Clean Skyrim in ENGLISH language installed in non-protected folder	✅	Before you do anything with Wabbajack, ensure that Skyrim is installed in a non-protected folder (for examle, the root of your drive is a good non-protected folder, like D:\). It cannot be located in Program Files (that's a protected folder!) or the list would not function. Relocate the game if necessary. Here's the Steam guide on moving games to another folder/drive. Here's a Bethesda's guide on how to set the game to English.
Skyrim AE paid 20$ upgrade	✅	This is required for the modlist to work, no exceptions! Regular Special Edition or free CC content won't do.

Nexus Account	✅	Basic Nexus account is mandatory; it must be created before continuing.

Visual Studio 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2022	✅	Required for Mod Organizer 2 and a few mods.
600 GB of free space on SSD	✅	After the installation our list + downloads would take up around 450 GB (downloads folder can be deleted or relocated after installation, it would free you around 150 GB), but the whole installation process would require up to 600 GB to store its temp files and caches.
Disabled/removed OneDrive	✅	Ensure that OneDrive is uninstalled or completely disabled. This program locks some of Skyrim's configuration files when in use and would cause the modlist to experience errors.
Pagefile set to 40 GB	✅	You must set your Advanced Memory Pagefile to at least 40GB or the modlist would constantly crash. On Windows 11 you can find this setting in the About page for your PC. Here is an instruction manual to find this specific option; other versions of Windows are mostly similar. Setting the minimum and maximum pagefile size to 40,960 on one Solid State Drive is recommended.
