modde vs MO2
Truth-first comparison
What is fully shipped today, what is still partial, and which MO2 gaps remain.
Git-backed save vaults
Full history, branching, and restore for game saves.
Save fingerprinting
Warns before loading a save incompatible with your current mod setup.
Experiment stack
Try profile changes non-destructively and commit or roll back.
Declarative FOMOD configs
TOML, JSON, and Nix configs for reproducible installers.
Wabbajack installation
Install complete Wabbajack modlists natively on Linux.
NixOS-native
Declarative profiles in Home Manager with no Wine manager required.
Shipped today
The areas that are actually trustworthy today.
| Area | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Profiles + save vaults | Done | Profile switching, experiments, git-backed save history, and fingerprints are shipped. |
| VFS deployment | Done | Symlink-farm deployment, rollback, and conflict resolution are strong differentiators on Linux. |
| Nexus / Wabbajack / Collections | Done | These are the first-class install flows today. |
| Data Files / Diagnostics / Tools / Downloads views | Partial | Reachable and data-backed, but not yet MO2-complete. |
| BAIN and non-Nexus source breadth | Partial | Core plumbing exists, but UX and positioning are still incomplete. |
| Generic / user-defined games | Partial | Arbitrary titles can be registered, without bespoke scanner or save tracker depth. |
