I continue to be very excited about improvements to the cross-platform open source Nexus Mods app, to finally firmly plug the modding hole on Linux platforms including the Steam Deck.

    Hopefully somebody forks it for platforms such as DEG. Vortex is the only objectively good thing that Nexus has done in recent years. Otherwise, I can’t stand those guys. From banning people for asking for a very simple feature that they end up adding a month later, to their more recent issues with censorship, they are not a good platform. The problem is that they’re very easy to use, which makes it harder to move away.

      Ootl, but censorship? Are you referring to the removal of the anti pronoun mod, or is there something I missed?

        That’s one of many. They claim “no political mods” but only actually take action against political mods of a certain worldview unless there’s enough backlash. I’m down for the “no political mods” policy but it has to be enforced equally.

            Are you genuinely asking or trying to start an argument? I only ask because that has been a common experience for me on the Fediverse.

              Yeah weird how that keeps happening to you huh? Must be all the other people here that are wrong.

              Also, never mind, scrolling through your profile gave me all the answer I needed.

                More like the Fediverse at large has an issue with people who feel the need to make everything political and if you disagree, they act as if you’re worse than combover mustache man.

                I’m here to chat about stuff I like but sadly, I still run into BS politics.

      It does not.

      Currently supports Stardew Valley.

      Next in their roadmap is Cyberpunk 2077, Mount & Blade 2, and Baldurs Gate 3.

        Oo, excited for BG3. Been wanting mods for my second playthru and wasn’t excited for the prospect of doing that manually.

      ModOrganizer works out of the box. I haven’t tried installing lists on linux itself on v4 of Wabbajack yet, however if you install one on Windows, and then move it to your Deck, everything i’ve thrown at it so far has worked as intended

          I run it through the same proton prefix as the game that’s being modded

            Hmm I was under the impression, that steam doesn’t create separate prefixes like e.g. Lutris does… maybe I was wrong?

              Oh it absolutely does. Anything you run through steamplay gets a folder in ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/ or equivalent for your installation
