Installation
Introduction
Outlander is a lightweight Enderal modlist meant to enhance visuals, provide quality of life improvements and introduce some small content additions while keeping close to the game's original vision.
Minimum Specs
Users have reported running the list fine with as low as a Ryzen 1300x and a GTX960. You may need to use performance ini files (included) with systems this low but it should run fine and still look great!
Community
Support is offered in The Lost Outpost server and in the Issues section of Outlander GitHub. If you have any questions following the add-on's instructions or if you find a typo or any other mistake in the documentation, feel free to report in TPF Discord server's support channel.
List Contents
You can browse the full list contents here if you want to know exactly what you're getting.
Installation
Installation is handled through Wabbajack with a one-click install of the modlist. There are some pre-installation steps which must be followed for first time users so please pay attention to those.
Pre-Installation
These steps are only needed if you install the Modlist for the first time. If you are updating the Modlist, jump straight to Updating.
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 Enderal 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.
Clean Enderal
I highly recommend uninstalling the game through Steam, deleting the game folder, and reinstalling it. You should also clean up the Enderal Special Edition folder in Documents/My Games/ by deleting the contents in it.
THIS is approximately what a clean Enderal install should look like after shredding or cleaning it manually.
Start Enderal
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 Enderal directory.
Using Wabbajack
Preparations
Download the release to a working folder. This folder must not be in a common folder 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.
Grab the latest release of Wabbajack from here and place the Wabbajack.exe file in the working folder.
Downloading and Installing
The download and installation process can take a little while (an hour or more) 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.
- Create a folder for the List at the root of your drive (like the Wabbajack folder) called "Outlander"
- Go back to your drive, and create a new folder, called "Wabbajack Downloads Folder". This specific folder can be on a different drive if you wish
- Download the latest release of
Outlanderfrom the Nexus Page - Select the created folder in step 1 as your installation folder
- Select the created folder in step 2 as your downloads folder
- Click the Go/Begin button and wait for Wabbajack to finish
Problems with Wabbajack
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 lose no progress.
Seriously, simply retrying the Wabbajack download fixes most problems.
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 until I update the Modlist.
Some files are known to be problematic, it is likely those are the ones that failed. You can download them manually from their source and place the archives AS IS in the downloads folder.
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.
Pagefile in prevention of memory crashes
Bigger Enderal modlists need a lot of memory, and when there is not enough available it may fail allocating more. To fix this, you'll want to have a bigger pagefile.
Updating
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 saves will be kept, but please check each update changelog to see if the update is save compatible. 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.
