Hello, thank you for taking the time to review this issue. I have successfully installed SKSE through the instructions on the wiki, but downloading other mods such as Skyui, armour mods, etc. are missing when launching the game. I am launching the game through the Limo launch button, and have assigned the SkSE launcher with the same name as the skyrim launcher as specified in the instructions. However, even when downloading through nexus or manually uploading the mod files, neither result in the mods activating upon launch.
this is the entire process of my installation and attempt to run:
2026-02-16 15:07:39 [Error]: Error parsing settings file in "/var/home/USERNAME/lmm_mods.json". Could not open plugins.txt! A backup of the last known good state, named ".lmm_mods.json.bak", exists in the same directory.

I am rather new to linux, and I am using the latest version of Bazzite. I would very much appreciate guidance on this matter. If any other information is required, please do not hesitate to request it.
