Someone mentioned this on a the recent discussions about Nexus Mods cancelling their Linux mod loader, and after trying it out I thought it was worth making a dedicated post about it.

I'd be interested to see how this compares to MO2

    I've used it to run a modest list of Skyrim mods (100ish), and it worked pretty well (although Requiem was very difficult, and I ended up not being able to fully install it). There is a bit of a learning curve, and the wiki provides a decent introduction. It doesn't cover every single use case but is enough to get up and running. No virtual file system like MO2. It makes a directory for all installed mod files, then drops those into your game files when the mods are deployed through Limo.

    What's this about nexus having cancelled their Linux mod loader? Have they changed their plans regarding the nexus mods app?

    Edit: Just saw that they're retiring the nexus mods app to go back to working on vortex. whyyyyyyyy

    In case anyone wants it, you can get Vortex working with WINE games. It's a pain, and it does have issues, but it can be done. I've only ever seen people say it can't work, but you can run it under the same prefix as the game and have it function 95% of the way fine. There will be some warnings that won't go away though.

    SnazzyPanda seems to have taken over the mantle. See here.

    There is also Jackify. It's a tool to download, install and configure Wabbajack modlists. Wabbajack modlists uses Mod Organizer 2 as the mod manager, which is a Windows app, but works well enough under Linux.

    I love when sparklejunkies equate "low churn" with "dead".

    Do we have anything yet other than vortex that can handle nexus mods collections?
