Hi all,

I am looking to get a second-hand SteamDeck at some point in 2025, primarily to play Skyrim SE with mods. I’ve played a lot of Skyrim on console over the years and am at the point where I want to play with a few mods.

I’ve seen that it’s possible to mod Skyrim SE on a SteamDeck but I’m aware that there’s a limit to the hardware and wanted to sense check with the community in case anyone has had any experience. I’m not interested in graphical mods, mostly expanded content and some quality-of-life mods which help with RP’ing and some immersion.

My question: does anyone foresee any problem with any of these mods running on the Steam Deck?

  • Moonlight Tales
  • Frostfall and Campfire
  • Immersive Armors
  • Immersive Patrols
  • Cloaks of Skyrim
  • True Thane SE
  • Civil War overhaul or Open Civil War SSE
  • Vanity Mirror SE (or equivalent)
  • Multiple Followers

I’d also maybe be looking into a player home.

Any help appreciated, ta.

    If u werent able to getba mod organizer work and are really dsesperate, u can try using the default skyrim launcher if u have that, it has a built in load order organizer and u can use it to manage ur things as a last resort

      That’s really good to know, thank you!

      Just a question, since I am definitely not experienced with PC gaming. Is the default Skyrim launcher different to that found on Steam?
