Fully modded SKYRIM VR on a 4090 is GORGEOUS! // Skyrim VR BEST Graphics Mods

[@PredCaliber]

Many thanks for showing my modlist, and the kind words! Really good to see you are enjoying it! Also I feel honored saying “they did a good job” like it was a team while it is just good ol simple Predcaliber :). I used about 90% of the same graphic mods I used for Skyrim AE/SE, with a bit more tweaking for VR, (ENB and weather mods as well)and of course some VR specific mods like PLANCK, Higgs, and VRIK. I am running it on a 3090 FE and I really having the time of my life with Skyrim VR. Hoped to share the experience for everyone in a easy way with the help of a Wabbajack auto installer. Btw Big change coming up this year to improve performance for all users as well! Current modlist is not 100% flawless, but will work fine out the box! :) for the ones who are curious which mods are exactly in this modlist with load order etc, there is also a excel list in the misc files of my nexus page. PS: I also have an instruction video on my Nexus mods page if people are new to Wabbajack

Bedankt voor je werk ben hem aan het installeren.

[@spinx2273]

I just installed this myself a couple days ago - thank you! I was so disappointed in Vanilla Skyrim VR, this has had me in it so much! One question though - at night things are dark which is good, but the nighttime sky is so bright that I am blinded by it and can barely see anything unless I physically block the brightest parts of the sky with my character's hand. Any idea which mod file/setting I could tweak to fix it? Some kind of bloom/adaptive contrast I am thinking is the issue.

I’m but a meager content consumer, but I can offer you at least one watch and a like for said guide.

[@AstralHobo]

Agreed with Wabbajack, this is the route I'm about to take for the first time, modding Skyrim VR feels a lot more delicate than it used to be, I used to run around 80 mods in the past no problem now I feel like I crash my game at least once before I'm even 20 mods in now.

Tutorial would be dandy Mr Beardo especially with your granular approach to everything, something the world of influencers is hard to find as most I've found do not go into as much detail as you do. You're just about the only one who actually articulates on such a detailed level. Your approach to being an influencer should be a standard across the board to give quality to any type of content. Well done sir.

[@spinx2273]

What lovely timing for you to release this video - I've spent the past few days installing and enjoying the heck out of Skyrim VR using the same installation and guide from predcaliber! I played through the intro to Vanilla Skyrim VR years ago, and immediately exited that blurry mess and did not return. I tried manually installing a bunch of mods to improve it, but I couldn't get anything significant going and still successfully load the game. This one is where it's at.

[@jlepage36]

[@vanuscpw3379]

still wishing a new VR RPG game that combine the scale of skyrim and "Blade and Sorcery" combat together. Now skyrim VR with mods is the only option out there

[@mikeswift8155]

I use the Wabbajack FUS mod pack with a few additional mods added on top of that (such as Legacy of Dragonborn, True storms, Inigo and Lucian followers and others) on a 3080 with 32 g ram and AMD 5600x and It runs just fine on the Quest 2 with and avg of 90 fps. I typically use a LINK cable to maintain power for looooong sessions but it works similarly well wirelessly on Virtual Desktop, perhaps a few less frames but still very smooth. Some of the best VR mechanics work really well in this mod pack including, Planck, Higgs (gravity gloves) Spell / weapon wheel for both hands, the ability to Throw your hand weapon in "God of War" type fashion with weapon return function. The FUS mod pack looks amazing, is optimized well and has the quality of life mods you really want and need in Skyrim VR. I highly recommend. Thanks Beardo for all the work you put into your videos and the service you provide to the VR community. You are much appreciated.

[@CluelessDadGamer]

i think a guide would be awesome, I use vortex for my modding so a little worried that I would lose some truly awesome mods, like the dragonborn speak naturally where you speak the dialog instead of clicking it, and the audio books of skyrim, which gives you the ability to listen to someone read out the book you pick up whilst you are still playing.

[@nitsuj6555]

Vortex is good enough, ive got almost 200 mods running thru vortex INCLUDING that dragonborn speaks naturally one, just had to make a few load order tweakd throughout modding but ive been set since! That said, havent played in a couple months so not sure if updates to certain mods might change this

I am playing the Tahrovin wabbajack now for about 4 days. It runs very nicely on my 3080. Took me about 3 days from complete modding newb, to having it work. The RUS wabbajack guide from Virtual Panda helped immensely. As well as careful reading of the instructions. Was it worth the effort. Oh my god yes. The gameplay improvements and the NSFW stuff are amazing, and something you will never get from a gaming company. It is the most immersive RPG experience you can currently have in gaming.

[@werpu12]

I just started with Skyrim VR... spent literally 5 hours modding it, now I finally got into the game, it is easily the best VR RPG game ever, not too bad given that the original is a normal very good RPG. I wished we had more titles like Skyrim VR and HL Alyx, most of the VR stuff is mini games or AA titles with 5 hours of playtime but definitely not games where you really can sink into an alternate reality for a while!

[@ralphrainwater]

I tried Skyrim when it came out, but grew bored and fell completely into the Fallout 3, New Vegas, Fallout 4 worlds. Something about fantasy RPGs didn't appeal to me. Upon getting the Lenovo WMR headset, I bought Skyrim VR and was astonished at the realism. 307 hours later, I paused playing because these mods were coming out, and my i5 3rd generation and GTX 1060 couldn't handle them. So yes, please do show your Wabbajack experience. I did install a mod list for it on my updated PC, but yours looks even better. And I'll start all over again -- it's the finest large VR game out there. And if you want to do the same with Fallout 4 VR, happy to watch it.

I recently just upgraded to the card that was your predecessor--the 2080 Super--from a 1060, and loaded up Skyrim just the other day, fully modded. I was totally floored. It was a totally different experience. Loaded a save from an interior space, walked outside and just laughed/gawked in astonishment for about five minutes at the mountain range. It's nice to finally have smooth gameplay, with pretty visuals, that's for sure. I can only imagine how it looks with a 4090! I'd probably just go full-dive and live there. 😆 Once haptics, full body tracking, and gloves are perfected, Skyrim VR's gonna be freaky good. All I need to complete my mods right now is the Skyrim 202X 7gig architecture pack. Wish me luck on finding a good, stable download connection. lol

[@davidchandler5432]

I never played Skyrim before playing Skyrim VR, and it's really an awesome VR game with only a little bit of easy modding. It's a shame that Bethesda forces us to mod stuff to get the most out of the VR experience, but I'm someone who never modded any game before and the guides online make it very easy. I recommend consulting the Skyrim VR reddit for anyone looking for guides, and there's also video guides to find too. People have compiled mod packs together as well (like Wabbajack, that's a good one), where you only have to install one thing and it loads all these great mods for you... very easy! After adding the HIGGS and VRIK mods to bring in modern VR mechanics and physics interactions, the game is pretty much as good as anything else out there. Place holsters anywhere ya like on your body, use an arm to sweep everything off a table, do physical motions to cast spells if ya like, it all adds a lot. I would recommend the game for any VR player, though you do have to keep in mind that I'm someone who is relatively new to Skyrim so I'm not burned out on the game-- I get to enjoy it fresh in VR and that likely changes things, but it's so cheap when it's on sale and it's really not hard to mod the essential VR mods in. I gotta imagine it'd still be cool to see a lot of these locations in VR even for someone who played for thousands of hours, but if you're like me and never played it before ya really gotta get it and do some easy modding.

[@andypacey9266]

Predcalibers mod is beautiful, FUS mod is also excellent and for the 18+ crowd Tahrovin mod adds, ahem, “everything”. Adults only!! Wabajack installs all of them, but only choose and use one. Most of us fail at modding because we don’t understand the conflicts, wabajack solves that, I was a complete newcomer to Skyrim let alone Skyrim VR, followed a tutorial by Predcaliber (Cangar is also excellent) had little to no trouble installing and now have 400+ mods running, I would recommend at least a 2080ti for this sort of load though. Bear do is running a 4090 so don’t expect to mimic his image, it’s still damn good though on a 2080. To play this wirelessly on a quest 2 is hell of an experience!

[@lulutango]

There's also DLSS support in a mod now, which isn't impossible to get working- in a card with plenty of overhead like the 4090, you might see some nice upscaling gains. You could see some extra pixels/frames. Would really pop with the Meta Quest 3 also being out now, too.

[@kelanel]

Wabbajack guide is a great a idea. I just recently started using the fus template but still am struggling to learn the controls.
