      I’ve never done it, but I assume Vortex Mod Manager can make a mod list for you that you can export.

      Word of warning though, there aren’t any good native Linux mod managers yet, though nexus is working on one. It’s possible to get Vortex to work, but it does take some effort. I don’t think there’s anything online on how to make it work (last I searched people just said it wouldn’t), but it can work. Message me if you need some help with that.

        Appreciate the offer. I followed some mod guide, that involved a TON of steps beyond just a mod manager. Goal was to modernize the game a little while keeping the content vanilla. Im assuming because it is such an old game lots of steps were required. It’s been a while since I did it.

        There are no linnux mod managers in general?

          Not for most games. Usually modding is just putting the files in the right folder, so it isn’t a big deal and you don’t need a manager, but it is good when you have 100+ mods.

          Again though, Vortex is usable with WINE, just not ideal. For anyone curious, you need to install it into the prefix with the game and, IIRC, create a virtual link to the mod directory, or something like that. It’s been a while since I’ve done it. It’s not that difficult but, from my experience, you should expect to have a warning or two that you just have to ignore.

          This is the new app that will be replacing Vortex, and it works on all platforms natively. It only officially supports a handful of games though, like Stardew Valley and Cyberpunk, for now.
