Configure New Modlist (Post-Download)

Note

This guide uses Tuxborn (a Skyrim Special Edition modlist) as a worked example throughout. The steps are identical for any Wabbajack modlist — substitute your modlist name and game wherever Tuxborn and Skyrim appear.

Use this workflow if you have a modlist that was installed with another method (such as Wabbajack on Windows, or following older guides) and want to integrate it properly with Steam on Linux. See Installing a Modlist with Jackify for the full end-to-end guide if you are starting from scratch.

This workflow will:

Create a proper Steam shortcut
Configure Proton settings
Set up launch options
Install any missing compatibility components

Step 1: Open Configure New Modlist

From the Jackify main menu, select Modlist Tasks, then Configure New Modlist (Post-Download).

Modlist Tasks menu — Configure New Modlist highlighted

Modlist Tasks menu — select Configure New Modlist (Post-Download)

The configuration screen for bringing an existing modlist installation into Steam

Step 2: Locate Your ModOrganizer.exe

Browse to your existing ModOrganizer.exe file. This tells Jackify where your modlist is installed.

Browse to locate your ModOrganizer.exe — Jackify will analyse the installation and configure Steam integration automatically

Jackify analyses:

Game type and version
Required compatibility components
Steam integration requirements

Step 3: Set Name and Resolution

Enter a name for the modlist and select your display resolution.

Name, path and resolution filled in — ready to start configuration

Step 4: Start Configuration

Click Start Configuration. Jackify will:

Create a Steam shortcut
Configure Proton settings
Set up launch options
Install any missing compatibility components

Once complete, open Steam and click Play to launch Mod Organizer 2, then run the game from there.
