2 full stucco walls and 2 half stucco walls.

How do I prep a rough stucco wall to put shiplap over it?

My screened in porch was an afterthought. The walls are the exterior of the house. How do I “cover” them? Do they need to be sanded smooth first? I’m open to other materials & solutions as well!

You find your wall studs and nail the boards to the studs with a nail gun. Walls do not have to be smooth. But since it is an outdoor space, I would think twice about putting shiplap or any type of wood that could warp. -

I would put furring strips or nailers as they are sometimes called up first. Then attach the shiplap to these. Paint the wall the same color as your shiplap, to hide any seams. -

IF YOU SCREW 1x3 OR 1x4'S TO THE WALL FIRST FOR THE BOARDS TO BE FASTENED TO YOU WILL HAVE A SOLID PROJECT. USE A STUD FINDER TO FIND THE ORIGINAL STUDS TO FASTEN THE STRAPPING TO.
