What's your process for keeping track of multiple hard disks and naming conventions etc.?
You may use your distro's GUI file manager. It probably has all the same stuff as Windows explorer. Then you have "Documents" and stuff, to organize yourself.
The paths you need to follow are found, I imagine, the same way as on Windows, by using a search engine. Maybe Linux complicates that, but I dont' think so as far as once you're inside the Steam game folder.
I searched "steam linux fallout 4 mod folder" and came up with stuff.
Oh that's cuz it's using Wine. Wine makes things look like Windows to the app. The game will want to install to a C: or D: or whatever, so wine needs to emulate that.
I know, it's an unsatisfying answer. But there's no technical reason why you couldn't. I think the default is ~/games/whatevername and you're free to install games to any mounted file system.
Personally, for my entertainment, I like being able to just back up my home directory and not think too much about or keep track of other places my stuff can be. Is this efficient? Probably not, but sometimes a decrease in cognitive load for years to come is worth the 1 or 2% reduction in gaming performance from sharing drive bandwidth with your OS today.

It's up to you.
