About Tuxborn
Introducing Tuxborn, the first Wabbajack Modlist specifically designed from the ground up with the Steam Deck in mind, and inspired by the likes of Septimus, Redoran and Eldryn.
The Modlist is currently in an early Alpha Stage, so support will be minimal at best during this time while we develop the Modlist. If you wish to chat about Tuxborn, join the Aetherius Modding Discord and look for us in the #modlist-betas channel, or if you just want to chat about Wabbajack Modlists on Steam Deck/Linux in general, then drop by the #unofficial-linux-help channel of the Official Wabbajack Discord.
Tuxborn was created to fill a gap in the Wabbajack Modlist landscape – A Modlist that specifically targets the performance profile of the Valve Steam Deck. While there are other Wabbajack Modlists that can be made to run on Steam Deck (a lot of our inspiration comes from the likes of Septimus, Redoran and Eldryn), most lists usually require some modification to get the performance or compatibility desired on the Steam Deck – With Tuxborn, the aim is to have that out of the box, with no additional modifications necessary.
Tuxborn supports only the Anniversary Edition of Skyrim on Steam, updated to v1.6.1170. You must own Skyrim Anniversary Edition to run Tuxborn.
Features
Tuxborn balances enhanced visuals with smooth performance, ensuring an immersive experience optimized for the Steam Deck's screen and resolution. Our curated selection of mods seamlessly integrates high-quality content, all while maintaining a commitment to keeping frame rates smooth.
Using the brilliant Anvil Modlist as a base, Tuxborn creates a balance of game fixes and QoL improvements, a carefully selected mix of Enairim and Simonrim gameplay changes, and a performance-focused selection of graphical enhancements across the board.
As we work through the development of Tuxborn, future versions will include Additional or Overhauled Quest Content, NPC/Character Enhancements, Extra Weapons and Armours, and more!
The current Loadorder Library can be found here: Tuxborn LoadOrderLibrary.
Performance
As noted, this Modlist is designed for the performance profile of the Steam Deck, but that doesn’t mean it’s limited to that platform! It’s also a great, lightweight list for less powerful systems. There are three Performance Profiles included that you can choose from depending on your performance desire, or system used (if not the Steam Deck):
- Tuxborn – Deck: This profile aims for a locked 40FPS experience on the Steam Deck
- Tuxborn - Deck CS: This profile aims for a locked 30FPS experience on the Steam Deck, but with the additional visual benefits of the Community Shaders mod and profile.
- Tuxborn – Desktop: This profile is for slightly more powerful PCs, has a full Community Shaders suite, higher INI settings, and uses Azurite Weathers instead of Cathedral Weathers. Performance of this profile will depend on your system specs.
Please Note: Due to the need for shader cache building on the Steam Deck, there may be a noticeable stutter in the first 1-2 hours while the cache builds. It should be good after that.
Information & Changelog

Downloads for Tuxborn are currently 60GB, and the resulting modlist install size on disk is 112GB, so **you will need at least a total of 172GB** free disk space on your Windows system to install Tuxborn. If you are transferring and playing on Steam Deck, you do not need the Downloads, only the Install directory, so you will need at least 112GB of free space on the Steam Deck or SD Card.
Conclusion & Thanks
Omni and Ouroboros would like to thank the entire Wabbajack community for being so awesome, but with a special mention for Althro, Cacophony, Arnold, Foamimi, colinswrath and Diana TES GotH, who have been a great help in us getting this far.
