Releasing Born2BSalty's Infinity Orchestrator - Modlist Builder and One Click Auto Installer (Wabbajack equivalent)
Overview
Ever wished you could install a curated and stable modlist with one click? Are you a builder of epic experiences who always wanted to share your modlist with others? Well now you can. Born2BSalty's Infinity Orchestrator (BIO) is an automated mod installer that can install entire mod setups from 0 to 100% with a single click. It is also a powerful modlist builder that helps you build huge megamod setups for yourself or to share with others.
It's basically Wabbajack for IE games + a Project Infinity replacement, and it's available now.

Features
BIO allows you to Install, Create, Manage, and Share multiple modlists at the same time without touching your base game installation folders. There are four main sections of the app:
Home - Lets you view and manage all of your completed or in progress installations.
Install - Browse a Gallery of curated Modlists to install with one click or use as a base for your own setup.
BIO downloads any missing mod archives from official or your custom sources (the exact mod versions pinned in the share code), extracts all mods, sets up your installation directory, and runs through the entire installation from start to finish, fully hands off.
The installation is automated using Mod Installer by @dark0dave
This is where you go if you just want to get a full ready to play setup with minimal effort.
Want to customize a modlist before you install? Just select "Yes, review and modify" on the install screen. BIO takes you straight to the fully featured creation view with that modlist set up and ready to edit.
Import another modlist with a share code or .biolist file to install as is or customize.
Create - This is where you go to create a modlist for yourself or to share with others. Name your modlist, select a game type (EET, BGEE, BG2EE, or IWDEE), and choose an installation directory.
- Choose all the components you want (EET supported by showing you different tabs for BGEE and BG2EE) or Import existing WeiDU Logs
- Configure and download exact versions of mods that you want.
- Set up the exact per-component install order by drag-and-drop
- Pre-enter any prompt answers that mods may ask of you (e.g. "choose which portrait for this NPC" [1] or [2]).
- After everything is set up, you can install the whole modlist.
- Jump in and play or share your setup with others in just a few clicks.
Settings - This is where you can set up your app and all of its required settings and tools. At minimum, you need the actual game(s), WeiDU exe, and the Mod Installer exe.

Call to All Creators
We would love for the experts in the community to build and share their own modlists for others to enjoy. Please hop on the discord if you need help on creating a modlist. We've done a ton of work to try and make it so that your set up can be mirrored as closely as possible when someone else installs it. Of course, with things like SCS that create non-deterministic results or with non-github mods that don't reveal exact versions, it's harder to pin.
We'd love to see a modlist ecosystem grow for the IE games similar to what Wabbajack has done for Skyrim and Fallout!
