Game mods modify games in some way. A good source for mods is https://www.nexusmods.com. Sometimes they work in the same way as on Windows, but that's not always the case. Reshade is an example for a modding tool.

Mod Manager

You can try installing mod Managers from Lutris, if there is an install script. There are scripts (for older versions of) Vortex and NMM.

Otherwise, you can try installing them in the same wine prefix. You could do this for example the following way:

  • copy the executable into the wine prefix of your game: ~/Games/<your_game>/drive_c/users/<your_name>/Downloads/
  • In Lutris, click your game, then click on the arrow next to the wine bottle on the bottom of the window. Click Run EXE inside Wine prefix
  • Locate the exe, and run it.
  • If it works, you can locate the executable of the installed mod manager, and run it in this way. Otherwise, you can also create a new "game" in the same wine prefix and select the executable there. TODO: describe how.
