How feasible would starfield mods be on Linux? (lemmy.ml)

I'm out of the loop on modding Bethesda games like Fallout and Elder Scrolls but I've seen some posts here and there about using Nexus games.

Assuming Starfield is using the same engine, system, structure, etc, how possible do you think it would be to install mods? I'm going to be purchasing on Steam and running the game through Proton on Arch. Thanks.

Honestly, if the culture around modding the game develops around one specific modding tool and injector, it's always a major headache for platforms like Linux.

If instead they follow the much better and modern approach of quite simply posting the mod and dependencies on Nexus Mods, modding on Linux is no different than Windows.

Minecraft modding is a shining example of how to do it imo, install modloader > dump mods in mods folder

I suppose it has the advantage of being java though
