About Limo

Limo is a mod manager developed primarily for Linux. It supports the Nexus Mods API and LOOT, can import installed games from Steam, and handles FOMOD installers. Multiple target directories per application are supported.

It adapts mod file names automatically to avoid case mismatch problems, sorts load order according to conflicts, and has an auto-tagging system for filtering mods. It suits Linux players modding games that usually rely on Windows-only managers.

  • FOMOD installer support
  • Handles file name case mismatches automatically
  • Imports installed Steam games

Limitations

  • Built primarily for Linux
  • Smaller project than established Windows mod managers
