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.

    Bro buy a premium nexus mods account and then install vortex from Nexus mods and simply go to https://www.nexusmods.com/games/skyrimspecialedition/collections and basically one click install a thousand mods. Choose a collection that has the highest success rate install and just follow the very few directions you’ll need to do (like launch Skyrim once or something after new install)

      Does that work in Linux now? Last I heard they were working on a Linux version but it was a limited roll out.

      Unfortunately, vortex runs on Linux about as well as unpatched Skyrim runs on on Linux. I’ve tried using the api link from nexus to install mods both with limo and with umo for OpenMW and as far as I can figure, the sandboxing on bazzite stops them from being able to recieve the links.

        Ive only ever used Vortex and it works great for me, even on the steam deck.

        I used ProtonUpQT (its on the flatpak store) to install SteamTinkerLaunch.

        For the game you want to run, you set the compatibility tool to SteamTinkerLaunch (same menu you would use to select the proton version).

        Then in your steam library you create a category called Vortex and add whatever games you want running vortex to it.

        Then when you launch the game you get a SteamTinkerLaunch menu where you can change loads of settings and access Vortex Mod Manager.

        Ive played Fallout 4 (should be similar situation to Skyrim) like this since the Steam Deck came out and the only issue i came across is when i had a game on the SD card Vortex couldnt find the game location so i had to create some symlinks.

        This method also worked for me when playing Starfield.

        You can install mods by copying the Nexus mods link into Vortex and they also auto update.

        I’m on bazzite and use limo to mod x4. It handles the uri from nexus no problem. Have you looked at the limo wiki? It specifically covers skyrim.
