Looking for SkyrimSE Steam Deck Modding help

BeardedWonder02@lemmy.world to Steam Deck@sopuli.xyz – 19 points –

Hey all! So I've been dealing with some issues recently in regards to modding SkyrimSE on my SD. I have tried a lot of things, and recently my best option has stopped working for some reason...

I have been using SteamTinkerLaunch for launching Vortex, but all of a sudden when I hit start, it just hangs and doesn't do anything. I can't seem to figure out why that is... I have resorted to manually installing mods, but it feels a bit hacky and I can't install FOMODs from the looks of it.

My question is this: does anyone have a good and currently working solution to modding SkyrimSE? I have tried that one MO2 script that I see floating around all the time, and obviously the STL Vortex, but I just need something that is working on my SD that isn't an ancient solution that has a form post speculating it working from when the SD came out.

Thanks for any help you guys can give!

have you tried installing mo2 through steamtinkerlaunch?

Honestly, no I have not. Does it work well?

it works for me on Manjaro.

Huh, ok, I'll try that out later and update y'all. Thanks for the advice!

Still had some problems with it since I would have it work on desktop, but not gamemode...

https://github.com/sonic2kk/steamtinkerlaunch/wiki/Steam-Deck#usage Did you enable the Steam Tinker Launch compatibility tool?

or use this custom launch command: steamtinkerlaunch %command%

Yeah, I did that but then I did the non STL which still launched SKSE, but not the mods. Do I still need STL and MO2?
