What are the 2025 'best practices' for installing Morrowind/Oblivion/Skyrim mods when running those games via Steam/Proton? (lemmy.world)

I've been using Linux exclusively for over seven years now, including for gaming (believe it or not), but only now is the first time I've been in the mood to get mods for my TES games working.

Anyway, I searched how to do it and, as per usual when it comes to Linux, found a bunch of different instructions documents with a bunch of different approaches. Anybody have an opinionated recommendation for the one that's the most up-to-date/preferred by the community currently?

With Skyrim you just use Steam to install SKSE, then go to the workshop and download the mods you want. and Steam will do the rest for you.

There are mods not available on Steam.

True but to be honest. This is the maximum amount of work for installing mods I can fucked to do.

There are one-click modpack install options.

You're missing out greatly then because most good mods won't be on the workshop at all.
