Seriously. I don’t know that it can be done on Linux. There was a user on protondb that claimed the game works “even with lots of mods” but there’s no way to message people on there and ask them how the fuck they got something to work.
Every single mod requires “Unnoffical Skyrim Special Edition Patch” just about. That mod has esps in it. Esp mods cannot be installed without LOOT which can’t run on Linux. Even if I add my mod load order in plugins.txt and write protect it, the game still somehow erases it and refused to load any mods.
Has anyone here got Skyrim special edition mods working on Linux? How did you hack the mod loading and the load order to work without LOOT?
WHY THE FUCK DO THEY HAVE TO MAKE THINGS MORE COMPLICATED THAN DRAGGING AND DROPPING SOME FUCKING FILES
Where can I find resources that may lead to figuring out how that stuff works? Where is the Skyrim built in mod loader? Google is no good these days. Every mod loader I’ve tried so far as borked my game to the point it won’t even launch. After trying flatpak loot I actually have to re-download, it borked things real good. Manual installation looks like the only way.
When manually installing mods, what do I have to do besides putting all the respective folders in the correct location? I think that’s the million dollar question here.
I have always used mod organizer since it has always worked perfectly so I never used the internal one more than just look at it once. You can access it by launching the game and the main menu should have the option to access it.
