[SOLVED] I will pay you $20 to set up modded skyrim for me (lemmy.world)

I'm genuinely this desperate. I'm a working dad going to college, I just started double classes, and I've just spent all of my free time for the last 4 days trying to figure out how to get modded Skyrim to run on my computer. I'm not good at this, nothing I do works, and all I want is to relax and do something fun for myself.

I'll PayPal the money, it's not much but it's literally twice what I paid for Skyrim itself. I'm just so desperate to have something comfortable and newish.

Bro buy a premium nexus mods account and then install vortex from Nexus mods and simply go to https://www.nexusmods.com/games/skyrimspecialedition/collections and basically one click install a thousand mods. Choose a collection that has the highest success rate install and just follow the very few directions you'll need to do (like launch Skyrim once or something after new install)

Unfortunately, vortex runs on Linux about as well as unpatched Skyrim runs on on Linux. I've tried using the api link from nexus to install mods both with limo and with umo for OpenMW and as far as I can figure, the sandboxing on bazzite stops them from being able to recieve the links.

I'm on bazzite and use limo to mod x4. It handles the uri from nexus no problem. Have you looked at the limo wiki? It specifically covers skyrim.

At this point I have it memorized. Honestly I love limo, of really feels like it's exactly what modding needs. Unfortunately, while everything looks right in the files, deployers are all going where they are supposed to and the load order is stacked in the best way I can find info on, the game still crashes at the cart ride with anything more than the unofficial patch.
