As the title says, for a brief time a while ago I modded valheim and found r2modman and felt it was one of if not the best experience I’ve had modding games, it was especially sweet because I could mod the game with my friend who’s on windows and the process was the exact same so helping them was no issue.
I wanted to know what other similar software there is for modding on linux, since the game collection it works on is kinda limited (I only own a few of those) and whenever I want to mod a particular game I end up overwhelmed with steps and options.
To avoid just a list of every linux mod manager under the sun, most of the experience modding with r2modman is: picking a game > hitting download > play There’s usually not much you have to do for a specific mod to work besides adding it to the list, and it keeps the game files squeaky clean.
Limo is fairly staight forward, and supports the NexusMods API. It autodetects Steam games and needs a little manual set up for non Steam games. Available on Flathub.
Someone mentioned it here and I’ve been trying it; so far fairly good I think.
I wouldn’t call using Limo straightforward, and the project hasn’t had a commit in eleven months (it’s still on Qt5…).
Honestly I would rather manage my mods with a bunch of shell scripts that are just repeated lines of
ln -sfn. Those can’t do bulk downloads from Nexusmods, but I couldn’t get Limo to do that either…Thank you for pointing it out, Limo looks awesome!
