A fresh experience of Fallout 4. A whole new leveling system,new combat mechanics, new quests and locations, and hundreds of new weapons and armors replacing the originals in a lore friendly manner.
For the Installation of Dying Breath you must use the most recent version of Fallout 4 on steam and download all DLC's (expect the Hi-res Texture Pack)
This is only a requirment for the first install not when updating.
Please make sure you have the latest Visual C++ installed. Direct link
Please uninstall Fallout 4 through Steam and delete the documents folder typically located at "Drive"\Documents\My Games\Fallout4. Once this is finished you may reinstall Fallout 4 and all included DLC's (This list uses a stock game folder and will download the correct versions of all files)
After Reinstalling Fallout 4 make sure to run the Game atleast once for the Graphics Check, hit play, and load the game to the main menu before closing and starting Wabbaajack
Download the latest version of Wabbajack here and place the Wabbajack.exe file in a folder when unzipping at a root location such as C:\Wabbajack (This is the recommended installation method according to the wiki)
The Process itself can take a while to speed this up you can put all files on an SSD (This is the reccomened and intended installation method for Dying Breath anyway.)
STILL WRITING INSTRUCTIONS FOR HOW TO INSTALL WITH WABBAJACK (These are from the WIKI https://wiki.wabbajack.org/user_documentation/Installing%20a%20Modlist.html)
Open Wabbajack and Navigate to the Gallery
Decide on a List to install
Click the download button
Wait for the first download of the .wabbajack file to finish
When it is done click the play button where previously you had the download button
Open and read the specific readme of the list you are about to install
Download any third-party or external files before attempting to install the list
Select the paths for where the list should be installed
Installation Location: The location where the files required to play will be installed to
Can't be set to Wabbajack's Location
Can't be set to Game Location
Can't be the same as another list (lists can't be merged)
Can't be in a Windows OS managed folder (Examples include Program Files, Downloads, and the Desktop)
Download Location: The location where the downloaded archives are stored.
Can share the same location as the downloads folders of other lists (avoids duplicate downloads)
Don't merge download locations if you plan to create and share your own modlists, because Wabbajack can't really differentiate which archives are the ones it needs and which just have similar files.
Wait till Wabbajack is done
Go back to the readme (which will open automatically) and complete any final steps mentioned there
If you recieve lots of errors while downloading please relogin into Nexus through wabbajack and restart the application before requesting support from anywhere.
If you have issues with files not downloading, manually download the files and drop them inside of the Download folder, then re-run Wabbajack. When Wabbajack detects the correct file it will resume installation.

You may delete the downloads folder in the location you set during installion to save space. The only downside is when updating in the future you will have to redownload every mod.
Once the installation is complete open the output folder and launch ModOrganizer.exe. Check the top right corner and make sure "Dying Breath" is listed in the dropdown and click RUN Always run Dying Breath through Mod Organizer
Once you've made a new character you will set your name and choose your appropriate stats. Select YES on the popup to wait for workshop to finish setting up (This is to allow time for scripts to run). You will then have a short intro coming out of the vault.
Next set up your MCM Settings.
Hit ESC to open the MENU and select the option MCM Settings. There may be a short delay while the settings a caching after that loads select the MCM settings manager and apply a preset. (I personally recommend the 3090 Hud) When finished Save, Load, and you may begin.
If Dying Breath receives an update, follow the same steps as installation but be sure to tick the overwrite existing Modlist. This will delete any files that have been added
If you experience the infinite loading screen on a new game, wait 30 seconds then hit ENTER, you may also press T to skip the loading screen.
