Has anyone modded Fallout 4 on Bazzite/Linux before? Need some help
Hey everyone so I am just hoping to find some other fallout enthusiasts who also have done The Midnight Ride guide on bazzite or any linux distro really. I am having some trouble getting it to work after downgrading the .exe file and I want to see if anyone else managed to get that guide to work. If not its cool but I am just curious.

I've done Viva New Vegas a couple of times and it seems to be the same types of steps
open ProtonPlus and download SteamTinkerLaunch (STL) as a compatibility tool
set that as the games compatibility tool under the game properties on Steam
then install MO2 through STL
you can make it a global install because it will be contained inside the game's prefix either way
oh run the game first with Proton to allow it to create the prefix and the .ini files
after you install MO2 just follow the guide downloading each mod one by one
if the guide asks to run an .exe, use STL menu to "one-time run"
more tips and help can be found in the ModdingLinked discord

There's also this way of installing MO2

it's what the guys at ModdingLinked recommend, but I've never done it this way yet
They arent a ton of help lol
I am in their server and their linux channel is dead as heck and the people in there just ignore me entirely
The steps are 100% the same, the problem is for me it keeps crashing after downgrading exe
then after I wipe all the files and reinstall with next gen f4se it will say I have the old f4se installed
I think I may need to wipe my whole pc again ðŸ˜
If you want to start clean again you just need to wipe the prefix (and any files you added to the game's folder)
verify game files
i..
didnt delete the prefix
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
oke
ill be back
im not pressed cuz i got NV to work and my wife and I will play for awhile
except VNV stupid LOD file stuff makes distant terrain glitchy af so i didnt do that right ig even though i followed the guide ðŸ˜
if you're feeling adventurous there's this way too

hrm
I was wondering how to get wabbajack on here
Even with wabbajack though you have to do stuff manually like change ini files
so it can be dangerous if you forgot
when I tried to use it there was just a blank screen when opening wabbajack
so I never got it to work lol
I prefer doing this way
whats stl?
SteamTinkerLaunch
Huh
how does that work
alr i am redownloading everything now. I got vortex installed with lutris so I may have to use that
it keeps saying mo2 is already installed for some reason
omg its finally letting me make a new instance
imma kiss you my brother in christ
it worked
wiping prefix let me boot up with NG f4se
WE BACK IN BUSINESS BABY
