Mod Organizer

What works

I got as far as the "select an instance" menu, then was greeted by this lovely error message when I selected Portable Mode:

What does not

The main window does not open after selecting an "instance" choice.

Workarounds

Additional Comments

Would LOVE for this to work, considering that it's literally the best mod manager for Windows and Linux/UNIX OSes have no mod managers...
The games themselves work perfectly fine with Wine solutions, the lack of MO2 is literally the only thing holding modded Bethesda games back on Linux.

This is required to make mods load properly ingame untill VFS works properly in wine. Thanks @Jarrard and @A.J. Venter for this workaround.

VFS script by A.J. Venter is needed for this workaround, get script from here.

1. Enable mods in Mod Organizer.
2. Close(or keep running) Mod Organizer and run "python movfs4l.py". This will create the VFS for game to recognize mods.
3. Launch game from skse_loader.exe directly. DON'T launch the game from MO.

Re-run script before game launch whenever new mods are enabled or disabled.

To stop VFS, run "python movfs4l.py UNVFS"

Enable subpixel font smoothing

• winetricks fontsmooth=rgb

Disable render extension for client side fonts

• Open wine regedit, and inside HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\X11 Driver make an entry for "ClientSideWithRender"="N"
