I’ve been using Linux exclusively for over seven years now, including for gaming (believe it or not), but only now is the first time I’ve been in the mood to get mods for my TES games working.
Anyway, I searched how to do it and, as per usual when it comes to Linux, found a bunch of different instructions documents with a bunch of different approaches. Anybody have an opinionated recommendation for the one that’s the most up-to-date/preferred by the community currently?
I can only speak for myself here, but you could give Limo a try. It’s Linux-native (so you don’t have to run it through Wine, unlike Vortex & Mod Organizer 2), the UI works well enough for my needs, and it has Nexus Mods support (you just give it an API key in the settings, so it can download mods for you). You’ll want to read the documentation for it though, to understand what “Data” and “Bin” mean when installing mods, deployment methods, LOOT integration, etc.
Interesting, and fairly new it seems. Vortex & MO2 kept breaking for me so I kinda stopped bothering with Bethesda games.
