  • I recently started using Amethyst Mod Manager with a collection of 2000 Skyrim mods. Its UI and operating procedures are a bit different to what I’ve used before, but since figuring out the basics, it has been working pretty well.

    • It feels a little bulky, but not outrageously so. I’m not sure how much of that is from being an AppImage, or whether AI-generated code has anything to do with it. Whatever the cause, it feels lighter than Mod Organizer 2 and every Electron app I’ve ever seen.
    • It offers three ways of installing mods: hard links, symlinks, and some kind of virtual filesystem. (Maybe overlayfs?) I like having the choice. I also like that installing with links means the mod manager only has to run when changing the mod setup (not when playing) which avoids game launch lag and leaves more RAM free for the game.
    • The developer seems pretty active and responsive.
