Installation Steps

1. 1
   Download Wabbajack

   Head to wabbajack.org and download the latest version of the Wabbajack app. Install it to a folder that is not inside Program Files, e.g. C:\Wabbajack.
2. 2
   Prepare your install location

   Create a new folder for the collection, e.g. D:\Modlists\CyberpunkUltra. This must not be inside the game folder or inside any Windows-protected directory.
3. 3
   Download the collection file

   Download the .wabbajack file from the Nexus Mods page or from our Discord. Save it anywhere accessible.
4. 4
   Install via Wabbajack

   Open Wabbajack → click "Install from Disk" → select the .wabbajack file. Set the Installation Location to the folder you created in Step 2. Click "Play" and wait — this will take a while.
5. 5
   Launch via Mod Organizer 2

   Once complete, open ModOrganizer.exe inside your install folder. Always launch the game from MO2 — never from Steam or GOG directly.

Post-Installation

After installation is complete, open Ultra+ Manager (included in the collection) to apply the recommended preset for your GPU tier. See the GPU Settings page for details.
