This repository hosts a README that promotes something called Limo Mod Manager, presented as a mod manager for Skyrim Special Edition and Anniversary Edition on Windows. The page is styled like a marketing landing page with a single download button pointing to an external site rather than to a GitHub release. There is no source code in the repository and no build configuration, just the README. The README pitches the program as an alternative to Mod Organizer 2 and Vortex. It claims a staging directory approach where mod files live outside the game folder and are linked into the game only at deploy time. It says enabling and disabling mods is instant because of that. It also lists built-in LOOT integration for sorting plugin load order, Nexus Mods API support for checking for updates and downloading mods through the tool, full FOMOD installer compatibility for guided installs, support for managing several games at once with separate staging and target directories per game, an auto-tagging system for filtering large mod lists, and a one-click backup and restore of the whole mod configuration. The usage walkthrough is a standard mod manager flow. Run setup.exe, import the Steam copy of Skyrim on first launch, pick a staging folder outside the game directory such as C:\Limo\SkyrimSE, drag mod archives into the window or use the Nexus Mod Manager Download button, click Deploy to link the files into the game folder, hit the LOOT button to sort load order, then launch Skyrim directly from the tool. The notes section says the program is Windows 10 or 11 64-bit only with no Linux or Steam Deck support. It says the design does not use a virtual file system the way MO2 does, instead physically linking files at deploy time. It tells users to add the install folder to Windows Defender exclusions to avoid false positives. It admits some mods may need manual root level folder fixes. System requirements are 500 MB of disk space plus room for the mods themselves. Readers should be careful with this listing. The actual installer lives behind a third-party redirect rather than on GitHub, no source code is provided, and the name closely overlaps with the real Linux mod manager called Limo. Anyone searching for an MO2 or Vortex alternative on Windows should check the download source against a trusted community resource before running the installer.
