As the title says, for a brief time a while ago I modded valheim and found r2modman and felt it was one of if not the best experience I’ve had modding games, it was especially sweet because I could mod the game with my friend who’s on windows and the process was the exact same so helping them was no issue.
I wanted to know what other similar software there is for modding on linux, since the game collection it works on is kinda limited (I only own a few of those) and whenever I want to mod a particular game I end up overwhelmed with steps and options.
To avoid just a list of every linux mod manager under the sun, most of the experience modding with r2modman is: picking a game > hitting download > play There’s usually not much you have to do for a specific mod to work besides adding it to the list, and it keeps the game files squeaky clean.
Prism make minecraft modding a breeze on both linux and windows.
most mod managers are for a single game.
but i guess the actual answer would be steam workshop.
nah I suspect they want something like vortek where it checks the installed steam games, and pulls mod lists you can download/setup profiles for 1 click loading with mods… or load the games from steam directly without the mods preinstalled
Limo is fairly staight forward, and supports the NexusMods API. It autodetects Steam games and needs a little manual set up for non Steam games. Available on Flathub.
Someone mentioned it here and I’ve been trying it; so far fairly good I think.
if it’s not on r2modmanager, 9/10 times it’s on curse and the files are usually drag/drop into the game folder.
lots of mods are just drag/drop/play.
regardless, if you still want a manager for ease of whatever, perhaps Limo will be what you’re after and is used the nexus API to pull mods.
