Post-Installation

note

Assuming you've completed the Installation part, let's continue with post-installation!

Start MO2 and launch the list​

  1. Navigate to your Licentia NEXT directory and execute ModOrganizer.exe:

    MO2 start
    tip

    IF YOU CAN'T FIND the ModOrganizer.exe despite Wabbajack telling you the install finished successfully — for example your folder looks like this:

    No MO2

    Go back to Installation and keep re-installing Licentia NEXT until you see that ModOrganizer.exe file appeared in your Licentia NEXT's folder.

    THIS IS NOT A LICENTIA NEXT ISSUE, IT'S A WABBAJACK ISSUE since version 4.0+. We can't do anything about it, sorry.

  2. If prompted, choose Yes to associate Mod Organizer with .nxm links. If there’s no prompt, skip this step.

  3. In the top-right corner, make sure that SKSE is selected from the dropdown (1), and click the Run button (2):

    MO2 run
    tip

    Wabbajack auto-detects and sets your game resolution, but if you wish to change it manually — select the INI Editor from the Tools menu along the icon bar of MO2:

    MO2 ini editor

    Select SkyrimPrefs.ini file. Scroll down until you see the [Display] header and look for the iSize values. Note that the TYPICAL ORDER IS REVERSED, the HEIGHT is listed BEFORE the WIDTH:

    MO2 skyrimperfs

    Hit Save at the bottom, and you're done!

  4. Wait untill the game loads, it might take a while!

    note

    There's a game of Flappy Dragon that opens up while your Skyrim is loading:

    Flappy Dragon

    Don't worry, you didn't just download half a terabyte of Flappy Dragon!

    It's there just to brighten up the waiting time 🐲

  5. When you're in the main Skyrim menu — proceed to the next step.

Start the new game​

  1. Start the new game — in main menu as normal by pressing New Game

  2. Create & name your character — choose your character’s appearance and name.

  3. Wait for mod initialization and list auto-configuration

    note

    Since 13.4.1 Licentia NEXT has a fully automated list configuration process thanks to our own amazing @ninjawaffle!

    It would take some time to complete, but you won't have to do anything manually.

    caution

    When you spawn in after character creation, YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO CONTROL YOUR CHARACTER UNTILL THE LIST HAS FINISHED ITS AUTO-CONFIGURATION!

    • You will be greeted with this pop-up message:

      Greetings message from automation script

    • Read it, click OK and wait. The list will now auto-configure itself!

    tip

    This may take a while, depending on your PC (from 5 minutes on fast PCs to 20 on slow ones). Don't worry, it's normal, just wait.

    • You'll see various mods being auto-configured in the top-left corner of the screen:

      Mod configuration in progress

    • And our automatic script will send these notifications every 15-20 seconds to let you know that we're still in progress:

      Auto-configuration progress

    • When the auto-configuration is done, you'll see this pop-up message:

      Finished message from automation script

    • Read it for basic start tips, then just click OK and you're good to go — THE LIST IS COMPLETELY CONFIGURED NOW! 🎉

    • The last thing before you embark on your Skyrim adventure — you'll be offered a divine blessing with LVL 5 and/or 1000 gold. Choose according to your preference:

      Divine blessing

  4. Save your game by pressing F5 (or from the main menu), exit the game COMPLETELY TO THE DESKTOP, start it again via MO2 as described above in step 3, and load that save.

  5. That's it! Go play the game already 🎂 (and read the Final Notes for more beginner tips and tricks).
