perforöance is worsr thsm I would lşke aswell but it “works” modded fallout 4 works better

I have just recently reinstalled and remodded skyrim with MO2! I chose MO2 specifically because it has a linux version which I downloaded off the github.

I have found that MO2 has a lot of functionality built in that just isn’t well explained in the tutorial. and it can be quite daunting to start.

For one, you don’t have to worry about skse. it comes with that when you choose Skyrim as the instance of MO2 you want to make. MO2 will then launch every time you launch Skyrim. And once it launches, you have all the options!

From MO2, you can choose to run different versions of skyrim. it can run the vanilla PC launcher for you if you want to manually set your graphics settings.

It can launch directly with SKSE, which is what you’ll need for most mods. (if you’re playing modded skyrim, you’ll likely be launching from here most times unless there’s specific settings in the basic launcher you want to change)

It also comes with LOOT (which is a load order optimizer) already preinstalled. You just have to click the button to have it sort your load order for you. The load order is usually decent enough for most modlists (depending on size) but there are many guides to load orders for skyrim if you’re interested in changing things around to be better optimized for your needs.

my advice is honestly sit down and take some time to kinda go over where everything is. Before MO2 I was a vortex person. I am considering never going back.

if you have any specific questions, I can maybe try to help.

It started with me manually downloading a mod and shoving the files into the Steam game directly.

Then I installed the windows version of Nexus Mods Manager using Wine and pointed it to the Skyrim in Linux Steam that runs as a Flatpak.

Yes, it is a dumb hack. But it works.

I have done things to this game that morals prohibit.

Like copying a whole Skyrim main folder modded with Nexus Mod Manager from a laptop to a steam deck and “managing” this with MO2. Bonus obscenity: couldn’t run the new Skyrim version instalmed on Steam Deck with the old SKSE from the laptop install, so I had to update SKSE, break compatibility with the load order, and then manualy find which of the mods to update for it to run. Do note that I have 250 mods and an historic 70+ level build on this instance.

I guess what I am saying is “you can go pretty wild with this”. Start anywhere, end up anywhere, mod the shit out if it.

I would advise on following one of the “FULL OVERHAUL NOTHING UNTOUCHED” modding guide, just because why not. Most of them have some form of attention to performance that will help with your issue.

I followed lexy’s : https://lexyslotd.com/

May I ask what kind of performance problem you have on what hardware ?

about to chime in with my experience

realise this is a linux instance

start crying in windows user
