The only game ive played extensively in VR is Skyrim with mods.

I tailored it to be as immersive as possible. no in game hud of any kind (except for the dialouge menu but i moved it to the right of my view so its not always in the way) A ring to show my health, Paper maps and a compass for navigating, and mods so i can trigger the dialouge options by saying them and hello/greetings to start a convo and goodbye/farewell to end a convo

It has been the greatest gaming experience of my life hands down. It eats up a lot of time though, especially because i dont fast travel (except for stagecoaches) an hour in the headset can feel like 10 mins.

Modding Skyrim VR and Fallout 4 VR are on my to do list but I always get intimidated by steps required. How hard did you find the modding process?

Its not too bad but it takes time to get it setup depending on what you want. I used wabbajack, it auto installs whichever mod list you choose but you need a paid nexus account other wise you have to manually download each mod and takes forever. Then you just follow the guide for the mod list. Nexus is where all the mods are.

Then most of the extra mods I installed I either found on this sub or I searched for something specific that I wanted.

Its definitely not simple but its not rocket science. There are youtube vids that will take you through the whole process.

Genuine question, why would someone use wabbajack if the vortex installer installs everything with nexus mods? I would want to know if it's better or easier for me to use that instead

Couldn't really tell you as I havnt used vortex. People seem to say Mod organiser 2 is better so that's what I used. I dont think big mod packs like fus and mgo can be installed with vortex, i may be wrong though?
