Are there any other mod managers for linux that are as simple to use as r2modman? - Lemmy.World

As the title says, for a brief time a while ago I modded valheim and found r2modman and felt it was one of if not the best experience I’ve had modding games, it was especially sweet because I could mod the game with my friend who’s on windows and the process was the exact same so helping them was no issue. I wanted to know what other similar software there is for modding on linux, since the game collection it works on is kinda limited (I only own a few of those) and whenever I want to mod a particular game I end up overwhelmed with steps and options. To avoid just a list of every linux mod manager under the sun, most of the experience modding with r2modman is: picking a game > hitting download > play There’s usually not much you have to do for a specific mod to work besides adding it to the list, and it keeps the game files squeaky clean.

most mod managers are for a single game.

but i guess the actual answer would be steam workshop.

nah I suspect they want something like vortek where it checks the installed steam games, and pulls mod lists you can download/setup profiles for 1 click loading with mods… or load the games from steam directly without the mods preinstalled

if it’s not on r2modmanager, 9/10 times it’s on curse and the files are usually drag/drop into the game folder.

lots of mods are just drag/drop/play.

regardless, if you still want a manager for ease of whatever, perhaps Limo will be what you’re after and is used the nexus API to pull mods.

Limo - mod manager | LinuxMaster Club

Limo is a universal mod manager for games and other applications. Free and open source

Limo is fairly staight forward, and supports the NexusMods API. It autodetects Steam games and needs a little manual set up for non Steam games. Available on Flathub.

Someone mentioned it here and I’ve been trying it; so far fairly good I think.

Thank you for pointing it out, Limo looks awesome!

I wouldn’t call using Limo straightforward, and the project hasn’t had a commit in eleven months (it’s still on Qt5…).

Honestly I would rather manage my mods with a bunch of shell scripts that are just repeated lines of ln -sfn. Those can’t do bulk downloads from Nexusmods, but I couldn’t get Limo to do that either…

Prism makes minecraft modding a breeze on both linux and windows.
I had a very pleasant experience with the NexusModsApp, but so far it only supports Cyberpunk 2077 and stardew valley. For Cyberpunk it worked flawless though.
