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

Also, MO2 seems to work by replacing SkyrimSELauncher.exe with I guess the mod manager menu. Even if this actually worked on my machine, how would you get SKSE to work? You have to replace SkyrimSELauncher.exe with the SKSE executable to get it to run.

Fuck Bethesda for ruining Skyrim mods. Guess I'll have to stick with Starfield.

Add SKSE manually, add it as an executable option in MO2.

That's how I did it

Mod organizer has options to select what exe to run, including SKSE. That can also be used to launch things like Nemesis to build animations.
