Wrye Bash is a mod management utility for games based on Bethesda's Creation Engine, with a rich set of features. This is a fork of the Wrye Bash related code from the SVN 3177 trunk revision. We are in the process of refactoring the code to eventually support more games, offering the same feature set for all of them. Please see our Contributing.md if interested in contributing.

Here is a list of supported games with the minimal patch version that Bash was tested on (previous versions or latest versions may or may not work):

• Enderal (patch 1.6.4.0)
• Enderal: Special Edition (patch 2.0.12.4)
• Fallout 3 (patch 1.7.0.3)
• Fallout 4 (patch 1.10.163.0)
• Fallout 4 VR (patch 1.2.72.0)
• Fallout New Vegas (patch 1.4.0.525)
• Morrowind (very early support, patch 1.6.1820.0)
• Nehrim (patch 2.0.2.4)
• Oblivion (patch 1.2.0.416)
• Skyrim (patch 1.9.36.0)
• Skyrim Special Edition (patch 1.6.1130.0)
• Skyrim VR (patch 1.4.15.0)
• Starfield (patch 1.7.23.0)

• GitHub

• AUR

Docs are included in the download, but we are also setting them up online here.

• Short version: just use the installer, and install everything to their default locations.
• Long version: see the General Readme for information, and the Advanced Readme for even more details.

To run Wrye Bash from the latest dev code (download from here) you need:

• A game to manage from the supported games.
• Python 3.12 64-bit (latest 3.12 is recommended)

NB: the 64-bit version is required. 32-bit operating systems are no longer supported.

Once you have those, install the required packages by running:

py -3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt

Note: you will have to use a more specific version for py -3 if you have multiple versions of Python 3 installed.

Refer to the readmes linked above for detailed instructions. In short:

1. Install one of the supported games (Oblivion, Skyrim, Fallout).
2. Install Python and plugins above.
3. Extract the downloaded Wrye Bash archive into your game folder.
4. Run Wrye Bash by double-clicking "Wrye Bash Launcher.pyw" in the new Mopy folder.

Since 306, Wrye Bash runs on WINE - with some hiccups. Please see our wiki article for a detailed guide.
