After some hours of fight, I finally managed to get modding working, and while appreciated, the documentation here seems out of date and rather misleading:
-
The Linux page does not even mention Mod Organizer 2, which is probably the best modding approach on Linux. https://github.com/Furglitch/modorganizer2-linux-installer makes installing Mod Organizer 2 for Cyberpunk quite straightforward.
-
The general Mod Organizer 2 instructions insist that you should disable "Root Builder". Not sure if this is outdated or something, but trying to follow those guidelines prevented me from getting things to work. The latest version of Mod Organizer 2 includes a Python script for Cyberpunk that seems to move the files of certain mods (e.g. CET) to a root folder, and if you disable the Root Builder, that folder is installed as a folder named "root" instead of its content being installed on the game root folder. So, at least for me, the instructions should have told me to make sure to install at least that plugin and make sure it is enabled.
If you are fine with both changes, I can try to find some time to prepare a PR myself. In any case, I hope this issue itself can help other Linux or Steam Deck users out there.
