This Modlist contains mods with sexual content, and you must be of legal age in your country (most Western countries: 18+, some Eastern ones: 21+).
Licentia is one of Wabbajack's oldest and most well-regarded adult modlists, featuring optional non-fetish content with the OSuite series of OStim mods and an emphasis on build variety, backed up by an accessible Power Fantasy design philosophy.
Prefer your sex loving and optional? Play this modlist -- Licentia.
Prefer your sex abusive and intrusive? Play its brother modlist -- Servitium.

Serana Dead Sexy Collection: You might have heard tell of an Ancient, Depraved Version of Licentia called DEAD. This is that version, except curated by the official author of the Serana Dead Sexy Suite of Mods. A grindhouse, murderschlock, Z-movie-grade list from Hell. I don't bring DEAD back because Fun Guy Scott has the Final Answer.
Cursedelica on the Wabbajack UI, Unofficial. A seizure inducing psychotropic infuriating mind fuck that will make you question why you got into this hobby in the first place. Also known as the "Best Modlist Ever."
Ascensio in the Wabbajack UI, Official. A great visuals only list to build your own dream collection off of. Please do not disturb the authors with questions about adult content. They are fragile, like Smokey.
Any of the Modlists hosted on the Jolly Co-Operators Discord Server Mix of Official and Unofficial. They are all great. They also take their hobby seriously in an extremely uncool way, unlike yours truly, who is Rad to the Max.
If you want to examine a complete list of the mods in this modlist, go here.
The recommended setup for an enjoyable experience at 1080p is at least
- intel i7 or AMD Ryzen 5600 or later
- NVIDIA RTX 2070 SUPER or AMD Radeon 5700 XT or later
This account is mandatory; it must be created before continuing. Nexus Premium is strongly recommended or the installation will take many more hours (possibly days).
Before you do anything with Wabbajack, ensure that Skyrim is installed in a non-protected folder (such as the root of your drive, like C:\). It cannot be located in Program Files or the list will not function. Relocate the game as necessary.
For _ Wabbajack _ to match its files,Skyrim needs to be set to the English language. Other languages will not work.
Licentia requires the additional Creation Club Content from the Skyrim Anniversary Edition Upgrade or the modlist will not install. The price is about $20.
Create a directory on the root of one of your Solid State drives (such as D:\Licentia) where you wish the modlist to be installed. You need at least 600GB free for this modlist and a few GBs in the Wabbajack and OS drives for caches. About half of these GBs are mod downloads; the downloads folder can be deleted or relocated after installation.
Ensure you have set antivirus exceptions for this folder, the Skyrim vanilla game folder, and the Wabbajack folder, or the installation will fail. Certain antivirus packages do not properly respect exceptions and cannot be fully disabled (Webroot and Bitdefender are examples of these). These tools must be uninstalled from your system.
Ensure that OneDrive is uninstalled or completely disabled. This program locks some of Skyrim's configuration files when in use and will cause the modlist to experience errors.
The Microsoft Visual C++ redistributable package is required for Mod Organizer 2 (as well as certain mods included with Licentia) and you can download it from Microsoft. Download the x64 version of "Visual Studio 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2022" here.
You must set your Advanced Memory Pagefile to at least 40GB or the modlist will constantly crash. On Windows 11 you can find this setting in the About page for your PC. Here is a document to find the specific option; other versions of Windows are similar. Setting the minimum and maximum pagefile size to 40,960 on one Solid State Drive is recommended.
UPDATE Currently you no longer need to manually download the Kaidan file. Unsure yet if this situation will change.
Login to Nexus with the Wabbajack app. This login can be found by clicking the GEAR icon in the top right. It will toggle over to "logged in" when successful.
Depending on your system specs, the download and installation process can take a long time.
There are many different scenarios where Wabbajack will produce an error. Re-run Wabbajack before seeking assistance. Wabbajack will only download and reinstall the minimum necessary to get the modlist working.
Various files beginning with "cc" and ending with "esl" or "esm" failed to download.
You did not purchase the $20 upgrade to Skyrim, and this is not negotiable. Purchase it, verify it, delete it and re-download it if necessary, and try again.
Could not download x:
Some Internet providers have difficulty accessing the servers hosting the list's files. Use a VPN (Virtual Private Network) with a terminus set to the United States. Free options include ProtonVPN and Cloudflare WARP. If a download gets interrupted, delete all corrupt local copies before trying again.
Wabbajack could not find my game folder:
Licentia Black will not work with a GOG or pirated game version. If you own the game on Steam, return to the Installation step. If this still doesn't work, ensure you are not running Wabbajack as an Administrator. Asking for help with pirated copies of the game will get you banned from Discord Support.
MEGA download cap exceeded.
This shouldn't happen unless you download the list multiple times or download multiple Wabbajack lists. Sign up for an account or wait for the timeout to expire.
If you wish to change your game's resolution, select the "INI Editor" from the Tools menu along the icon bar of MO2 and change it via the SkyrimPrefs.ini file. Scroll down until you see the [Display] header and look for the iSize values. Note that the TYPICAL ORDER IS REVERSED, the HEIGHT is listed BEFORE the WIDTH.
If you are confident you meet the above target, but still experience severe performance drops, you may need to customize your BIOS settings to maximize your hardware. Refer to your motherboard's documentation. The most common failure point is too-low RAM speed, which can often be addressed by enabling the "XMP" or "DOCP" profiles.
Launch ModOrganizer.exe from the directory in which you installed the list. Launch the game from the SKSE entry in the drop-down menu.
Wait for all of the messages in the upper left corner of the screen to appear and disappear. A warning will be issued that this readme is mandatory for proper installation. Click through and continue to wait.
NEW!! The first handful of levels in this modlist can be rough. I have included a small note in your starting inventory that grants you a little boost at the start of your adventure. If you wish to boost yourself to level 5, read the note that says, "Read Me for 1,000 Starting XP!" Once you have received the "Level Up" notification, open the stats menu and choose your skills and perks. You must choose your skills for each level followed by a primary stat (such as Health, Magicka, or Stamina). CHOOSING THE PRIMARY STAT COMPLETES THE LEVEL UP. Pick the skills FIRST. Then close the level up menu, wait for all the skill notifications to complete, and open it again to choose your Perks. As a little bonus, you can sell the note to a general goods vendor (like Lucan or Belethor) to clean them out of gold and grant yourself a little nest egg for buying gear.
When all of the messages have disappeared, open the Main Menu with the ESC key and find the entry labeled "MCM Recorder." (They are in alphabetical order.) Here, you will find an MCM "Recording" labeled simply "MCM Recording." Click on it, answer "Yes," and use ESC to back out of all menus. You will receive a popup asking if you wish to play the recording; please do so.
Once again, please wait for all of the messages in the upper left corner of the screen to appear and disappear.
That's it! Your modlist is configured.
When you reach your first exterior world location, you will be prompted to enable Survival Mode. This mod disables fast travel and requires eating, sleeping, and staying warm to survive. The option can be changed later in the default "Gameplay" settings of Skyrim.
You will also receive a prompt about which Divine and/or Daedra you wish to worship, depending on your race. Choose according to your preference.
Refer to Troubleshooting for answers to common problems with the modlist.
Download the modlist's .wabbajack file again and specify the same directories. Wabbajack will only update what has changed, it will not repeat the entire installation. It is rarely recommended to continue a save when you update a modlist.
You can just remove the Licentia folder.
I am regularly available on my discord server.
