PROJECT SKYRIM is a modlist that is content and gameplay oriented, focusing on expansions, overhauls, and healthy adjustments to the systems and features that exist in Skyrim, while expanding to become the most diverse. It focuses on gameplay, world space add-ons, quests, etc.
PROJECT SKYRIM also comes with an adult content addon, that is completely unintrusive.
Which means that nothing will appear on your face without you wishing for it to happen, you can completely ignore.

This is a precise and easy-to-install tutorial about the mod list Project Skyrim. We aim to streamline the process and help you to remove any doubts about the installation.
I doubt you need to do this since you likely already have this installed. The package is required for MO2, and you can download it from Microsoft. Download the x64 version under "Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019". Direct link if you can't find it.
Please ensure you have .NET v5.0 installed (EVEN IF YOU HAVE .NET 6.0 INSTALLED). The game will not launch if you do not have it installed. Download the desktop app x64 AND console app x64 installers from Microsoft here.
Please install SSE Creation Kitinto your Skyrim installation (from steam), it's as simply as downloading a DLC, just search it in the steam store and download it.
- Loverslab Account
- Vector plexus Account
- Nexus Account (Premium recommended)
- Wabbajack
- Skyrim Special Edition (Steam) Wabbajack will downgrade for you automatically (SE/AE)
Loverslab requires a VPN for some users, some countries cannot access Loverslab (Japan, Thailand etc.)
Start with a fresh install of Skyrim Special Edition or Anniversary Edition. You should also clean up the Skyrim Special Edition folder in Documents/My Games/ by deleting its contents. Installing on an SSD is recommended but an HDD will work as well.
Start the game and exit once you're in the main menu. This will ensure any settings files needed by Wabbajack are created in the Skyrim directory.
If you have your Steam library in Program Files, read this to put it somewhere else.
I will not provide support to people with Skyrim in their Program Files folder.
Locations like Documents, Downloads, Desktop, or OneDrive are NOT fine. The best location would be C:\SteamLibrary if you have a single drive, or whichever Drive Letter you have on your main Games drive. Such a location is also called the "root of the drive."
Just do it. This entire Modlist is in English and 99% of all mods you will find are also in English. I highly recommend playing the game in English and I will not give support to people with a non-English game.
Open the Steam Properties window, navigate to the Language tab and select English from the dropdown menu.

Copy the files inside to your "Wabbajack" folder.
Also copy the Wabbajack files to your folder "Wabbajack", it should include Wabbajack.exe and wabbajack-cli.bat

If you have downloaded the wrong one it will let you know at the end. Don't panic.
If there is an error or it closes, you won't need to re-download mods you have already downloaded.

6 - When Wabbajack is done downloading the Project Skyrim modlist, there may be some missing mods, giving you an error. Wabbajack will let you know which mods have issues in the log at the bottom left.
Our community has compiled a list of certain mods that give our users trouble and have them within the links below.
Attempt the first link and if there are still any fails or missing files, try using files in the second.

7 - Once you have finished installing the modlist without errors, you can open your "Project Skyrim" folder, and create a shortcut for Mod Organizer.
8 - You are now on the final steps!
Open your folders like so, "Project Skyrim ((Version))" -> "profiles" -> "Default"
The directory address should look like in the image below:
Open the INI files .RAR file you downloaded, and copy the files inside it into the folder.
9 - You can now launch Project Skyrim from Mod Organizer by clicking the "Run" button at the top right. Make sure you have "SKSE" selected. The first boot might take a while to get going, so be patient.
If your downloads tab in MO2 looks like this, do not be alarmed.
Wabbajack does not download meta files (these files give you info about what you did to the mod). MO2 generates default meta files for each mod and looks at it. But yes, everything is fine.
Follow these instructions whenever you start a new playthrough:
Start a new game, and wait around 3-5 minutes (depending on your specs and FPS) to allow the scripts to load, if you don't do this, things might break due to lack of time to configure itself, THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT, DON'T SKIP THE WAITING TIME, then proceed as usual.
To start the game, open your MCM menu and go into the first mod 00.Skyrim Unbound, there you can configure everything you need for your journey, and then in the first page of it, press "begin adventure", that will spawn you in a room for character creation, after creating your character press enter (or select the "continue" option in the message box), this will spawn you in the world
OR
Simply press enter to have everything random and automatically enter the character creation room.
Open MCM / mod Configuration again, scroll down to My home is your home (MYHYH), open the menu and tick "Configuration Book".
Open MCM / mod Configuration again, scroll down to Shadows of Skyrim (Optional), click it. Then click on general, and then on enable. Confirm the pop up to close and wait.
