Where Does Wabbajack Store Downloads and Modlists?
Wabbajack portable folders for downloads, mods and settings.
Last updated
Wabbajack runs portable from its own folder, with downloads, installed files and settings in subfolders beside the executable. Nothing hides in AppData.
The downloads folder dominates disk usage. Point it at a roomy drive before installing hundred-gigabyte lists.
Where Wabbajack stores this, by platform
<Wabbajack folder>\downloads
Nexus and archive downloads cache here; installed modlist files land in sibling modlist folders. Settings files sit beside the exe. Move the whole Wabbajack folder to relocate everything, and exclude it from antivirus scanning.
