Limo Mod Manager is described as a Windows tool for managing user-made modifications, called mods, for the game Fallout 4. The README is a styled HTML page with a large download button that points to an outside web address rather than to a release file inside the repository. The summary line says the tool supports F4SE (a script extender), BA2 archive files, ESL plugin files, and sorting through a tool called LOOT, and that it keeps the game folder clean by storing mod files elsewhere. The feature list explains a staging directory system, where all mod files live outside the game folder and the manager creates hard links into the game directory when the user clicks Deploy. Other listed features are: launching Fallout 4 through F4SE from inside the manager, automatic handling of Bethesda Archive .ba2 files and ESL plugin files, built-in LOOT support for sorting plugin load order and flagging dirty edits, NexusMods API integration for downloading mods and update checks, auto-tagging and filtering by category or custom tag, and multiple deployers that can target different install folders or game prefixes. The how-to-use steps say to run the setup installer, use an Import From Steam option so the program can auto-detect Fallout 4, choose a staging folder outside the game directory (such as C:\Limo\Fallout4), drag mod archives into the program or download them from Nexus through the manager, click Deploy to link mod files into the game folder, press the LOOT button to sort plugins, and then launch Fallout 4 from inside the manager. The notes section says the program is Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit only, with no Linux or macOS support. It does not use a virtual file system; it uses hard links instead, which the README claims is safe and has near-zero performance cost. It asks the user to add the program folder to Windows Defender exclusions to avoid antivirus false positives, and points out that the staging directory has to sit on the same drive as Fallout 4 for hard links to work. The README ends with a list of system requirements (Windows 10 or 11, the Steam copy of Fallout 4, around 500 MB plus space for mods), a four-step install grid, and a row of search tags. No source code is shown in the README itself, only the description and the download link.
