No problem. The nice thing with this setup is that I can find a mod on my PC, send that tab to Firefox on my Deck, and I can actually use the mod manager download button on the site. I install the mod like normal, execute a shortcut to run the script to make it work (takes 3 seconds), switch back to gaming mode and just launch it like I normally would.
But MO2 is better from what I can tell, especially if you want to to install Wabbajack packs.
Oh and by the way! To save SSD space, delete the downloads folder from the MO2 directory once you’re don’t setting up the game, and you confirm it works. It’s just a backup copy of the mod zip files. There’s no real reason to keep them. I once installed a pack for Fallou4 that was 100GB and I realized that it was using double the storage space. The only downside is that if you fully uninstall a mod, you’ll need to redownload it. But you can still disable and enable mods even if you delete the downloads.

Thanks for the heads up with the downloads folder - that definitely would have caught me out.
