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.

We can't predict how it will work on a new game, made a decade after their last one.

Except something as small as moving from v15.1 to v15.2 will get mods blocked in Minecraft. And regardless this isn't a good reason to block user's ability to add in mods. Modders are smart enough to realize a mod that hasn't been updated in 5+ game versions probably

Also, said communities like the tools because they save time on a lot of steps such as checking for updates and dependencies, optimizing load orders, profiles for mod lists and save files, etc.

I don't see how Minecraft modding is relevant to my comment, but ok.
