Do note that you MUST use FULL (ALL DLC, except high-res textures) LATEST Steam version of Fallout 4 because we've said so. Not up for debates.

These steps are only needed if you are installing Wasteland Reborn for the first time.

You most likely already have this installed. The package is required for MO2, and you can download it from Microsoft. Download the x64 version under "Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019". Direct link if the other link doesn't work.

To turn off Steam automatically updating the game for you, head over to the Properties window, navigate to the Updates tab and change Automatic updates to Only update this game when I launch it.

This game does use a Stock Game Folder, so it should be fine in the event of an update, but it is still best practice to turn it off.

It is highly recommended to uninstall the game through Steam, delete the game folder, and reinstall it. It is also recommended to delete the Fallout4 folder in Documents/My Games/.

After you have done everything above and have a clean Fallout 4 game folder, start the Launcher and let it do the initial graphics check. Do not worry about this part, as the installation will replace these graphics settings, then Start Fallout 4.

Once the Main Menu has loaded you may exit. After doing this, do not play Fallout 4 again using the Launcher, as it will revert your .ini files and could mess up your settings.

Download the latest version of Wabbajack here and place the Wabbajack.exe file in a folder. This folder must not be in your Desktop, Downloads, or Program Files folder. It's best to create a Wabbajack folder at the root level, like C:/Wabbajack.

The download and installation of Wasteland Reborn process may take a long time, depending on your system. To speed up this process it is advised to place the working folder on an SSD.

1. Open Wabbajack.
2. Click Browse Modlists then click the dropdown menu on top and select Fallout 4 (don't forget to tick Show Unofficial Lists), and download Wasteland Reborn from the Modlist Gallery.
3. Set your download and installation paths. The recommended Installation Path is a blank folder at the root of a drive, such as C:\Wasteland Reborn. The download path will update automatically. There's an option to put the download folder on another drive, for example an HDD, while the instance stays on an SSD.
4. Then click the Go/Begin button.
5. Wait for Wabbajack to finish. It may take awhile, depending on your internet speed and if you are using an SSD or HDD.

While this is happening, the developer team suggests to download the mods that WILL cause issues later down the line if one does not download them before the end of the download phase (these are linked below).

If you run into download issues with Wabbajack, it is recommended to re-running Wabbajack before posting anything. Wabbajack will continue where it left off, so you will not have to start over.

If you have issues with files not downloading, manually download the files and drop them inside of the Download folder, then re-run Wabbajack. Once Wabbajack detects the missing and failed to download files it will finish the setup process.

Current files known to have issues:

1. Colt Single Action Army - F4NV Discord
2. Anti-Material Rifle - F4NV Discord

You must join the F4NV Discord in order to download the AMR and CSAA files. Once you have joined, go to the --F4NV NEWS-- tab and click on released-F4NV-content. Then scroll up until you find those two files. They are located right under the .45 Auto Pistol (Colt M1911) mod.

To ensure the proper settings are enabled, you need to run Bethini. Launch it through the dropdown menu in Mod Organizer 2..

1. Set the Game Path to: "(Your install folder)\Stock Game and make sure to select Fallout4.exe";
2. Set the INI Path to: "(Your install folder)\profiles\Wasteland Reborn";
3. Use the Restore Backup if you want to use your backed up INIs again.

• Change the resolution of the game (I use a 1440p monitor, and the inis are set as such.) , display mode (default should be set and left at Borderless Windowed);
• Set the presets to Bethini Presets, and press the High button.
• Apply the recommended tweaks as well. Then save your settings.

After a successful download deleting the downloads folder's content is safe. Note: If the user does end up cleaning the folder, a redownload WILL be in order if they do end up deciding to update. As the modpack in the very first phase (open beta) expect to be bombarded with updates of any caliber.

Head over to the installation folder, locate the .exe file ModOrganizer.exe and launch it. Once it launches, there will be a drop-down box on the upper right and a big run button right next to it. Ensure it is set to F4SE select it in the drop-down box, and then click the run button which. You have to run F4SE through Mod Organizer 2 in order to load the mods correctly as Mod Organizer handles some mods via VFS (Virtual File System).

After making a new character in a new game, you will be immediately prompted to set your name and special stats. After this, select yes on the pop up asking about workshop setups, as this list needs extra time to initialize its scripts.

Shortly after, you will be teleported to the top of the Vault 111 entrance.

When you reach the surface, you will be prompted to Inject LIF forms into the Leveled lists. Select inject.

Next the game will ask you about LAERs. Inject these as well.

After this, you'll want to set up your MCM settings.

First, in the start menu, navigate to the MCM settings menu. Then click on the dropdown titled "MCM Settings", and then "MCM Settings Manager". Press Apply on the preset. Afterwards, you'll need to exit back into the game to select yes on a pop up regarding Legendary effects. Select yes on that pop up, then go back to the MCM settings manager and apply the rest of the settings.

Once this is done, Save and load your game, and you're good to go!

If Wasteland Reborn receives an update, please check the Changelog before doing anything.

Wabbajack will delete all files that are not part of the Modlist when updating!

This means that if you added any of your own mods into the Modlist, they will be deleted. In the future we will provide details on how to prevent files from being deleted once the most common issues are fixes.

Updating is like installing the modlist. You only have to make sure that you select the same paths and tick the overwrite existing Modlist button (typically Wabbajack already selects the folders but it is recommended to make sure they're correct before continuing).
