I'm genuinely this desperate. I'm a working dad going to college, I just started double classes, and I've just spent all of my free time for the last 4 days trying to figure out how to get modded Skyrim to run on my computer. I'm not good at this, nothing I do works, and all I want is to relax and do something fun for myself.

I'll PayPal the money, it's not much but it's literally twice what I paid for Skyrim itself. I'm just so desperate to have something comfortable and newish.

MO2 runs just fine for me. I don't actually use it for Skyrim — I do that all manually — but it worked for e.g. Fallout 4 without me doing anything special. I just ran its installer the same way I'd run skse64_loader.exe using the same prefix as the game.

    I had a little luck with that for fallout 4 but for some reason the text in mo2 was all so small I had to use screenshots and guesswork to navigate it and even then only half the mods worked.

    You can adjust the dpi setting in winecfg to fix the font size, but in recent beta versions of proton I find it necessary to set it back to the default (and restart wine) to actually play the game.

    There was one fairly popular fo4 mod that didn't work for me, but the only skyrim one I found that seemed to have a problem with linux was nemesis, and that has now been replaced with pandora. All the other thousand or so mods I tried (currently using 600 or so) seem to work about as well as they do for anyone else.
