Nexus Mods app improves file conflict management ready for Fallout 4 and Skyrim

The newer cross-platform Nexus Mods app is getting a lot closer to supporting games like Fallout 4 and Skyrim, with version 0.20.2 out now for testing.

Currently the app only has full support for Stardew Valley and Cyberpunk, with work ongoing towards Baldur's Gate 3, Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord, Skyrim and Fallout 4. They're building it up carefully, ensuring they have the features needed to future-proof it, and with Linux support it's going to be awesome for modders.

In this release they noted: "File conflicts—a common occurrence in modding games like Skyrim and Fallout 4—happen when multiple mods try to install different versions of the same file. With this release, we've added a new priority-based system that allows you to see and easily edit file conflict winners and losers using intuitive Drag & Drop controls. This gives you visual control over which mods and files take priority".

They've also added more context menus, fixed a corruption issue with downloads, fixed SMAPI (Stardew Valley) on Linux and fixed an exception that occurred when trying to open the logs folder from the App help menu.
