Texture and model mods on Steam Deck

[Compy439]

I managed to get Vortex installed on my Deck using https://github.com/pikdum/steam-deck
I can get weapon and companion mods to work just fine but for some reason when I want to tweak the models and textures to be a bit more appealing those mods don't work through Vortex for me. I located the Prefix folder but its missing the MYDOCUMENTS/Data folder to drop texture mods in manually. Would appreciate some help!

it's not my documents/my games/Fallout3/ that's just for configs saves and logs, all mods go under Data/ in the main game directory...

but you really shouldn't; and they likely don't exist there because vortex isn't running currently, as vortex uses a virtual filesystem overlay, so nothing actually gets installed under Data/ but mapped there by the vfs image within proton, if you really want to do it manually, have vortex open a shell or file manager, with this game selected, which will mount the vfs into this game's compatdata proton bottle, then you can plop them in manually. (note it will be a windows shell, not a linux shell, you're in proton now)

you really should read up on using vortex correctly, though, especially the "load after" rules; you want these later than your other stuff. did you use LOOT to sort your load order (within vortex?) it can handle basic stuff like this.
