Here is how this works:

A windows program looks for certain things in windows. It needs certain things to work, and wine attempts to supply these needs so that the program will run on linux. With skyrim, most mods are nothing more than extras the are only accessed by skyrim itself - so if skyrim is working, then your mods should work.

Worst case scenario: give it a shot. Install steam in wine, download skyrim, see what happens. If it runs and your satisfied with performance, plug in an addon, try to run it, repeat til you're satisfied and stuff works.

I'm not so sure man, SKSE might not play well with WINE, and it's needed for some of the cooler mods. Likewise, the best graphics stuff for morrowind doesn't work in WINE. (Trust me, I tried)

Yeah, I wasn't thinking about ENBs and I forgot about SKSE (I dunno how, SkyUI was my favorite mod). I quit playing Skyrim almost a year ago, so I hadn't thought about all the extra crap you gotta add to make the game good.
