[SOLVED] I will pay you $20 to set up modded skyrim for me (lemmy.world)

I'm genuinely this desperate. I'm a working dad going to college, I just started double classes, and I've just spent all of my free time for the last 4 days trying to figure out how to get modded Skyrim to run on my computer. I'm not good at this, nothing I do works, and all I want is to relax and do something fun for myself.

I'll PayPal the money, it's not much but it's literally twice what I paid for Skyrim itself. I'm just so desperate to have something comfortable and newish.

For the sake of the community, I ask that whoever is the one to help to post the issue/fix if possible in case it helps others in the future.

I'd offer to help myself, but I've only modded Skyrim on Windows so far. Some people on here have done it in Linux and thus are more qualified

If I get it working I'll even make the tutorial myself. I just want a chance to play.

If you want, I looked up a step-by-step Youtube tutorial on how to set up Mod Organizer on Linux after I saw your post. Here's the link: https://youtu.be/OEbZ3hNcoRg

Also, top comment mentions that the process is different if Steam and Proton Tricks are installed as Flatpaks. Apparently you'll then need to give them permission to access the MO2 folder.

Hope this helps, sorry I can't do more at the moment
