With the remaster coming out I started looking into the original game since I had never played it. I found that a mod, NorthernUI, exists that adds controller support to the game. So I decided to install a GOG copy of the game on the Steam Deck.
I tried to get Mod Organizer to work but failed. But it turns out there is a native Linux mod manager called Limo Mod Manager that can work with Skyrim. The whole process of getting it work kept me up til 2AM.
So I have the original game installed now with NorthernUI and Unofficial X Patches for bugfixes.
Anyone has suggestions for more QoL mods that can smooth out the jankiness? Thanks.

Maybe look at wabbajack based lists? Easy to install and you don’t have to do much.

this seems like a good collection filled with the necessary stuff, just go through the list and download what you want, the collection auto install doesnt work without vortex but collections are still the easy way to have a curated checklist.
