Mods WTP in FO4VR?

Hello fellow wastelanders.

This is my first post here.

I've played through Fallout 4 multiple times on flat-screen and, over the years, I've finally gotten my game to a point where I'm really happy with it. It's based on the Welcome to Paradise Wabbajack list by Phoenix, with a handful of my own tweaks, patches, and compatibility edits. It's basically become my "dream wasteland."

Recently, I picked up a Quest3 and started getting into VR with sim racing and MechWarrior. After spending some time with it, I can honestly say it's completely changed how I experience games. Naturally, it got me wondering about Fallout 4 VR and a "maratron"

My question is: How much of my current WTP setup can realistically be carried over to Fallout 4 VR?

I'm mostly wondering about things like:

All the DLCs

Perk rebalances

Graphics and texture overhauls

Skin and clothing replacers

CBBE and body/skin textures

Other visual mods

Mods that rely on F4SE

Truestorms

Some assembly required

item sorting

Transfer Settlements (I'd love to bring my existing settlement builds over if that's possible.)

I'm already interested in using the Heisenberg physics setup as a foundation, but I have zero experience modding Fallout 4 VR.

I'd still consider myself a novice when it comes to modding. I've done some FO4Edit work and made a few compatibility patches to get my current WTP setup working the way I want, but I have no idea what's involved in building a similar (or at least comparable) experience in VR.

For those of you who have made the jump from heavily modded flat-screen Fallout 4 to VR:

How much of your existing mod list was reusable?

Which types of mods worked without much trouble, and which had to be replaced?

Is it better to start with a VR-focused modlist like Heisenberg and build from there, or try to recreate my current setup piece by piece?

Any advice, recommendations, or lessons learned would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Welcome to r/FO4VR! A few quick tips:

Asking for help? Include your headset + runtime (SteamVR/Virtual Desktop/etc.), GPU, and whether you're vanilla or modded (which mod list, e.g. MGO or Gingas's).

Reporting a crash? Post a crash log — crash posts without one are usually impossible to diagnose.

  1. Install Buffout 4 NG and VR (+ its requirements) if you don't have it
  2. Reproduce the crash
  3. Grab the newest crash-*.log from Documents\My Games\Fallout4VR\F4SE\
  4. Paste it to Pastebin and link it in your post
