If you're using steam, it's probably
steamapps/compatdata/489830/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/Skyrim Special Edition/Plugins.txt
. All the various tools will just try to modify that file for you.I have ~500 mods working well on linux just by manually installing them one at a time over a couple of years.
Plugins.txt gets overwritten each time the game starts. In Starfield you have to download this thing called plugins enabler and then you can add mods to the Plugins.txt file like that.
What did you do/what mods did you download in order to get the game to load mods based off of Plugins.txt instead of clearing the contents of Plugins.txt on each launch?
Also, I tried making the file not have write permissions and then I tried making it readonly by everyone except superuser. The game still somehow erased the contents of the file. The game is installed on an ext4 volume.
Yeah there is no "plugins enabler" required, that's just a starfield thing.
If something is overwriting your plugins.txt it probably isn't Skyrim. Maybe you're launching something other than the actual game? Such as a mod organizer type of thing which isn't working correctly. Skyrim itself definitely should not do that, nor should skse64_loader.exe which is what you'd want to run instead if you have skse (a very widely-used mod).
