Ah, see that makes sense. Robin and BigBizKit have both stated that the API allows Wabbajack the same access that Vortex has. Which is pretty much everything, as I understand it. Totally off-topic, but I have to ask while you're here: What convinced you to name a system that is supposed to produce identical results every time after a staff that produces a random result every time? Just enjoyed the irony? No actually, but that's hilarious I've never thought of it that way. I picked the name Wabbajack, (and my avatar of Sheo) mostly because it was a rarely used but known word in the Skyrim community and I knew whatever I built was going to cause a ton of chaos at first. But now, I think I like the irony better. :D

Wabbjack has a opt out system. https://github.com/wabbajack-tools/opt-out-lists Once again, show me where I can opt my mods out of being downloaded by wabbajack. Wabbjack has a opt out system. https://github.com/wabbajack-tools/opt-out-lists We really should rename the repo and the files. The file opt-out ran into several difficulties and it was discontinued in favor of less mechanical methods of ensuring modlist quality. The file that remains in there and that is regularly updated is our piracy control code. For several sites (GDrive, Mega, MediaFire) Wabbajack won't download any file unless it's been added to the allow list. This list is checked both during compilation and installation so it's quite impossible to use Wabbajack to install pirated files. Other sites, like VectorPlexus, LL and Nexus the entire site is allowed by default. But for the generic stites we approve files on a per-file basis. Sorry for the confusion, we really should rename that repo

This is also tied to donation points, right? Could that be part of what's going on here? Sure it's more work to make a fomod installer that allows users to select which parts of a mod compilation they want, but more smaller mods equates to more downloads overall for the "complete experience" meaning more donation points for the author.
