These steps are only needed if you install this Modlist for the first time. If you update the Modlist, jump straight to Updating.
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.
The Steam Overlay can cause issues with ENB and is recommended to be turned off.
Open the Properties window (right click the game in your Library->Properties), navigate to the General tab and un-tick the Enable the Steam Overlay while in-game checkbox.
SSE is still being updated by Bethesda (they only add Creation Club content). Whenever the game updates, the entire modding community goes silent for the next one or two weeks because some mods need to be updated to the latest game runtime version.
To ensure that Steam does not automatically updates the game for you, head over to the Properties window, navigate to the Updates tab and change Automatic updates to Only update this game when I launch it. You should also disable the Steam Cloud while you're at it.
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.
I highly recommend uninstalling the game through Steam, deleting the game folder and reinstalling it. You should also clean up the Skyrim Special Edition folder in Documents/My Games/ by deleting the contents in it.
After you have done everything above and got a clean SSE installation ready, start the Launcher and and let it do the initial graphics check. Do not worry about this part as the installation will replace this graphics settings. Start the game and exit once you're in the main menu.
Grab the latest release of Wabbajack from here and place the Wabbajack.exe file in a working folder. This folder must not be in a common folders like your Desktop, Downloads or Program Files folder. It's best to create a Wabbajack folder near the root level of your drive like C:/Wabbajack.
Head to releases and grab the latest .wabbajack file from there. Once downloaded double click the .wabbajack file to open up the installer. Set the Installation folder to somewhere that is not affected by UAC (Please do not put it in Documents, Program Files, Desktop. Put it somewhere easy like C:/Modlists/Equanimity). The downloads path should automatically fill in the installation path.
The download and installation process can take a very long time depending on your system specs. Wabbajack will calculate the amount of threads it will use at the start of the installation. To have the highest amount of threads and thus the fastest speed, it is advised to have the working folder on an SSD.
- Open Wabbajack
- Load the Modlist from Disk
- Adjust the download and installation paths
- Click the Go/Begin button
- Wait for Wabbajack to finish
There are a lot of different scenarios where Wabbajack will produce an error. I recommend re-running Wabbajack before posting anything. Wabbajack will continue where it left off so you loose no progress.
Could not download x:
If a mod updated and the old files got deleted, it is impossible to download them. In this case just wait till I update the Modlist.
x is not a whitelisted download:
This can happen when I update the modlist. Check if a new update is available and wait if there is none.
Wabbajack could not find my game folder:
Wabbajack will not work with a pirated version of the game. If you own the game on Steam, go back to the Pre-Installation step.
Equanimity ships with version 2.3 of Mod Organizer 2 that has a false positive for the file usvsproxy.exe. Current solution is to allow this threat using Windows Defender or your antivirus of choice and re-run the installation.
Download the latest ENB Series from here and copy d3d11.dll and d3dcompiler_46e.dll to your game folder.
Copy the all of the files from the Installation folder/Game Folder Files directory into your game folder.
This list uses Obsidian Weathers Weathers so you want to get an ENB that is compatible.
I personally recomend Rudy ENB but there are other solid choices like Silent Horizons,Nyclix ENB and Skyrim SE Re-Engaged ENB
Once you found a preset you like. Download it and extract the enbseries folder, enbseries.ini and enblocal.ini to your Skyrim Special Edition directory.
- Please check that vsync is set to disable in enblocal.ini otherwise you will be stuck compiling shaders
Head over to the installation folder and locate an executable named ModOrganizer.exe and launch it. Once its launched there will be a dropdown box on the top right and a big run button next to it. Ensure it is set to SKSE by selecting it in the dropdown box and then hitting the run button.
If this Modlist receives an update please check the Changelog before doing anything. Always backup your saves or start a new game after updating.
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!
Updating is like installing. You only have to make sure that you select the same path and tick the overwrite existing Modlist button.
Once you've created and named your character wait for all the messages in the top left to fade away then open your inventory and close it. You will be greeted with a notification from The Curator's Companion. Hit OK and wait for another pop-up from it, usually takes about a minute and pick either Scan Now or Scan Later (this makes no difference on a new game).
Once the game has loaded. Wait until there are no more messages on the top left corner. Then you can hit escape and click on Mod Configuration to continue this section. Mods or sections with (Preference) next to their name is solely preferential and do not affect the balance of the game.

If you have an ultrawide monitor (21:9), the UI will be off. You will want to reinstall Dear Diary with the widescreen option. Pick any options on the FOMOD you want but ensure Extended UI, More Informative Console and Morehud is ticked
I highly recommend using BethINI which is included in this Modlist (can be found in MO2/tools/BethINI). I recommend tweaking the Detail section for more FPS:
Shadow Resolution: Very big one. A good balance is2048which is the borderline between high FPS drainage and garbage looking shadows.Ambient Occlusion: Highly recommended to turn either this or your ENB version off. Do not have the game AO and an ENB AO turned on at the same time.Remove Shadows: If you really struggle, use this. This will disable all Shadows (not recommended)
You can just remove the MO2 folder and be done with it. SKSE and ENB files will still be in your game folder so I recommend using ENB and ReShade Manager if you want to remove the ENB.

While I'm always available on the Wabbajack Discord, I would advise checking the Issues (open and closed ones) on GitHub first if you have any problems. The same goes for Enhancements or Feature/Mod Requests. DO NOT DM ME ON DISCORD. I WILL NOT PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR YOU IN DMS AND I WILL BLOCK YOU.
