I installed the 154 GB 'biblically accurate Skyrim' mod and crashed my PC 8 times

I wanted to test my system to breaking point. Having settled on openSUSE Tumbleweed and with games mostly working, I downloaded Jackify—a Linux Wabbajack modlist installer—and used it to install Curseadelica, a 154 GB modlist. Curseadelica is a hodgepodge of nearly 900 mods that turns Skyrim into an acid-trip sequence from a '90s cartoon, with new races, new quests, new NPCs and everything else.

One selectable race was a human body whose head was a small spider; NPCs range from inflated caricatures with bulbous heads and balloon torsos to giants and tiny figures, and many lines have been run through machine translation into near indecipherability. The mod ran but crashed repeatedly—I picked a Nirnroot making wookiee sounds, began driving a Mazda, attempted bizarre spells and the game crashed each time.

The failures were not unique to Linux, and after turning the PC off the mod now refuses to run, showing a black screen for a couple of seconds and then nothing.
