installation failed -> missing game file Skyrim.ini

[Rotfuchs86]

Hi, I have installed a clean Skyrim VR game via Steam and have created a save game.

Afterwards I downloaded the "Skyrim VR Mad God Overhaul - NSFW".

At the beginning of the installation I get the error missing game file Skyrim.ini.

In the file:///D:/skyrim%20vr%20mad%20god%20overhaul%20Wabbajack/downloads/MissingManuals.html stands following:

"Missing Manual Downloads
Wabbajack was unable to download the following archives automatically. Please download them manually and place them in the downloads folder you chose during the install setup.

Skyrim.ini
Unknown download type

Primary Key (may not be helpful): GameFileSourceDownloader+State|SkyrimVR|1.4.15.0|skyrim.ini"

 

Skyrim is installed in the folder "D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\SkyrimVR". in this folder I have the Skyrim.ini file.

In the folder "C:\Users\hanne\Documents\My Games\Skyrim VR" there is only the file SkyrimPrefs.ini

I also copied the Skyrim.ini file to "C:\Users\hanne\Documents\My Games\Skyrim VR"  and reinstalled Skyrim VR.

What should I do?

Thanks in advance.

Set the game in the Steam Library to English.

Ah, classic Skyrim VR chaos! It’s like the game thinks Skyrim.ini is a myth—try sacrificing it to Wabbajack by copying it again but with extra enthusiasm!

Try running Skyrim VR once and creating a save—that usually generates the missing Skyrim.ini in Documents\My Games\Skyrim VR. If that doesn’t work, manually copy a Skyrim.ini from a fresh install or another setup and place it there. Also, double-check Wabbajack's install path and make sure it has proper permissions.
