Installing Thuldor's Skyrim is relatively easy and, if you have Nexus Premium, will be a simple waiting game. If you are updating the modlist, you can safely skip to the updating section.
These steps are only required for installing the Modlist for the first time. Additionally, many of these steps may be covered in other modlist installs, for new users I suggest reading through here regardless.
Larger Skyrim modlists require a significant amount of memory, running out of memory will result in crashes and other potential issues. Due to its size and number of files required to be handled for the list, this step is NOT optional, I do not care how much RAM or VRAM you have, please do this step.

If you have your Steam Library in Program Files, read this and move it elsewhere. Locations such as Desktop, Documents, Downloads, OneDrive, etc. will cause issues with installing and playing the list.
The English Steam version of Skyrim is the only supported version. I understand that this may be frustrating for non-English speaking users or users with the GOG/Bethesda.net versions, but due to the core file differences between the different versions, I am only able to support one game version.
If you have never installed the Creation Club Content before, please do the following:
There is no work around for this and pirating this content will not work. If you pirate the content and come asking for assistance, you will be banned.
Properties and then select Local Files. Click Verify Integrity of Game Files and wait.Once you have completed pre-installation, download the latest version of Wabbajack on this github and place it in a folder such as C:Wabbajack. DO NOT place it in Program Files, User folders (such as Desktop, Documents, Downloads, OneDrive, etc.), or in your Skyrim's Steam folder. I recommend placing it on an SSD as it will work quicker on there.
The list requires Wabbajack version 3.7.0.0 or later, installing on older versions of Wabbajack will prevent the installation from being completed.
Downloading and installing Thuldor's Skyrim can take a while depending on your internet connection and computer. To install Thuldor's Skyrim, complete the following steps.
Browse ModlistsThe download location does not need to be on a SSD, but it makes installing faster.
It is possible that you may encounter an error with Wabbajack when installing. Some common issues are listed below.

Thuldor's Skyrim uses a Wabbajack feature called Stock Game to keep your Skyrim installation clean. All the files that you need to run the list are in a folder called Stock Game. You don’t need to copy anything at all.
Generally speaking, using Windows Defender is advised as it is a solid antivirus software that will have minimal interference with the game. Antivirus programs can be notorious for false flagging MO2's VFS as problematic, causing crashes or other problems. Antivirus programs like BitDefender, Norton, and Webroot are especially aggressive, and you will very likely need to fully remove them from your PC in order to actually launch the game through MO2.
If you use Windows Defender, it is advised that you set up an Exception for the modlist. To do this follow these steps.
