Nexus Mods asking for Stardew Valley players to test new Mod Manager -- Linux Included

www.nexusmods.com Calling Stardew Valley testers - Nexus Mods app

Get ready, gamers! We're delighted to announce the alpha release of the Nexus Mods app - our next-generation mod manager. This is a very early build with limited features and only supports Starde...

It's in early stages, and only supports Stardew Valley right now. There's a Trello board for their roadmap with broad outlines.

I don't play Stardew or else I would participate myself. Hope this is of interest to some of y'all!

I hope this ends up being better, than what Vortex was built to be.

After hearing that one of the primary developers behind Mod Organizer got hired, i was super excited, but Vortex ended up being inferior in… practically every single way. I still wouldn’t recommend it even to brand new people, because the learning curve of MO is considerably lower, than the error fixing curve with the other
- MO also works really nicely on linux too
  
  Do versions newer than 2.4.4 work properly now? Last I checked (with proton 8.0) the only version that worked was 2.4.4. Newer versions would not load USVFS and your mods don't get loaded.
  
  https://github.com/rockerbacon/modorganizer2-linux-installer I definitely had some woes with it and at the moment you also have to source protontricks from a more up to date repo but there's also definitely a lot of room for improvements.
  
  I hope this new app is going to be not as much of a confusing clusterfuck as Vortex. We really need a good native mod manager for Bethesda titles.
I tried to test it a few weeks ago but couldn't get logged into it successfully. I'll have to give it another try.
