•Steam install is untested, install at your own risk
This guide is designed to install this modpack with as little effort as possible. If all steps were followed correctly you should not have an issue starting the game. If you encounter a problem running Mod Organizer or Skyrim then it is strongly suggested you start over.
The Modpack can extract up to 60 -70 gigs of data and needs 7zip for extraction. (use "extract to" for error free operation)
The Modpack is also designed for a Legendary install on the X:\ Drive. If you have the Steam installation you will need to edit ini files to reflect your current installation directory. READ STEP 4 CAREFULLY. If done incorrectly MO & Skyrim will not work properly.
