The team at Nexus Mods have released a new version of their open source and cross-platform Nexus Mods app, with Stardew Valley modding now considered close to being ready for everyone.
What’s the problem with Vortex (other than using Electron)? I’m using it for Fallout New Vegas on Linux desktop, and other than OS-specific issues (like having to fuck with the Wine config to make hardlink deployment work, or not being able to handle nxm links), I’ve really had no significant problems with it.
I wouldn’t necessarily call these “problems”. I just don’t like the how the underlying functionality is designed.
For some basic modding, and installing Nexus collections, it’s probably just fine, but for anything more advanced, It’s too rigid. It didn’t allow me the flexibility to do the things I wanted, and lacked plugin support for things I was already extensively using. My preference still lies with MO2, but of course, everyone is welcome to use the tools that work for them
