I’m out of the loop on modding Bethesda games like Fallout and Elder Scrolls but I’ve seen some posts here and there about using Nexus games.

Assuming Starfield is using the same engine, system, structure, etc, how possible do you think it would be to install mods? I’m going to be purchasing on Steam and running the game through Proton on Arch. Thanks.

Skyrim and Fallout mods work great! The mod organizer I use, MO2, is pretty laggy though. So I imagine it’ll be the same with starfield.

Yup. Playing fallout tale of two wastelands with multiple mod packs (over 100 mods) on Linux and using steamtinkerlaunch I had no issues.

I found running mo2 through the github script and then disregarding the recommended proton version for version 8 fixed all the GUI lag and then allowed me to launch most modding tools, as well as enabling better vfs support

What GitHub script are you referring to? I know of one but I definitely still have a super laggy mo2.

Mo2 is far from perfect but a hell of a lot easier to get working on Linux than vortex

I haven’t even tried with vortex tbh, I didn’t use it even on windows.

On windows it was pretty good if a little laggy (electron)

Oh it’s an electron app, that explains the hate.
