Once added, edit the properties of the new ModOrganizer.exe entry. You can give it a more sensible name - I used "Skyrim - Anvil":

Then in the Compatibility tab tick the box for 'Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool', then select the Proton version - Personally I now use Proton 9.0 Beta which has recently been introduced by Valve. This some very useful fixes for Wabbajack Modlists and Bethesda game mods in general. The script will automatically handle any additional tasks required if you select Proton 8 for whatever reason.

Lastly, you will be asked if you want to set the resolution. This is optional but I'm trying to reduce the manual steps as much as I can. If you're running this on a Steam Deck, it will assume the desired resolution is 1280x800 (If you are going to be played while docked, you will have to manually alter the resolution via MO2 for skyrimprefs.ini/fallou4prefs and SSEDisplayTweaks). Not on a Steam Deck, you will be asked to input your desired resolution.

And that's it! You should now be able to click Play on the Modlist entry in Steam. MO2 should start and now be pre-configured correctly. You may still have to/want to disable any features or mods you don't want or aren't compatible - things such as ENB. For the most part, any Modlist-specific steps will still be listed in my manual guide for that Modlist, but I will also soon be attempting to add Modlist-specific steps to the automation script, where required.
-**PLEASE NOTE** - I have also seen a number of Modlists hang on first launch - either before displaying the Main Menu options (New Game etc), or after clicking New Game. This only seems to happen the first time, and is fine every subsequent time - I believe at this time that it is related to Shader Cache building, but I haven't been able to pin it down or resolve it. This is not unique to this automation script, and is a minor annoyance more than anything.

There are also some odd cases when on first launch, some mods may fail to load - again this is usually only for the first launch, but there have been times when a restart of Steam has been required (or just a reboot of the deck) - I haven't been able to find out why.. at least it is only a minor annoyance and subsequent launches are fine.
