Fomod on MO2 on Steam Deck

[Raxior]

This is going to be several layers of convoluted but i am currently playing fnv on steam deck using MO2, i've got over a hundred mods working flawlessly but every time i try to install a .fomod of any moderate size i get an error. Help would be greatly appreciated

Someone eventually fixed the "first error about INI not found" to move it to the SD card and back to internal for some reason, it was fixed.
Apparently, NV didn't install DirectX when it was installed but Fo3 did. But if you have both games, definitely install both and NV will work.

MO2 supports New Vegas. MO2 installs FOMODS without any problem. To install FOMOD for Mod Organizer, activate whichever plugin you want, and make sure the FOMOD selections enable, prefer, and use any file, were set to true.

So the best fix is to install a game that installs the Direct X script since that was the only thing it was missing from running NV.

MO2 can sometimes fail garbage collection and you need to clear out its temp files.

This won't really work as steamdeck runs proton linux so i can't delete C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\NMMCLI\

It'll be under "steamapps/compatdata/22380/pfx/drive_c/" each game you run under proton has its own wine prefix. 22380 is fnv's steamapp id, if you enable url's on steam, or using a real web browser and then look up you can see it easily.

Agreed, it thought it was a PC error than Steam Deck.

OP, I suggest contacting Steam Support about this for help as no one here owns a Steam Deck.

Steam Support - Fallout: New Vegas - Gameplay or Technical Issues - I am having another problem - Contact Game Support. They might show you a proper way to have this resolved.

I also recommend reading previous posts on this forum to know which are the better marks.

I do own a Steam deck, actually. You can see that in some of the exclusive profile stuff I use.

Do you actively try to be wrong, or does it come naturally?

Aye, sorry I assumed it would be obvious you need to change the actual pathing to adjust for the Deck.

Unfortunately none of the suggested fixes worked if it helps the error message is "Installation Failed" "something went wrong while installing this mod"

Do any FOMODs work, and are you using the native Linux version of MO2?

You could try contacting MO2 on their social media. I overlooked they have one.

Hmm, no those instructions are for the native Linux version.

Can you let me know specifically what FOMOD isn't working for you? Wondering if it's one that just has issues in general
