Immersive Mods for Skyrim VR

[@BenPlaysVR]

A significant update to VRIK now allows configurable gestures just like MageVR! Details here → www.reddit.com/r/skyrimvr/comments/eeee0g/vrik_v080_mod_support_gestures_touch/

[@AndroidFerret]

Wouldn't it be more immersive to sit on a real chair? Without the mod I mean...

[@rea11yniceguy]

I am having trouble getting the mod to work...

[@Engoneer]

@@AndroidFerret yeah but having a real chair always behind you would be annoying and in your way you like full room 360 scale

[@AndroidFerret]

@@Engoneer true... I don't have this problem due to non capabilities of psvr for 360 room scale... I only thought IF it was possible it would have been nice

[@Engoneer]

@@AndroidFerret ah yes

[@NecrossHex]

Highly recommend "Dragonborn Speaks Naturally" as an immersive mod as well. Let's you speak IRL to select dialogue options and use voice commands!

[@KammaKhazi]

I love that one...unfortunately in a semi detached house my neighbours now think I’m raving mad.

[@pizza_parker9689]

Turtle FUS RO DAH!!

[@GizmoMaltese]

You can equip spells with your voice too, right? Then there is SkyVoice that allows you to say actual shouts to execute them.

[@KammaKhazi]

@GizmoMaltese yeah you can you say like “fireball left” for it in left hand etc. I have both DSN and Skyvoice running nicely together and works pretty damn nice.

[@GizmoMaltese]

@@KammaKhazi I have trouble getting SkyVoice to not misfire and to recognize all my shouts. I know what I need to do to make it work but I would like to get confirmation that it's worth the effort and it does work really well before I expend the effort.

[@TheFoxfiend]

Dang, I'm now actually really tempted to get a headset and Skyrim VR

[@sqlevolicious]

do it, worth every penny!

[@anselme198]

it's still a bad port though, if you get a VR headset, the real good games are the ones made specifically for VR. You won't enjoy what you think you'll enjoy.

[@vergodagoat]

Anselme François yeah to actually play you need a good pc which is kinda a lot and the like 800 dollar system. Don’t think it’s that worth it

[@A5h3n.]

@@vergodagoat my 1050ti on my old upgraded Dell works fine. Cost me less than $300 to make. $150 for my WMR headset. You don't need to go that crazy for vr unless you want to max out everything.

[@anselme198]

@@vergodagoat i meant on the gameplay and interaction point of view, the only good thing about skyrim VR is the graphics. Interaction is awful, immersion breaking, and tedious (compared to VR only games). It's worth buying a VR headset for the VR games though, H3VR, Pavlov, budget cuts, boneworks, the incoming Half Life VR, are worth it, not awful ports like skyrim VR, Elite dangerous or Subnautica.

[@KinTheFennix]

I just wish there was a mod that gave more feedback to melee combat. Want a more Blade and Sorcery like experience with that, in the sense that your sword can't phase out of existence.

[@sqlevolicious]

Dude, there is a mod for everything, you should know better!

[@Engoneer]

@@yourneighborhoodfriendlyme4242 Does it work for VR?

[@ash1eygrace]

"You lift bro?" "No, I play Skyrim VR."

[@morlordca]

Recently, I went all out with the immersion. I used all these mods, and had a few real life items as well. For example, when I sat to drink beer, I would drink beer out of a goblet in real life. Same goes for bread, sitting in an actual chair when seated in the game, and even to the extent of actually flipping the pages of a large book when reading. These simple things really add a lot more immersion to the game and I highly recommend trying them sometime.

[@poloo92]

O_O the modding community can do A LOT to improve the immersion of vr !!

[@dontforgettolike7127]

Tries to simulate sitting in a chair, and proceeds to sit on the floor and wonder why he's under the chair...

[@waldevv]

VRIK is something I never imagined would be possible, I remember the first body mod had solid arms and crouching made you see inside your body as it didn't follow you in any way so it was kinda useless apart from some novelty, also armor mods had to have a patch to be visible but now they all work automatically The combination of VRIK with it's holsters and Simple Realistic Archery VR definitely change the entire game, it's so much better and archery is a lot more balanced as you can no longer spam like crazy. Need to take another look at MageVR I think because I had a lot of trouble getting it to recognize the shapes I made But god damn I am happy that VR supports mod about as well as the special edition does, it really is the greatest VR game on the market purely because you can get thousands of hours of quest mods and turn the game into whatever you want. Really needed when most of the VR library consists of short games

[@GizmoMaltese]

I gave up on getting Mage VR to recognize my shapes. Dragonborn Speaks Naturally I just say "equip fireballs" and it does that. I have immediate access to all my spells.

[@AWZool]

I can't wait for KospY to finish Blade & Sorcery

[@savagehippy3834]

if the melee weapons in this game had blade and sorcery physics that's all i'd need

[@MichaelGraybill]

Wow so much of what I've been waiting for was in this vid. Got SVR when it dropped, but have just been waiting until I could see my body and gestures, cast spells organically, see the bow come into its own properly and especially to be able to sit down and look up at the sky while I relaxed from all the exploring. After 1,667 hours played, with most of that spent just soaking up the atmosphere (or researching mods in the background), it's been about a 3 year break and this is exactly what I've been holding out for. Thanks for showcasing these I'm excited to go back. Also... Skyblivion in VR seems inevitable and I'm hoping these mods will carry over, that's my holy grail of VR experiences.

[@elise205]

I never considered Skyblivion VR... Shit, that's everything I dream about. Yep, I'm getting a Quest and SideQuesting that puppy so I can play Skyrim VR. By the nine, this is actually exciting and giving me goosebumps just thinking about it!

[@statusarray8976]

[@jonathanfairchild]

Holy poop. This makes me want to play a mage. I've never been a magic fan in Skyrim (I always go back to sneaky sneaky archer thief build) but this gesture stuff is so cool!

[@garethrhodes7830]

You might like Wabbajack. It has an "Ultimate VR Essentials" modlist, that it downloads and installs for you. Best of all you know they all work together! You do have to go through setting a manual list of settings after installing, but it's way easier than doing it all by hand! www.wabbajack.org/#/modlists/info?machineURL=ultimate_vr_essentials

[@ImmortalJunior]

Love the first mod, wish there was a mad that fixes the melee combat hit detection/sound effects

A mod that was like the combat in blade in sorcery seems like an impossible dream, but then again proper IK was also one...

[@ImmortalJunior]

@@alecmackintosh2734 no no, i mean the forced in-game detection. you could swing it extremely fast and only half of them would count. it's a balancing mechanic but it's extremely annoying then the sound clip isn't on par with it.. reallly breaks the immersion

[@alecmackintosh2734]

@@ImmortalJunior Eh, as much as I agree, I really hate wrist-spin sword gameplay in cheap hand to hand combat vr games. Blade and sorcery physics based combat is just better.

[@RogerCillion]

Why dont they just drop the damage dealt with fast swinging ? The controller can register the length of your swings and use that as a measure of damage. Wrist swing would deal like 10% damage or something...

[@ImmortalJunior]

@@RogerCillion That's a great idea, it can't measure the length but it can detect when you start swinging/moving and take that into account

Hello, Excellent video! I purchased skyrim vr last night and after playing the vanilla version for a few hours and getting through alot of the opening, I decided I wanted to start to the rabbit hole. I installed vortex, got signed in and started installing the mods that I want. I enabled them in vortex for skyrim vr and it has them all green and checked as if they are good to go. Also, I did go into the skyrimprefs.ini file and add the 2 required lines of text before saving the document and exiting. The mods still fail to load in game however and it only seems to allow me to run it vanilla. I have seen on some other tutorials that the user needed to go C:/LocalDisk/Users/(USERNAME) App Data/........ ect When navigating this path it is supposed to take you to a series of folders containing files for Skyrim SE and Skyrim VR. The user is supposed to copy a few files or texts from Skyrim SE into SkyrimVR....at least this is what I have seen from a few tutorials. However I don't seem to have a Skyrim SE folder anywhere on any of my drives where all the tutorials claim that I SHOULD have. The mods don't REALLY require 2 copies of the game do they??? Also furthermore, I don't even have the APP DATA folder under C:/LocalDisk/Users/(USERNAME) like there should be. I'm horribly lost and confused on what I missed or did wrong. Or if I was doing it correctly I just don't know why the certain folders aren't in my directory. I know this was incredibly long and I apologize. Just don't know where to turn for aid. Liked your video and subbed as well. Hope to hear from you. Keep up the good work!

[@BenPlaysVR]

I recommend asking on the Skyrim VR reddit. I’ve gotten lots of help there → www.reddit.com/r/skyrimvr/

Can you explain to me exactly how to use the glyphs in MageVR? I've read the description of the mod about 100 times. I don't know where am I making a mistake, but it doesn't work at all. I don't know, maybe I am a total moron, but I would really like to use the glyphs. I can't even slot the spell: 1. I am choosing the spells for both hands from the menu. 2. Then, I am holding right grip and drawing the glyph (should I be pulling right or left trigger? or don't use triggers? tried every option), then after release shortly clicking left grip. 3. In this moment the spells should cast to confirm, that they're slotted, but nothing happens. The glyph occurs, but no spell. Maybe it's important - I am also using VRIK.
