# Using Third-Party Mod Managers with Steam Games
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This is a guide on how to install and integrate mod managers (like Vortex, MO2, etc.) for games running in Proton.
|
||||||
|
Most of this stuff will break if you use Flatpak for any of the involved programs.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. Setup `Protontricks` & `Steam Metadata Editor`
|
||||||
|
2. Install your steam game & **launch it** once
|
||||||
|
3. Download your mod manager installer (Vortex, MO2 etc.)
|
||||||
|
4. Run the installer with `Protontricks Launcher`, select your game when prompted
|
||||||
|
5. Finish the installer, note the install path
|
||||||
|
6. Symlink mod manager's installation path inside prefix into the game's install path. For example:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
ln -s "/home/faith/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/611670/pfx/drive_c/Program Files/Black Tree Gaming Ltd/Vo
|
||||||
|
rtex/" "/home/faith/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/SkyrimVR/Vortex"
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
7. **Close Steam!** Then open Steam Metadata Editor
|
||||||
|
8. Find your game in the list, then click "Edit launch menu"
|
||||||
|
9. Click "Add New Entry"
|
||||||
|
10. In Description enter the display name (e.g. "Vortex Mod Manager")
|
||||||
|
11. Click on the "..." button in Executable field
|
||||||
|
12. File picker will appear which should be inside game's install directory. If it's not, try again or restart your computer or perform some ritual because it sometimes doesn't work properly.
|
||||||
|
13. Choose the mod manager executable (e.g. Vortex -> Vortex.exe)
|
||||||
|
14. Make sure a relative path appears in the Executable field! It won't work otherwise. (e.g. ("Vortex/Vortex.exe"))
|
||||||
|
15. Working directory should fill-in automatically
|
||||||
|
16. Close the modal window
|
||||||
|
17. Click "Save" button
|
||||||
|
18. Enjoy
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You have to install mod manager for each game seperately.
