Note
This is a fork with my own personal working modifications of the original project from Rockerbacon.
This project aims to make modding and playing Bethesda games on Linux as easy as possible. It does that by providing installers which automatically setup a working experience for the user.
The following is a small overview of the current state of each supported game:
| GAME | GAMEPLAY | SCRIPT EXTENDER | ENB |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fallout 3 | working | working | not tested |
| Fallout 4 | working | some plugins might not work | ENB v0.393 or older, disabling "EnablePostPassShader" might be necessary |
| Fallout New Vegas | fullscreen only | working | working |
| Morrowind | not tested | not tested | not tested |
| Oblivion | working | some plugins might require manual setup | not tested |
| Skyrim | working | working | working |
| Skyrim Special Edition | working | working | not tested |
| Starfield | working | working | not tested |
For known bugs and necessary workarounds, please refer to the issues page
Please, help to keep this table up to date by opening issues on any successes or problems you have experienced.
The Vortex installer was created before Wine had builtin support for Mod Organizer 2. It should only be used for games which Mod Organizer 2 does not support.
The Vortex installer does not apply any configurations to the games themselves. Make sure they are working, using Lutris or another method, before modding. GAMES SHOULD NOT BE LAUNCHED FROM WITHIN VORTEX.
The Vortex installer is not under active development/maintenance at the moment.
To install Vortex, you first need the vortex.yml installer from the latest release which included it.
You can use the installer with the following terminal command, remember to change the path if the file was downloaded to another location:
lutris -i "$HOME/Downloads/vortex.yml"Remember to follow all instructions during installation, some manual steps are required for Vortex to work properly.
After installing Vortex and following all instructions, manually add the game you want to mod.
- The old Skyrim Special Edition and SKSE64 installers have been deprecated as the Mod Organizer 2 installer replaces both
- Advanced instructions for using Vortex can be found on older versions of this README. They were removed since they are only applicable to games supported by the Mod Organizer 2 installer
