- Especially in a VR game, its important that everything looks as natural and realistic as possible. So here I present my version of a carefully, lore-friendly modded Sykrim VR. It doesn't take more than 40 (including all base tools) and a custom ENB (self-made) for a very good experience.
The distorsion in the left half of the video is because I captured directly from the VR headset, which renders 2 viewports for stereoscopic vision. There was no post editing of the footage.

@@b.s.7693 are u using vortex?
@@moncimoov No, I use MO2
@@b.s.7693 Thank you, kind sir.
@@sprszrbr2471 you can also have a look on my Nexus page to find the latest version of my modlist)
Honestly enhanced lighting and fx has to be one of my favorite skyrim vr mods. It absolutely transforms the game especially at night
Thank you very much!
For two weeks I suffered with mods and then your video did everything as instructed!
You helped a lot!
When I return to vr in 2024 this game ultra modded will be one of my first. When I have the valve index type of fidelity wireless. Thats when vr will be ready for me.
Crazy is gonna be big in 20 years
VR Skyrim with Mods is awesome, one of the best VR games out there (has to be moded though)
Absolutely, mods carry Skyrim VR hard.
Nice vid, i want to test in somedays wheb my meta quest 2 arrives home.
Thanks for vid
It's just... amazing
nice video, you should do a full story gameplay, it ll be awesome to see realistic skyrim that way, you deserve more subs.
Not enough time my friend... Currently my aim is to share this amazing Skyrim VR experience with as many people as possible
True
This looks really good, I'm running 52 mods the majority of which is the audiobook mods. I've been on the lookout for mods that make it look as real as possible, not got a lot of confidence using enb's though.
Its all about lighting and color tones. Without an ENB you won't get that look. E. g. you need to adjust the lighting depending on the day time. Only ENB provides this. So I made my own here. It very simple to use, must simply copied into game's main folder. I link it soon in the description
@@b.s.7693 fps friendly? got a old 1080 :(
@@Maxoxpower it has an impact on performance, but I disabled a lot uneccessary features in the ENB. In general, a 1080 non Ti is minimum for proper VR. I run it on a RX6800 with the G2, has more Pixel power than a 2080Ti
@@b.s.7693 Hey buddy. Do you run it on Quest 2, by chance? Is running the game @ 120 Hz a good idea, at all? I'm on Air Link, standing right next to the router. 6G router. the PC is connected to the router with a cable. I've got 64 GB DDR4 RAM, 3060 RTX, i9-10900K. Surely the game shouldn't be choppy? It's really choppy when turning and moving objects fast (like hands). I am not using your modilst... but I've actually downloaded and set up UVRE using Wabbajack. Still.. I thought my PC should have been able to support this EASILY? :)
@@goqsane Cannot say much about that. I'm on a Reverb G2 and a RX 6800. No problems so far. An ENB with too much effects is maybe the reason. I noticed it, when I optimized mine. There a lot of redundant effects which increase the frametimes noticeable.
Looks amazing!
Beautiful work!
I like the night
Very nice 10/10
Great vid recently got into modding Skyrim vr the other week. one tip see how TH-cam auto makes videos darker so that almost pitch black was insanely pitch black hahaha but good job man keep up the good work 😃
Yes, I noticed that afterward. In the original footage you can still see the ground and the landscape. But here in the uploaded video you didnt see that
@@b.s.7693 honestly it’s not a massive difference I’ve noticed even that my texture pack in Skyrim vr is very dark at night
One thing I've never been able to fix is the waterfalls and such being too bright at night
There is a mod for this, which was recently released! Google "bright waterfall fix"
Which VR headset do you use ? do you think the quest 2 can support this via air link ? I wish modding was easier :/
I'm on a Reverb G2. Of course, Quest via AirLink (or maybe better, Virtual Destop) works here.
I've seen people are capable of achieving a smooth running good looking game like yours with a quest 2 VR link and with weaker specs than my PC but I just have a hard time getting them mods to work. Which few mods do you think helped the most to have your game this smooth ? Maybe I'll start with those mods..
@@DRLZEca Well, there are a lot of potential reasons. But I'm not very familiar with the Quest 2 environment, so maybe some forum topics may help further...
Awesome video! :o ❤️
Nice vidéo 👍
I’m still trying to get my Skyrim VR to look like this but men it’s hard working on pc to do all that stuff I have no clue what I’m doing sometimes I wish I had a friend who knew more about computers then me
Yes, so many details to consider and often specific to your setup. For me, modding Skyrim VR is one of my biggest pastime, which is maybe neccessary...
I would never want to take off the VR headset
How did you get the skyui,skse64 and sksevr to work i have been trying to get them to work but keep getting the skyui will not work with out sksevr, i have tryed everything that others have made videos for and can not get them to work the same go's for the vrik, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hard to help from the distance. Cannot say more than the tutorials here on YT
@@b.s.7693 no problem just thought i would ask and keep trying to get them to work.
Can you "feel nature" even more with this mods + VR?
Standing in the deep tundra grass around Whiterun which is waving in the wind... yes, it really makes you feel like you're over there.
@@b.s.7693 Awesome
Please advise wtah mod name for Weapon collisions with objects, tables like on video 7:30 ?
It comes with the *HIGGS* mod when you enable a feature in its .ini file: "ForcePhysicsGrab=1". *But* this works only with objects in "grab mode". When something is equipped as a weapon, there are less collision functions.
My list is around 50, only some slight differences.
there is a video on my channel if u wanna compare
@@danielharrison9453
I checked it out and I see that you also have a good feeling for the right lighting 👍🏻
Only the fire in your interiors should spread a bit more light imo
@@b.s.7693 Yeah, I took the second option for that in one of them (1 is normal, 2 is expanded, 3 is extra wide) never even tried 3 tho...cuz the example screen made it look like too much
Anyone try this ENB with UVRE wabbjack?
Would be cool if anyone does 👍
I would move away from RW2 in VR, looks flat with no reflections. VR water has a lot of issues but I’ve found cathedral waters is about as good as we can do. Pure waters used to be good but it’s been removed from the nexus.
Yes, I use SkyVRaan Shimmering Waters. That looks great but it is not easy to install.
@@b.s.7693 yes! Actually I figured out the install yesterday and it’s hands down the best water for VR
@@brianschwarm8267 Please show a video of this, I 'think' I installed it, but can't quite tell. The water does look really great though, just kind of washes out at a distance.
@@investingembers video of SkyVRaan? There’s a good install guide on TH-cam I think. I’m not going to make a video on it. Just a personal note, I do DynDOLOD, then SkyVRaan, and then the synthesis patcher. Otherwise, distant water looks off, like there’s an obvious seam. Plus side of SkyVRaan is that if it’s installed wrong, it’s pretty easily apparent right outside of riverwood.
Special thanks for the list of mods! Does anyone know if skyrim supports the hand tracking module?
Did you do the LODGEN part for Cathedral landscapes? And if you did, did you perchance do them in vortex?
No I dont use any LOD related mod here. I tried Dyndolod, but it didnt work
Would I be able to get and use all of these mods with vortex even though it’s not the program that you yourself use? Do you think my p.c with the specs of (cpu-amd ryzen 9 3900x) (gpu-nvidia GeForce rtx 3070) (Ram- 2 8gb sticks) would be enough to run my Skyrim VR like the one your running in the video?
I can't say anything for sure about Vortex, but as far as I heard Vortex works nearly the same like MO2. So, yes. And yes, it should work on your pc. My specs are Ryzen 3600, 16GB RAM, RX 6800 and I hit 80...90FPS constant, very similar to yours.
@@b.s.7693 may I ask which resolution the game is rendered at?
@@b.s.7693 much appreciated! Glad to hear it! I’ve been thirsting for a beautiful and immersive Skyrim Vr experience ever since watching your video and others like it!
@@b.s.7693 also thanks and much appreciated for the quick willingness to reply!
Whats your pc specs running this beauty ?
Thanks for asking. CPU is Ryzen 3600 @4,35GHz + 3600MHz RAM (to meet the 1:1 infinty fabric timing!). GPU, which is most important here, is a RX 6800. Runs great for VR.
what vr headset are you using and what pc specs do you have?
HP Reverb 2 and: Ryzen 3600 | RX 6800 | 16GB RAM
@@b.s.7693 okay thanks
the video should be in 4k hdr rtx to show what it can do
The actual rendered image for the VR headset is even above 4K.
In fact, RTX is simply not possible in the old creation engine. All videos which state that is for clickbait
Can u tell me how to install Skyrim noble mod, or any graphics mod over smim mod
In fact, I use mods like "A noble Skyrim", SMIM, and a few others here. It all depends on the priority of the mod, which can be changed in the Mod Organizer. Regarding MO2, you can simply drag and drop the mods into the correct priority. The further down the list a mod is, the higher its priority and then it overwrites the data of other mods.
@@b.s.7693 every time I install noble it never changed anything yet it conflicts with sim, so I overwrite it
@@b.s.7693 it doesn’t have a load order cause it’s not a esp it’s a texture pack
@@b.s.7693 so idk how to change its load order
@@Roguuuu The Mod Organizer even recognizes the order of texture and meshes packs (doesnt matter if there are .esp's). The "last one" in the order is always allowed to overwrite the files from the prior ones. BTW, when u using a MO, its not really an overwriting, all files keep where they are. Its only an instruction for the game, which files should be used over others.
so are things still blurry for you in the distance while wearing the VR?
The pixel density in a VR Headset is of course lower than on a high res screen, thats the trade off. But I have maxed out everthing as much as possible so that every pixel of my headset gets used and that look amazing for me. The blurriness in this video is due to video recording and YT compression
@@b.s.7693 yeah the video looks amazing, i was just wondering if your headset looks like that. id like to get rid of the blurr on mine too
hello why skyui se and not skyui vr
oh, I dont know that ther is a SkyUI VR version. Does it change a lot? Actually, the common SkyUI does its job very good so far (btw. I use also Dear Diary)
@@b.s.7693 dear diary have a vr too
What is your supersampling set on in steamvr?
Indeed I run 38% (1944 x 1904 per eye) *but* with in-Game SS cranked up to max. Gives me the best performance-quality ratio compared to the other way round.
@@b.s.7693 I have a Reverb G2 as well. RTX 3080. I'm very interested in how this will look. I run 50% and then 125% in game. I will absolutely let you know
@@investingembers I found the in game SS limits the output quality. So its worth to set this on high value or even to max and then put the steamVR adjustment as high as your card is capable of. This brings up the most efficient adjustment for SkyrimVR. I'm rocking a RX 6800 for my Reverb G2, so we're just about on the same level. Would be interesting, what your fav settings are 👍🏼
@@b.s.7693 It's been a few weeks, I REALLY like the settings! Thanks for taking the time. I have done some tweaks (you know that's what modders do). I noticed nothing seems wet in the rain, is there a way to adjust this? I tried changing specular settings under ENVIRONMENT, but it didn't work.
what is the mod for interactive grabbing and physic collision?
It comes basically with the *HIGGS* mod. Even more collision physics are possible when you enable a feature in its .ini file: "ForcePhysicsGrab=1". But this works only with objects in "grab mode". When something is equipped as a weapon, there are less collisions.
what's the name of the mod for the collision with the table when hit it with the dagger?
It comes with the famous *HIGGS* mod when you enable a feature in its .ini file: "ForcePhysicsGrab=1". But even then, collisions with almost everything you get only with objects in "grab mode". When something is equipped as a weapon, there are less collisions.
@@b.s.7693
1) ah ok so it's only with weapon or object in "grab mode" and it's not working for weapon you equip in combat mode, thank you :)
2) I've the mod for destructible object it's work for chair, bookshelf but I can't break bottle and potions, how so?
1) exactly
2) here you need another mod, which is intentionally for old Skyrim but it works fine with SE and VR: "destructible bottles extended". Pretty good addition to the other mod
@@b.s.7693 thank you, so I go for the Skyrim version of the mod?
@@lorenzom8920 Yes, use this og Skyrim mod, thats it
What kind of PC are you running on? Any hiccups or anything ?
It's a Ryzen 3600 paired with an RX 6800. Basically, only the GPU matters in VR as long as your other components are reasonable
This is damn impressive. What's your PC build like to run this?
Thank you. Its a Ryzen 3600, 16GB RAM and, most important here, a RX 6800 graphics card
Why would you put in all the effort to make the game as realistic as possible and then put a health bar over NPCs?!
Good point. But keep in mind, its still a RPG, so you need stuff like that. The game is full of popping up labels, text and so on
think i could run this on rx 6600 + core i5 9400f with 16gb ram? Quest 2
