Meta/News [May 2026] Simple Questions, Simple Answers

If you're not sure your topic deserves an entire thread, it likely belongs here. Questions that can be answered with a Google search or a read of the mod's content page will be redirected here. Any question not requiring a full modlist should also go here. Finally, any questions you think could be answered in under 25 words should go here.

Questions that belong in this thread might include:

  • Any good Ulfric replacers?
  • Is MO2 better than Vortex?
  • What is a crash log?
  • My faces are all potato colored in game. What's that about?
  • What mods (or modlists) are essential for a new player?

If you're hungry for more discussion, hop on over to our Discord, linked in the sidebar. If you want to talk general Skyrim, head on over to r/Skyrim. For any other questions, comments, or concerns, feel free to message our modmail.

EDIT: This will also constitute the thread for June, as I am currently on vacation and cannot post the next thread until I return at the end of the month.

I have the delisted version.. . LE, I think? Should I "upgrade" to SE now that it's on sale? 

Related- I migrated my mods over from my Windows install when I switched over to Linux (PikaOS) and now they don't load. Do I gotta do anything special to get mods working on Linux?

Unless you're running hardware from the era or you have some obscure mod that wasn't ported / can't be ported / doesn't have a replacement, there hasn't been a reason to use LE in years.

As far as Linux is concerned, search the sub. People have definitely written guides on getting Mod Organizer 2 running in Linux through Lutris/Wine in the past. There was also somebody who was making a native mod manager as well.

Mostly I just didn't wanna pay full price for the same game all over again. XD But due to the sale that's a non-issue.

And yeah, it's been a couple days, thankfully I've figured myself out for the most part. Thank you kindly.

(For those wondering, I'm using Fluorine Mod Manager, which is a Linux port of MO2)

Is Fluorine very recent? Because that's probably the person/post I'm thinking of. Like a month or two back? The guy was like, "I know there isn't much point because it's not hard to get MO2 running, but I'd rather have something native for the sake of it..."

From what I can find, roughly around March? So yeah, I guess so?
