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.

Has anyone here got Skyrim special edition mods working on Linux? How did you hack the mod loading and the load order to work without LOOT?

WHY THE FUCK DO THEY HAVE TO MAKE THINGS MORE COMPLICATED THAN DRAGGING AND DROPPING SOME FUCKING FILES

    Yeah there is no “plugins enabler” required, that’s just a starfield thing.

    If something is overwriting your plugins.txt it probably isn’t Skyrim. Maybe you’re launching something other than the actual game? Such as a mod organizer type of thing which isn’t working correctly. Skyrim itself definitely should not do that, nor should skse64_loader.exe which is what you’d want to run instead if you have skse (a very widely-used mod).
