main Menu. Rare Curios in Steam and in Skyrim are two different versions. Your \Skyrim Special Edition\Data folder should contain approximately 178 items and look like this:

     

3. Create a Folder for where you wish to install Wabbajack (non-System, non-Root directory) and another for where you wish to install the modlist contents (non-System directory). Examples are in both a picture and in table form below.

   

CORRECT FOLDER STRUCTURE	INCORRECT FOLDER STRUCTURE
D:\Wabbajack\Wabbajack.exe	C:\Wabbajack.exe
C:\Wabbajack\Wabbajack.exe	C:\Windows\Wabbajack.exe
D:\Wabbajack\FILFY\{modlist-contents}	C:\Windows\FILFY\{modlist-contents}
C:\FILFY\{modlist-contents}	C:\{modlist-contents}

4. Launch the Wabbajack executable and it will download the core files and alter your folder structure to look like this.

FILFY INSTALLATION GUIDE

This is a guide on how to actually install and play the game, once you finished with all Wabbajack setup.

1. Click Browse in Wabbajack, then select Download Modlist on FILFY in the Gallery to download. You will have to select Show Unofficial Lists for it to show up.

   

2. Once the download has finished, press the small play button in the same location to download the Wabbajack install file.

3. Select the directory for {modlist-contents} that you made above. Click the Play button.

   

4. If the above steps completed without error, you can now open ModOrganizer.exe in your FILFY\{modlist-contents} folder and launch Mod Organizer 2.

5. Click the Run button under the launch option of Skyrim (SKSE), as shown below.

   

6. You will now get a splash screen that shows up to reassure you that SKSE is loading. It will likely take 1-2 minutes to fully load.

   

7. You will now be at a black full screen, showing that Skyrim itself has now launched and is in the process of loading all plugins. It will likely take 2-3 minutes to fully load.

   • If this is the first time you have launched this modpack, the game will need to compile shaders between Step 4 and 5. This will take around 1 minute and slow your computer down considerably, but only needs to be done once.

   

8. Skyrim will automatically load into your latest save file (or a new game if you do not have a save file). Congratulations, you are done!

GAMEPLAY ADJUSTMENTS

This is an explaination of core gameplay altering modifications and adjustments, this is not comprehensive.

Overhauls

• Seasons of Skyrim makes the weather change throughout the year, changing the ground cover, trees, enemies, and even more.
• Perks are overhauled with Ordinator, though this will likely be adjusted to Vorkiinator Black in the future.
• Complete Crafting Overhaul Remastered, Complete Alchemy & Cooking Overhaul, Weapons Armor and Clutter Fixes, and more are all integrated to give the core crafting functionality a needed overhaul and balancing.
• Experience reworks how the experience system works, making the game feel more like a traditional R.P.G.
  • Zim's Training Expansion and Specialists of Skills reworks the training system, in case you feel like you're stuck with weak One Handed Skill.
• Open World Loot better distributes the vanilla game loot, as well as the many items added by Reforging for the Masses, Immersive Weapons, Immersive Armors, and more.
• Wintersun adds an immersive Religious aspect to the game, allowing you to gain or lose favor with Daedra and Aedra, with the benefits and punishments you would assume.
• Nether's Follower Framework and Swiftly Order Squad combine to allow you to build that M.M.O. party in Skyrim like you've always wanted.
• Simple Hunting Overhaul and Simple Fishing Overhaul work with Immersive Equipment Displays to make these activities both fun and useful for the first time.
• Trade and Barter and Trade Routes both mean that merchants now have a different inventory and price than you are used to. Solitude sure must have a lot of taxes to justify these prices...

Movement & Combat

• True Directional Movement allows for natural, fluid Third Person gameplay.
  • Combined with SmoothCam, you can now lock onto targets or free-aim your bow like never before.
  • With various Elden based mods and Valhalla, you can now block, parry, and reflect different attacks. You can role-play as a jedi swatting arrows.
• Modern Combat Overhaul and different movesets have been added, and they vary by race. Combat feels much more modern.
• Precision and Precision Creatures adds a far more dynamic feel to how weapons interact with their targets. Dynamic Collision Adjustment then makes sure that your sword has just the right reach.
• SkyClimb and Animated Transversal work together to allow you to vault over ledges and climb up mountains.
• Paragliding in Skyrim has been added, feel free to glide like the Nintendon't hero that you aren't.
• Enemies have been added from many different sources, such as Mihail and 4th Unknown. There are all sorts of Morrowind and Oblivion enemies re-introduced.
  • Some are scary. The world is unleveled and has Missing Encounter Zones Fixed. Be careful out there.
  • I don't even need to start on dragons. Sure, there's Deadly Dragons and Diverse Dragons, but have you heard of Infinite Dragon Variants? We have it all folks.
  • Sadly, Fury does not allow you to take dragons. I think?
• Thankfully, there is a lot of both weapon types and magic spells, meaning you will eventually be able to slay all the baddies. Or you can cast a waterwalking spell from Mysticism or Apocalypse and laugh as your enemies try to swim to you. You do you.

Exploration

• Bruma, Wyrmstooth, Falskaar, New Vominheim, Vigilant, Sirenroot, and multiple more Worldspace expansions have all been included and patched to function together.
• There are now many more unmarked locations (such as from the multiple Unmarked Locations Packs) for you to discover in the game and find special loot.
• Once you clear out an important location, such as a Fort or a Bandit Camp, you can then take control for your desired faction with Lawbringer.
• Survival Mode Improved - SKSE greatly alters the Survival Creation Club content, better integrating it into your game.
  • It also disables fast travel. I have therefore added the ability to fast travel if you aim your cursor at a road sign for a small fee. You can also travel to many more locations with ferries and carriages.
  • You can also fly around via your paraglider as mentioned above, so there's that...
  • If you really hate this, you can go to the MCM for Unlimited Fast Travel and enable the When disabled via scripts/console option.
• Extended Encounters makes it a lot more concerning when you do fast travel, as you never know what might be waiting for you at your destination. Thankfully Horse Whistle Key can help us get our horse to take us away!
• Sure, Carved Brink and Project AHO add quests, but don't you want more?
  • JaySerpa, Nimwraith, and many more authors all added quests for you to complete.

Graphics & Animations

• Community Shaders is used as a base, combined with the Skyrim Upscaler, allowing you to use DLSS, FSR, or XeSS. This allows you to use this modlist on a very large range of hardware.
• DynDOLOD is generated, improving the distant visuals compared to vanilla.
  • BethINI is also included, so you can safely adjust your graphical settings as you desire. This is perfect for adjusting DynDOLOD distances.
• 2K textures are shipped for almost everything included in the game. With the upscaler, this allows you to have decent performance with decent visuals at the same time. You can also download higher resolution versions of these if desired.
• Base Object Swapper is used extensively, meaning that the diversity of things in the wild is increased. This is for both objects for for animals. There are 4 different colors of Horkers, if you feel the need to catch them all.
• Animated Potions, Animated Poisions, Animated Ingredients, Animated Interactions, and more all work together to give you a more immersive feel when interacting with the world. You can even see enemies use health potions thanks to Smart Potions.
• Finally, I really like Particle Lights, so there are a lot of those.

User Interface

• Aura's Inventory Tweaks ontop of SkyUI is the base of the menu system for this modlist. This also uses icons from B.O.O.B.I.E.S., and the framework from Inventory Interface Information Injector. This means that no matter what menu you're in, the menu system actually makes sense.
  • This is improved by C.O.C.K.S. category adjustments for crafting, as well as Komegaki's many different I4 mods.
  • The UI is then reskinned with Untarnished UI. Even RaceMenu has an Untarnished skin.
• Quick Loot is used to allow you to quickly loot your enemies, without needing to open a submenu and pause the gameplay.
• Wheeler allows you to rapidly swap between spells, items, weapons, potions, etc., all while maintaining the flow of combat or exploring.
• Compass Navigation Overhaul does more than just adjust the compass, and it does a fantastic job at minimizing the time you need to look at your quest journal.
• Atlas Map Markers and COMAP add both more Points of Interest and better icons for them. Combined with C.N.O. from above, this really improves your exploring.
• A Clear Map of Skyrim combined with DynDOLOD makes the World Map so much more... more. It's just more.
• There's even a Photo Mode for you screen archers out there.

"Non-Immersive" Adjustments & Nudity

• There are a few mods that add nudity to the game. I have enabled them by default. You are free to disable them (under the Nudity header in MO2) as you wish.
  • They are Add..., and, and, and finally this.
• Something might happen if you mention Sweet Rolls. Or the Cloud District. Just a heads up.
  • I also 100% do not recommend mentioning arrows in any sort of body part. Lightning never strikes twice, and you wouldn't want to make it a liar, would you?
• I absolutely hate running out of stamina while sprinting when I'm not even in combat, so I have three plugins enabled that are "cheats." They are under the Cheats header in MO2 and are called Infinite Magicka Out of Combat, Infinite Shouting Out of Combat, and Infinite Stamina Out of Combat. They can be disabled at any time.

BUNDLED TOOLS

The various tools included with the Wabbajack, as well as a basic explaination of their use case.

• Creation Kit (with Creation Kit Platform Extended)
  • This is what Bethesda gave us to make mods, but better!
• SSEEdit
  • This is your go-to tool to see what might be going on inside of the plugins.
• BodySlide
  • This is to generate all of your hawt armor mod bodyslide files.
  • This modpack features oBody, so you will need to ensure that you use the HIMBO or 3BA Zeroed Presets when generating BodySlide files, as well as ensure that you build morphs.
• Nemesis
  • This is the current go-to animation generation tool. I would like to switch to Pandora, but it currently has caching issues.
• Beth INI
  • This can be run to adjust your INIs as desired for optimal quality and performance.
• Cathedral Assets Optimizer
  • This can be run to correct texture, mesh, and animation errors.
• There are more included but hidden inside of the launcher. This is because I did not bundle their install files. If you would like to add some of them back, feel free. Examples include zEdit, Wrye Bash, and DynDOLOD.

COMMON ISSUES

Read this before you make a bug report or GroundAura will answer you passive-aggressively.

• Rare Curios: Unable to Download Data_ccgssse037-curiosesl/bsa
  • Solution: Delete the ccgssse037-curios BSA and ESL files, then open Skyrim to re-download the AE content. Do not re-verify files via Steam afterwards, or you will have to repeat this step.
• The game reloads my save twice when I'm outside and trying to load a save! It must be broken.
  • No, this is actually an intentional fix to help with save file reloading bugs. If you load an exterior save, it will load twice.
• Long Load Times
  • Solution: Go back to Steps 6-8. Did you properly wait for this?
• Lots of plugins are disabled. What the heck?
  • You can restore the load order from the backup. You click the yellow arrow next to the active plugin counter and then restore from a recent backup stored with the Wabbajack.
• If you have a crash and are not sure why, please navigate to the \Users\{you}\Documents\My Games\Skyrim Special Edition\SKSE folder on your PC and post the crash-...log file in the Discord for us to help.
