Summary
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. Its 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 is available as a Flatpak, through the Arch User Repository or as a source build. The Flatpak release is officially supported, while the AUR version provides early access to some features. The Flatpak workflow currently supports Bethesda Steam games including Skyrim, Skyrim SE and Skyrim VR. Limo is licensed under GPL-3.0.
