Hello, thinking of giving Skyrim a go on Linux through Proton, does anyone have a resource that helped with getting some mods going? Can a mod manager be used ?
I personally use MO2 to mod my Skyrim. This script makes getting it setup very easy. MO2 launches every time you press “Play” on Steam. https://github.com/rockerbacon/modorganizer2-linux-installer
I’m curious, is SKSE even supported through proton? Not sure why it wouldn’t but still curious.
I’ve played MO2 Skyrim through a Steam Link before, and for that to work you have to add MO2 with the launch options from the shortcuts you can make from MO2, this way Steam registers MO2 as a game.
I’d imagine you would need to do the same for proton to work, though that assumes it even runs.
I’ve been using SteamTinkerLauncher for ages with SSE and it works great. Allowing me to use MO2 seemless tbh, even Vortex works fine.
I’m not sure completely so someone will have to chime in with the specifics but I remember watching a streamer that played modded on Linux and I’m pretty sure that he ran mo2 through steam for the proton compatibility so that when he launched skse in mo2 it would launch under proton.
