wabbajack VS legendary

As far as I know, downloading and installing each mod is the main method for the modding-openmw lists.

There is a tool to try to automate game modlist installs called Wabbajack [1]. It was briefly discussed on the openmw forums [2]. I'm not sure if anyone has tried further to get the modding-openmw lists working with it. I have never used Wabbajack, so I don't know too much other than it exists. It still seems to have extra requirements according to the post, including a premium NexusMods account if you don't want to manually download everything.

Just as I typed all the above I saw a mention of portmod [3] in the modding-openmw guide about mod managers. Seems it's like Gentoo's portage, but for game mods. I see it has some meta packages for modding-openmw in their ebuild-like repository [4], but I don't think any of the big lists have been updated in awhile. Also, there again seems to be issues with it auto downloading from NexusMods mentioned in the issue tracker. Nevertheless, it looks to be an interesting project.

There haven't been a need to mess around with mod load order since at least 2019.

Wabbajack is the name of an installer to simplify installing mods, in these days of a modded skyrim install having potentially hundreds of mods totalling more gigs than the entire primary game install.

All previous releases are readily available on the Wabbajack Github Releases page: https://github.com/wabbajack-tools/wabbajack/releases

To do that: download https://github.com/wabbajack-tools/wabbajack/releases/download/2.5.3.28/2.5.3.28.zip. Unzip to a folder called 2.5.3.28 inside your directory where wabbjack.exe is located. Run 2.5.3.28\wabbajack.exe

You can also check out Wabbajack which is used with this modding guide. This should hopefully set you on the right path. Pre-Skyrim modding typically uses 3rd party modding software that is more in-depth and configurable than MCM to the detriment of being accessible to those less inclined to spend time setting up mods.

You should try using Legendary. It's an open-source command-line client for Epic. It does pretty much what Epic does but it's quicker to install/launch games and you won't have to worry about telemetry or "spyware." Although, you will have to buy games through the Epic online store.

I'm using an open-source alternative to the epic games launcher (legendary) that uses wine, and when i try to run a game through the terminal, a log of wine shows up.

It's an epic games launcher alternative, and a UI frontend for Legendary. (Don't worry, guys. It can launch non-epic games as well 😅) It's simply meant to be like heroic, but this time putting macOS first.

If you are familiar with using the command-line then you can use Legendary and import the game to your EGS, but you will need to do this one by one for each game.

Oh, you're talking about the launcher? Just use Legendary. CLI-based, so performance isn't an issue. If you know how to use a command line, you'll know how to use legendary with no problem. You can even launch some games without ever connecting to Epic after downloading them. Highly recommend, it's what I use.

Hay un launcher alternativo, Legendary. (https://github.com/derrod/legendary). Se usa con comandos (al menos la última vez que lo usé no tenía interfaz). Es.. interesante.

Grab your favorite EGS client and install the game. For this purpose I am using legendary. Legendary is important later, so it is a good idea to have it installed regardless. At this stage, if you try running the game, the game will crash within moments, and spawn 2 windows: a Wine debug window, and a bugsplat window.

If you want to avoid using the Epic Games Launcher, but still want to play the games you have there, you can use Legendary (which requires you to use a command line) or Heroic Games Launcher(which is based on Legengary and has a Graphical User Interface, so is much more user friendly). Both are open source.
