Nexus Mods asking for Stardew Valley players to test new Mod Manager -- Linux Included

I tried to test it a few weeks ago but couldn’t get logged into it successfully. I’ll have to give it another try.

I hope this ends up being better, than what Vortex was built to be.

After hearing that one of the primary developers behind Mod Organizer got hired, i was super excited, but Vortex ended up being inferior in… practically every single way. I still wouldn’t recommend it even to brand new people, because the learning curve of MO is considerably lower, than the error fixing curve with the other

MO also works really nicely on linux too

Do versions newer than 2.4.4 work properly now? Last I checked (with proton 8.0) the only version that worked was 2.4.4. Newer versions would not load USVFS and your mods don’t get loaded.

I’ve personally had no issues with the latest version of MO2 distributed on nexus when modding skyrim

What Proton/Wine version did you test on?

Experimental

Ohh, I didn’t think of using that. Let me try it out and see if it works.

I use MO2 via SteamTinkerLaunch and IIRC it only installs version 2.4.4.

I definitely had some woes with it and at the moment you also have to source protontricks from a more up to date repo but there's also definitely a lot of room for improvements.

I hope this new app is going to be not as much of a confusing clusterfuck as Vortex. We really need a good native mod manager for Bethesda titles.
