How do you install mods for Skyrim Special Edition? - Lemmy NSFW

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. Any advice?

Also, MO2 seems to work by replacing SkyrimSELauncher.exe with I guess the mod menu. Even if this worked on my machine, how would you get SKSE to work? You have to replace SkyrimSELauncher.exe with the SKSE executable to get it to run…

Add SKSE manually, add it as an executable option in MO2.

Mod organizer has options to select what exe to run, including SKSE. That can also be used to launch things like Nemesis to build animations.

Bethesda had absolutely nothing to do with “ruining skyrim mods”. Bethesda built the game for Windows, not Linux, it’s bot their fault the game has issues running mods on a platform it wasn’t intended to run on. This is like saying “fuck toyota” because your gasoline car won’t run on diesel.

As an aside, you absolutely can mod Skyrim on Linux, with USSEP and SKSE. With one quick google search I fou d multiple guides.
