User story

As a user

I want to launch game directly from my desktop

So that i dont need to open nexus mods app and press launch game button there, which increasing time to get to the fully set game.

Design

A fully set game with mods. So user have finished modding and just wants to play game, right? And here goes magical button create shortcut which makes a shortcut on desktop that launches Nexus Mods App in Background without disturbing user and then launchig a game. Possibly that for each supported game there is an icon with Nexus mods app icon included to that shortcut so it is distinct from unmodded icon of the game.

DOD

User have set up the game with mods.
User press button create shortcut
User on next day boots up pc and clicks on short cut
User don's see Nexus Mods App starting in the background
User seees only the game launching
User is happy.

@Dio-Kyrie Which game are you playing?
The app deploys the mod files directly into the game folder, so you can just start the game normally rather than opening the app. The only exception is if the game requires you to start it in a specific way to load mods (e.g. SMAPI for Stardew, SKSE for Skyrim).

@Pickysaurus I play, skyrim and bannerlord. So i just want to have ability to create a shortcut on desktop from within nexus mods app. As a user I would like to not be bothered about which .exe i should add to my desktop, especially if I am only using a collection from nexus mods and I dont know all the details of the said collection.
