I'm really looking forward to the new mods app. It will make linux modding so much simpler.

Stardew Valley modding on Linux / Steam Deck takes a step with the Nexus Mods app
(www.gamingonlinux.com)
That is awesome news. I tried setting up Stardew Valley mods some time ago (probably for the big variant even) and it was an error prone hassle, though it mostly worked in the end.
The Fallout games you'd expect are in their roadmap, along with Skyrim and a few other Bethesda games, so that's pretty awesome. I still haven't played New Vegas even though I have it on Epic because modding is a headache on Linux right now and apparently not exactly optional for NV.
Just extract the required mods to the Mods folder?
Non technical people can find it difficult. Not that I endorse Nexus mods manager - it’s been purpose built enshitified but having more accessible modding is great for everybody
Even as a technical user it's just nice to have a descent mod manager.
I can download and extract the mod but checking them all to see if they have updates or what dependencies they have is a pain.
Then later when I want to change mods what does modClothingTex do? Is it required for a mod I like or is it something I tested and didn't like. A manager can make that so much better.
