Nexus Mods with Amethyst-Mod-Manager (first steps starting guide)
submitted by thingsiplay to linux_gaming 35 points | 12 comments * Nexus Mods: www.nexusmods.com * Amethyst-Mod-Manager: github.com/ChrisDKN/Amethyst-Mod-Manager So I’m new to modding PC games. I wanted to recommend a way using a mod manager called Amethyst-Mod-Manager, which installs and manages game mods from Nexus Mods. It has native support for almost 100 games listed at github.com/ChrisDKN/Amethyst-Mod-Manager/wiki#sup… . But one can add manually more games to the list, but I didn’t test that out. Just tried out modding Stardew Valley for the first time, and plan on trying Cyberpunk 2077 too. My little documentary of the steps and what is needed: 1. Download and install the application. Choose from github.com/ChrisDKN/Amethyst-Mod-Manager#install options, I chose the AppImage for testing. If it doesn’t have self updating, I might go for Flatpak later. 2. To download and manage mods from the app, you need an account on Nexus Mods. There is a free tier (which I use) with limitations such as download speed, but it does not cost any money. A new account can be created at: users.nexusmods.com/register For me it took a few minutes before the verification email landed, so have this in mind. 3. If not already connected, in the Amythyst App go to Settings > Connections and click “Login via SSO”. You should be connected to Nexus Mods now and can start adding mods. 4. Add a game to the list. But first you need to download the game, in order it to be detected. I play on Steam and downloaded Stardew Valley in Steam (because its small, and I wanted to test it quickly). Then come back to the Amythist App and add the game, it should automatically find the location and configure it. 5. Then I clicked the “Wizard” button on the app and installed “Install SMAPI”. 6. On the main page of the App, click “Nexus” button, and choose “Open Nexus Mods”. This will open a new tab in the App, listing all mods for the game. Choose what you want to install, in my case I chose “SMAPI” again, the “Content Patcher” and “CJB Cheats Menu”. Click the “Install” button for the mod. 7. This should open the page in your external web browser (in my case Firefox) and ask you to open the link. Click it and select “Slow download” (if you are on free tier) and the download process should start. It will install the mod for you. It’s exciting to finally be able to mod PC games as well. And I hope this helps you figure this out, if you are new to this too. Especially so on Linux, where modding was always a bit problematic before. But this makes it so much easier for me to finally try it out. Have a nice day.

This fixed my issue (on Linux) with running Steam Big Picture mode, but I'd make one small adjustment: removing the -bigpicture flag from the command (Launcher option)

Ok, summary reordered to hopefully make this way clearer:

“Can you —” please assume the answer is ‘no, I cannot’.

> Do you think games will eventually be linux native rather than just allowing proton?

Lots already are :)

But 'industry' games are a big maybe imo, the same kinda maybe of "will windows be a Linux distro in the far future" […]

egs is planning native linux support; interesting that they're doing this now of all times

staying ahead of the curve, i imagine. fortnite support would ironically go a long way in the long term, if it happens; might start tipping some dominoes too in other companies

this isn't me "walking contradiction goomba"-ing myself there are actual individuals i've seen repeatedly do this and it's quite obnoxious. but then again, making using linux your whole personality and hanging around r/linux_gaming and whatnot will naturally make you an obnoxious person

Cuando esto llegue a Proton significará que moderar juegos en Linux será, probablemente, igual de fácil que en Windows, ahorrándote el follón del WINEDLLOVERRIDES
