How do you install mods for Skyrim Special Edition? (lemmynsfw.com)

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

wrye bash is the closest to a working solution that I've found so far.

I can run the exe via wine. It runs and displays some Skyrim folder stuff but it also runs into file path errors. Some of the file paths contain 2 "/" characters which causes errors and the "Open Folder.." dialog is missing an "OK" button and can't be used to open or select anything.

I managed to solve the dependency issues of the python version but then it runs into other errors.

Both seem like dead ends to me. How did you get yours to work?

There shouldn't have been a dependency error with wrye bash it has all in one installer. I've not seen path problems, for the larger mod I let wrye bash unpackage/extract the mod before installing.
