Introduction

One of the problems with loading loose file mods into Fallout 4 is the Case issue. Specifically Windows is case insensitive when it comes to folder names. On the other hand Linux is case sensitive. In some cases it is a problem that needs to be solved.

When talking about case insensitive or case sensitive folder naming, what is specificity meant is that windows sees the folders “test and “Test” as the same folder. Windows does not enforce capitalization differences of names.

Most File systems used on Linux, do see a difference between “test” and “Test”. These are two different folders.

If we install a mod on a Linux system, we have a chance of ending up with two folders only differentiated by capital and small letters. This is a problem because even though WINE and Proton can run Windows programs on Linux Systems, they cannot control how files are saved and arranged in storage.
