zixi Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Not sure if anyone else noticed this but the mods via Bethesda went offline a little while ago while they made alterations. I've just been there to see what is happening. There are now lots of pretty pictures which via my dial-up turn into loads of swishy things for ages until it catches up. It has this disconcerting habit of popping pictures in and out. I somehow managed to be popped back to Steam and the only way to escape was by quitting the game. However, it now knows the load order for each save and cheerfully offers to reuse that one or change it to something else... It didn't explains what its criteria might be... You can now click on a modder's name and it list their mods. Great! I've wanted that functionality for ages. However, the search mechanism is a couple of sandwiches short of a picnic still and finds all kinds of things. A search for Sidrat for example, found the Sidrat mods but other stuff which made no sense at all... maybe it was searching on the first three letters - who knows... It also now lists space used and space available but I haven't the faintest idea what this means. I feel a kind of strange despair with Bethesda mods. It really isn't their fault that I'm obsessed with Linux but as Vortex refuses to play with Linux at the moment and Mod Organizer has quit the building for the time being at least, discovering that Bethesda mods have also got it in for me is just a smidgen sad... And it's Christmas... I'm very close to modding manually... again... What's happened to usability?! Anyway, I'm curious as to how other people are getting on with it. If anyone cares to share their views; I'd like to hear them. It could be that my issues are caused by Linux in which case all is fine. I'll live with it. Oh, I forgot - there are many, many categories... quite clearly the designer(s) has/have never read a book about classification and the problems that brings...

AaronOfMpls Posted February 27, 2024 Share Posted February 27, 2024 Late, and maybe you found this out yourself already, but... rockerbacon's MO2 installer for Linux has been working seemingly perfectly for me since January. I now have Skyrim SE and LE both happily loading mods in their own MO2 installs via this route. (As well as Oblivion -- and maybe Fallout 3 and New Vegas someday too if I get around to them.) More details in my own threads in the SE and LE forums. (I put substantially the same info in both.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zixi Posted February 27, 2024 Author Share Posted February 27, 2024 @AaronOfMpls - Yes, I have indeed got rockerbacon's MO2 to play nicely with SkyrimSE on Linux again. On my new PC there were issues to start with any none of the mod organisers wanted to play - I had it running successfully on my old machine so it was slightly irksome to see it being grumpy and uncooperative. But now - once again - I'm using it with Oblivion without any problems and Morrowind as well though currently I'm using OpenMW which doesn't need a mod organizer. But thanks for saying! If anyone else arrives here then they can see that it does work just fine on Linux. So thank you for that too. When I first started gaming on Linux (quite a while go now) it felt very lonely as not many people seemed to be playing and modding on Linux but it's nice to see now that there are quite a lot of us! I'd hate for other people to shift to Linux and feel sad and alone! Happy Linux gaming to you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
