I suggest that while you are waiting for it to download/install, you familiarize yourself with any other related information, including what the discussion is on the Discord for that modlist. It will take a while, but nowhere near as long as it would take you to do this all yourself. For every list I’ve downloaded, I read the entire readme and then downloaded and started the installation.Make sure you have enough space available (this does NOT include your Skyrim game, that is in addition to the modlist). All modlists show a download size and installation size when you hover over them. There is a link to the gallery page on Wabbajack and a download button. If it appears to be working, I open up Wabbajack (the downloaded program not the website, as the website does NOT show if a list is under maintenance) and go to “Browse Modlists” and select the one I want to download.The best thing to check is the pinned messages on the server for that particular list. First off, I check the Discord to see if the list is down sometimes they take them down to update, but they usually are back up in a few days if not hours.The following steps are very generalized Make sure to follow the specific ones in each ReadMe! While the general download process is the same across all options, each modlist has it’s own instructions and I highly suggest you read through all of the specific readme before even beginning.Also keep in mind that the Wabbajack program itself gets updates and you will always need to run the most recent one so if you get an error when trying to download a list, check that you have the most up-to-date version of Wabbajack itself.

You can see which mods are included in a particular modlist by either looking at the manifest in the Wabbajack program or the archive search on the gallery page (some modlists include a spreadsheet with their readme, as well). I also suggest you join the Wabbajack Discord. Download and install Wabbajack and browse their gallery to see which modlist you want to try out.
