Mod Organizer 2 In Linux - It WORKS!

[zixi]

I'd confirm that it does work! If it fails then just check that you've installed everything it needs. Then try again. rockerbacon gives very clear instructions but it's easy to overlook something... 

If it doesn't work then come back ! If it does work then please come back so we can congratulate you!  And other people can see that it does really, really work...

For skyrim LE I didn't get TES5Edit to show all plugins. It just starts with a not supported error/warning message.

 

Wrye bash works pretty much out of the box.

MO2's nxm linker seems to work, but it's really slow.

So how to DL from nxm links - it doesnt work for me

(very late, but...)

So far, I've just downloaded manually, and moved the files from my ~/Downloads/ folder to MO's downloads folder for that game.  Then right-click > Query Info on it in MO's Downloads tab, so it gets the right metadata from Nexus.

I have yet to find a single Mod manager that works under Linux.  I'm not sure that it is possible to run mod managers at this moment, but I'm hopeful the next generation of the Nexus manager will be the very first one that can work!

I've been following the instructions to a T as possible, but for some reason when i try to open my fallout 4 game, the game just won't play. i go on my steam library, hit play, it begins to start up but then just stops and turns back into a play button. i have tried proton 9 and GE proton9 22, I've cleared and deleted prefixes in any steam library folder i can find to try again, reinstall the MO2 for linux again and again, and it just doesn't work. i don't know what I'm doing wrong here. I'm reading the instructions, I'm watching a video.

My only guess at this point is my steam can't see MO2 and my Mo2 can't see steam because I can get it to run on protontricks just fine, but it can't find the steam .exe, and steam just doesn't want to start up fallout 4 if the modorganizer2 folder is in the fallout 4 folder. Plus, to confound things for myself more, the GitHub of MO2 for linux archived the issues pages as of the Jan 14th as of today before i could even ask there for help or advice.

Update: I think i figured it out. i think there was a pathing issue with where i installed Mo2 and where my steam and fallout 4 files are located. (for reference, i have steam on a m2 SSD but i got steam installed on a 2.5" SSD card mounted as a alternative storage space for bigger games. my guess is Mo2 wasn't about to see Fallout 4 or Steam couldn't see MO2 and just didn't start Fallout 4.
