Updating

The update syntax

Auriel's Dream follows a versioning syntax that explains if an update is save file compatible or not.

As an example, version 8.0.3, you see three different numbers. The first number, 8, is increased on major list changes. If this number has increased compared to the version you are on, then the update is not save file compatible for you.

The second number, 0, is increased for minor updates, but this update is also not save file compatible.

The last number, 3, increases on minor updates that are save file compatible.

If this Modlist receives an update please check the Changelog before doing anything. Always backup your saves or start a new game after updating.

What happens if I have installed any mods myself, and then I try to update the modlist?

Wabbajack will delete all files that are not part of the Modlist when updating!

This means that any additional mods you have installed on top of the Modlist will be deleted. Your downloads folder will not be touched.

To get around this, you can rename the mods you wish to keep, by adding a prefix to the name "[NoDelete] ". This way WJ will not delete your mods. Keep in mind that there is no offical support if you change the modlist.

Updating is like installing. You only have to make sure that you select the same path and tick the overwrite existing Modlist button.
