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

NexusMods is working on their new post-vortex mod client, which does have Linux support. It can be found here on github.
