I used BBE/BepInEx the last time I played with old basemod mods (last year/months ago), though it's severely incompatible with workshop Basemod and several other mods

Otherwise you either make your own port or forget about them. It's not worth using mods from nexus at this day and age, plus a lot of them have been ported already.

Just curious but what old mod were you wanting to use?

Mainly it were just some ""QoL"" mods like the one that unlocks all of the battle symbols, also I wasn't sure if steam workshop's "unlimited passives" is better than "free passives" from nexus

Unlimited passives is essentially the same, but you can add like 20 passives on a character. The battle symbol one is just a one-time thing so you can pretty much uninstall it the moment you unlocked everything since it stays with you anyway.

I'm sure there isn't much QoL stuff to offer on nexus now. Workshop already got more than 10 of them, including old ones like the yesod floor optimization and NoGrind, but the best one is the changeable Mass Attack target mod

I too would like to know if there is a way for nexus mods to work with the steam basemod, on the nexus there are mods that add new battle symbols, not just skins but I cannot get the game to register the mods being there or am sure if they would even turn up in the mod list.

I highly not recommend mods that add Battle Symbols since the game has no way of removing them when the mod is uninstalled and your save file would be ruined unless you install the mod back.

Again, it's not worth sticking to nexus mods. Your only way is in the earlier post I mentioned.

It depends on how the specific mod in question implements it. Yes, trying to load Symbols that don't exist in the current mod configuration breaks the game, but this can only happen if modded Symbols were previously saved alongside original Symbols (i.e. if the mod authors did not patch the saving method to move their Symbols elsewhere).
By the way, BaseMod for Workshop currently has a safeguard functionality against such issues - it makes the game simply ignore nonexistent Symbols instead of breaking. And in the (hopefully near) future, it will implement a LorId indexing mechanism for custom Symbols, so that new mod authors won't have to check every other mod for possibly conflicting numerical Ids.
