Hoolamike is here to ease the process of installing Wabbajack modlists on Linux without the hassle of virtual machines or Wine. This project ports the functionality on a per-modlist basis, enabling seamless integration with your favorite games. 🌟
- Tuxborn: A Wabbajack Modlist for Skyrim SE designed with the Steam Deck in mind 🐉
- Wasteland Reborn: modlist that aims to create a fully featured, lore friendly rebuild of Fallout 4 from the ground up. ☢️

Wabbajack modlist installation logic is being slowly ported from C# to Rust, while keeping linux support constantly in mind. 🛠️
Replacing Wabbajack, modlist creation - this project focuses only on installation of modlists keeping them compatible with Wabbajack.
A huge shoutout to these amazing libraries that make Hoolamike possible:
- bsa-rs 🗂️: Efficient handling of BSA archives.
- image_dds 🖼️: Processing DDS image formats with style.
Make sure to ⭐ star their repositories — their work is the backbone of this project!
- 🐧 Linux Native: Say goodbye to VMs or Wine setup, enjoy quick and streamlined installation process.
- ⚡ Optimized for Performance: Parallelization of installation steps is one of the main focuses. As much as possible is performed in a multithreaded fashion to lower the wait time.
- 📚 Per-Modlist Focus: Tailored support for specific modlists.
- Install the Rust toolchain: Visit https://rustup.rs/ to install Rust.
- Clone the Hoolamike repository: Run git clone https://github.com/Niedzwiedzw/hoolamike to download the project files.
- Switch to the nightly Rust compiler: Run rustup default nightly to set the nightly version as default. This step is required because Hoolamike uses features available only in the nightly version of Rust.
- Install Hoolamike using Cargo: Navigate to the repository and execute
cargo install --path crates/hoolamike. - Verify the installation: Once installed, the binary will typically be located in ~/.cargo/bin/. Ensure the binary is in your system's $PATH, or reference it directly by running ~/.cargo/bin/hoolamike. You should see a help message indicating successful installation.
- Configure Hoolamike: Run hoolamike print-default-config > hoolamike.yaml to generate a default configuration file. Edit hoolamike.yaml in a text editor. Add your Nexus API key, which you can obtain from https://next.nexusmods.com/settings/api-keys. Specify game directories, such as:
games:
Fallout4:
root_directory: "/path/to/Fallout 4/"
- Obtain the required modlist file: Download the .wabbajack file for your desired modlist. You might need to check the Wabbajack community for the appropriate link. Place this file in the same directory as hoolamike.yaml.
- Update the configuration: In hoolamike.yaml, set the path to the downloaded .wabbajack file under installation.wabbajack_file_path.
- Install the modlist: Run
hoolamike install.
If you face any issues, consult the Hoolamike GitHub repository for further guidance or file a support ticket.
