The main features of Moddy include the following:

• Mod multiple games
• Installing mods from archives
• Toggling installed mods

• Deploying mods with OverlayFS

Installation

See Building from source

Building from source

Dependencies

• Flatpak
• blueprint-compiler v0.6.0
• NodeJS
• Yarn
• gnome-autoar 0.4.3

Building

git clone --recursive https://github.com/CharlieQLe/Moddy.git
cd Moddy/
flatpak install --user flathub org.gnome.Platform//43 org.gnome.Sdk//43 org.freedesktop.Sdk.Extension.node18//22.08 -y
flatpak-builder --force-clean --install --user -y builddir io.github.charlieqle.Moddy.json

Caveats

• Flatpak users, add your Steam library locations to your Flatpak overrides
• This has only been tested on the following distributions:
  • Fedora Silverblue 37
• If the game directory is located within /run/ on trying to add a game, then replace the text with the game's real directory! Otherwise, deploying mods will not work!
• This application breaks the Flatpak sandbox! In order to deploy mods, flatpak-spawn --host needs to be called! This breaks the sandbox, so use at your own risk!

Future

• Allow reordering mods
• Allow deleting configurations
• Launch games directly
• NexusMods download support
• Bethesda game support (Skyrim, Fallout, etc.)
• CLI arguments to deploy mods, launch a game, then purge mods once the game is closed
