Sense check: modding Skyrim SE on SteamDeck (lemmygrad.ml)

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.

Thanks so much for the swift reply, and the incredible info.

Yeah I've never modded games before (I'm techie, but not that into games) but there's a few tutorials knocking about which has made me confident that I can manage to wrap my head around it.

Thanks again this was incredibly useful :-)
