Comment on Nexus Mods with Amethyst-Mod-Manager (first steps starting guide)

I tried Limo maybe a year ago, but it was too basic and limiting for my use case. I think I also remember mod conflict resolution being difficult because of the way linux doesn’t consider “data” and “Data” to be the same folder like windows does. I’m currently using MO2, but it’s not natively supported and is pretty hacky and unstable. I have to periodically restart things like bodyslide and outfit studio or it gets unbearably laggy, and looking at file conflicts through MO2 sometimes freezes up my entire system, forcing me to restart.
I might need to check this out and see how it compares next time I decide to redo my entire skyrim modlist.

Hmm, the minimalism style might be preferred by some. This Amethyst tool seems pretty feature rich and complete, as far as I can tell (not that I have any experience with other tools so far). Just out of curiosity, I would like to know your opinion in case you try it out later. Would be interested into a follow up post, if I catch it.

Limo lacks key features like using symlinks instead of hsrdlinks

I would have thought hardlinks are preferred. I chose softlinks, as this was the default option, but wondered which is better.

Hardlinks double the file size while soflinks are just info that shows to source much more efficent
