📋 About This Mod
Modlist Update Checker
Utility SKSE plugin for modlist authors that shows in-game notifications when a modlist update is available. The plugin performs a single check on the first cell load after every game launch. There are two mutually exclusive ways to retrieve version numbers:
- []LoadOrderLibrary
[
]Set bUseLoadOrderLibrary to true and bUseWJ to false[]Set Endpoint to the part of the URL after "/lists" in your LoadOrderLibrary URL
[]Set Version to the current version of your list. This is what the version fetched from LoadOrderLibrary will be compared against
- [
[]Set MachineURL to the full machine URL of your list (e.g.: LostOutpost/ro)
[]Set Version to the current version of your list. This is what the version fetched from Wabbajack will be compared against
Regardless of which method you use to fetch versions, make sure to always set the Name and Version ini settings. Two additional ini settings are provided: uNotificationDelay to control the delay after which the update notification appears (60s by default), and bAlwaysShowCurrentVersion to control whether a notification with the current version of the modlist is always shown, regardless of whether there is an update available. Note that you must update the Version in the ini every time you update your list, same as how many of you update the version in the top separator in MO2 before publishing a list update.
Two versioning formats are supported: major.minor.patch and major.minor.patch.hotfix. If only patch or hotfix differ and major/minor are equal, a "this update is save-safe" notification is displayed. If major or minor differ, a "this update requires a new save" notification is displayed.

Utility SKSE plugin for modlist authors that displays in-game notifications when a modlist update is available. With 283 endorsements and 268,202 downloads, it's a niche tool for modpack maintainers, not end users.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- High download count (268k) shows real demand from modlist authors
- Fills a specific gap: no more manual update checking for modpack maintainers
- Active development (updated Jan 2024) means it's likely compatible with current Skyrim versions
⚠️ Cons
- Niche audience: only useful if you're a modlist author, not a regular player
- Requires SKSE setup, which can be finicky for some users
- No detailed documentation in the description — you'll need to figure out integration yourself
For modlist authors who maintain Wabbajack or Nexus collections and want to notify users of updates in-game. Skip if you're just a player — this doesn't affect your game unless your modlist uses it.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure SKSE is installed and launched via skse64_loader.exe, not the default launcher, or the plugin won't load.
- If you're a modlist author, test the notification on a clean profile before shipping to users.
- Check the mod's forum posts for integration examples with Wabbajack or Nexus Collections.
