    The Deck is just a handheld Linux computer. You’ll have to install mods manually, as Nexus doesn’t have a Linux application yet (it’s coming, slowly), but it shouldn’t be too hard. You’ll have to exit Big Picture Mode and then you’ll be on the Linux desktop and can do all the things a Linux computer can.

    There should be somewhere that tells you how to install mods manually. It’s probably a folder somewhere that you just extract the files into.

      There you go, thats the issue. Either mods work great through steamworkshop, or you pray that they’ve created an easy installer.

      I’m all for manually adding mods, been doing it since 2012. However, I got a steam deck explicitly so I’d never need a keyboard and mouse again. So far, I haven’t needed either.

      When London came out, it required 23+ steps with a lot of terminal commands, fuck all that is all I’m saying.

        Most games don’t support the Steam workshop for modding, nor should they feel the need. Sure, it’s nice to have, but it has a lot of limitations. If you don’t want to deal with the very minimal effort to manually move some files around, that’s on you. No one is forcing you to.

        I assume FO London is particularly bad because Bethesda fucked up the game with the update after the show came out, just before London released. I think it’s fairly easy to fix, but you do have to do something for yourself instead of expecting others to do it for you. Again, you can choose to be lazy, but you can’t always get your way if you are. It’s your choice.

          You are entirely missing my point. Every other game I play, including fallout have easy to install mods. I was simply curious if London was the same way.

          I never asked you to do it for me. So if you can’t answer the question, kindly stop messaging.
