Luckily, Lutris makes this easier for us too. Such an installer also exists for the Mass Effect games, however we are on our own when it comes to modding, so my guide will explain that in detail. Since managing Wine manually can be a bit difficult, there is a wonderful program called Lutris, which makes managing different Wine environments and applications a lot more convenient and provides many community contributed installers to install Windows applications and games automatically. This basically means the directory, in which the Windows things get installed, for example "~/Games/mass-effect-2/".
In this article I will mention the term "Wine Prefix". It is different from a virtual machine in that it doesn't actually run a copy of Windows, but just provides the features necessary for Windows applications to run on Linux. Windows applications can be made to run on Linux using Wine, which is a kind of translation layer that makes programs think they are running on Windows while translating all the low-level stuff for your Linux computer to understand. First I will explain the setup, but you can skip to the "Installing Lutris" section to get right into it.
This guide will explain the full process of installing and modding Mass Effect 2 (Origin version, original game, not Legendary Edition) on a Linux computer.
