Location of Creation Club Data Zip folder

[david.capps.1957]

Hello, I am not sure if this is the correct discussion group bit here it. I am attempting to install the Little Bit Of Everything mod list through Wabbajack. The installation fails each time with a Manual Download Report being generated. The report indicates that the Creation Kit EXE, INI and Data Zip files are missing,

I located the EXE and INI files in the Skyrim Game folder and copied and pasted them in the download folder for the mod list, I have been unable to locate a Data.zip file/folder doe Creation Kit. Despite copying the EXE and INI files to the download folder for the mod list, these files continue to appear on the manual download report.

I am not what one would call technically proficient and am hoping someone can provide some guidance. If this is not the appropriate discussion group for this question I apologize and if the correct discussion group name could be provided I will gladly re-post my question there.

Are you still struggling with this? I'll forward the link in to Coffee House, in case someone more familiar with CC weirdness jumps in.

I’m going to state it is early for me, your questions are a little confusing and I never messed with wabbajack so I know nothing about it. Good morning anyway ~.~

Creation Kit (CK) is a separate download for the game here on Steam. Just remember the CK is for the most recent game version for Skyrim SE which is 1.6.1170. Once you install this you will have the CreationKit.exe and it’s .ini files and they will be installed in your Root Folder which also has SkyrimSE.exe and SkyrimSELauncher.exe.

Inside the main game folder / root folder is the Data folder for the game. Most mods are installed here as it holds the Textures and Mesh files. If it is asking for a Data Folder that is zipped. This would be the one to make a copy of / right click and select Compress to Zip file. Then you can move to where it is needed.

I think that with Data Zip file Scripts.zip in the Data folder is ment. For Skyrim SE the version of CreationKit.exe should be 1.6.1378.1. I can't imagine that a zipped Data folder is needed. The Creation Kit .ini files should be the ones created on 25 Feb. 2025, as well as Scripts.zip.

Like Corinze, I have no further experience with wabbajacks or similar collections, and stay far away from those.

That is a good thought about the script folder Altbert. These 2 videos will help with the install of the CK and un-packing the script files.

Looks like I mistyped "CC" instead of "CK" on both threads. Never should write before second cup of coffee.

Thanks for chiming in.
