Resident Evil 2 Remake - best version for mods?

Just looking for a safe copy of RE:2, but in order for it to play nicely with my Steam Deck and Fluffy Mod Manager, I need a copy of the game before the ray tracing update. The one that killed 90% of the mods, or at least doesn't allow them to work.

I tried fitgirl, but does anyone have any suggestions? I'd really appreciate a hand!
