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.

    It looks like Jackify is the answer you are looking for. It’s a tool for Linux users to install Wabbajack modlists and set up everything needed. Wabbajack is a Windows tool to install modlists for various games.

    You could install mods for Skyrim one by one, but that is going to take many, many hours and at least one whole bottle of painkillers for the headaches it causes. A better solution is to download an entire modlist, and Jackify looks to be one stop solution for that. Just install and run it, choose modlist, wait for it to download and install, and just sit back and enjoy. I recommend Nordic Souls, which is about 1300 or so mods. It is a great modlist, but be warned that it takes several minutes to launch Skyrim with that modlist. To install modlists, you will need a paid subscription for Nexus Mods.

    Also, make sure you have Anniversary Edition of Skyrim, or modding is going to be way more complicated.

    EDIT: I almost forgot to mention that, yes, I did set up and play modded Skyrim (Nordic Souls) under Linux. But, I did it the hard way by installing SteamTinkerLaunch, ModOrganizer2 and Wabbajack. Wabbajack, especially, was problematic under Linux. But, once everything was set up, it was smooth sailing.
