Cleaning Up

The first step, we’re going to delete any files you may have still lingering from old installations or previous mod packs or mod lists. Cleaning your system of any Skyrim VR related files ensures that Wabbajack will run into as few problems as possible during installation.

1. Please delete the following directories if they exist:

• %LocalAppData%\Mod Organizer
• %AppData%\Mod Organizer

Then in Steam right click Skyrim VR then go to Properties... and under Installed Files verify the integrity of your Skyrim VR installation.

2. Make sure you have undeployed any Vortex installations to your Skyrim VR folder, if you've previously used Vortex for Skyrim VR.

3. Create an empty folder on the root of an SSD with enough space (170 GB at least if you're having the downloads separately, 300 GB otherwise). Here is an example of how the path would look like: X:/Yggdrasil VR/. This is where you will point the Wabbajack Installer's Installation Location.

[!TIP] If you have the 300gb free storage for this list, you can continue as is, however if you don't have enough storage on the drive, or simply want to have the less important files stored somewhere else you may want to create a MO2 VR Downloads folder on another drive (can be an HDD this time around).

Skyrim's Own Initialisation

Before we launch Wabbajack and proceed with the install, you need to launch Skyrim VR directly from Steam at least once before moving any further. This will decrypt your newly installed game files and create the registry entries needed for Wabbajack to locate your game install. This is a mandatory step.

You're doing great so far! Before we install things let's cover some stability and performance fixes ‣. After that just follow the link at the bottom of the page or use the sidebar to get to the following step.
