What it is

Limo is a free, open-source Linux application for managing game mods and plugins. It can import installed Steam games and handle specialized Steam game configurations. Built-in NexusMods access lets users check for updates, read mod information and download mods. Limo also works with LOOT to manage installed plugins, sort load order and check for plugin issues. For OpenMW, it manages plugin and archive files and supports LOOT. When deployed files conflict, the mod lower in the deployer's load order takes precedence. Limo automatically creates backups when target files are about to be overwritten. It can be installed as a Flatpak, through the Arch User Repository or from source. The Flatpak version is officially supported, while the AUR version offers early access to some features. The Flatpak workflow currently supports Bethesda Steam games such as Skyrim, Skyrim SE and Skyrim VR. Limo is licensed under GPL-3.0. Planned API support includes Thunderstore and Gamebanana.
