Preamble

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, however, you must be of legal age to play PROJECT Skyrim, that is 18 in some countries and 21 in others, is up to you to know your country age requirements.

You still need to download mods from Loverlabs for installation process

Installation

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.

Pre-Installation

Install SSE Creation Kit (Steam)

Please install SSE Creation Kit into your Skyrim installation (from steam), it's as simply as downloading a DLC, just search it in your steam library and download it.

Installing Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package

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.

Installing Microsoft .NET 5.0

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.

Microsoft

Websites & Programs

Clean Skyrim

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 Skyrim

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.

PS. Skyrim received an update in 5-12-2023, so the latest verion is 1.6.1130 now. Current version of Prokectject(0.8.2) only applied to those have 1.6.640 version(disable Auto-update).

NO NEED TO DOWNGRADE ANYMORE

You will need to downgrade the game to 1.6.640 and SE Creation Kit to 1.6.438 for the installation.

How to Downgrade:

SSE Creation Kit 1.6.438: download_depot 1946180 1946182 5099162879680505807 download_depot 1946180 1946183 1633303557398589581

Skyrim SSE 1.6.640: download_depot 489830 489831 3660787314279169352 download_depot 489830 489832 2756691988703496654 download_depot 489830 489833 5291801952219815735

1.Open a command window "Run" by pressing «Win + R» and then enter the command: steam://open/console, and then press Enter. This will open the console tab in Steam.

2.The bottom will have a space for you to enter the above codes. Copy the code as written, one line at a time. It will download the files to your "steam/common/content" folder, wherever the Steam manager was installed to (eg. C:\Steam\steamapps\common\content). If you cannot find it, just search for the steam folder: "depot_1946180" and "depot_489830" after the downloads have completed.

3.Replace your "steamapps/commom/Skyrim Special Edition" files (or wherever your Creation Kit/Skyrim files are) with the ones in "depot_1946180" and "Skyrim Special Edition" files with the files in "depot_489830".

Steam Library

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."

Set the Game language to English

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.

unknown (2)

  1. Some mods will have to be downloaded manually. It will pop up a window with the site to download the mod from. At the top, it will tell you which file exactly to download.

    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.

unknown (3)

  1. 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. Join the Discord and check https://discord.com/channels/869058032506667018/1022340915236446218 for the links

    Simply download any that you had an issue with and move them to the Wabbajack download directory and re-attempt installation.

    If you are still having issues, feel free to hit up our support channel in the discord server.

  2. Once you have finished installing the modlist without errors, you can open your "Project Skyrim" folder, and create a shortcut for Mod Organizer.

  3. You are now on the final steps!

    Open your folders like so, "Project Skyrim" -> "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. Overwrite the existing files.

unknown (4)

  1. You can now launch Project Skyrim from Mod Organizer by clicking the "Run" button at the top right. Make sure "SKSE" is 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.

unknown (5)

Starting The Game

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.
