The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim VR is finally here for Rift, Vive, and Windows VR owners! What was originally released as a PSVR timed-exclusive late last year has made the transition to the older, more powerful, and more feature-rich PC VR platforms. Anyone that’s ever played The Elder Scrolls games (or any Bethesda games for that matter) knows that modding is always a huge part of the experience on PC.
Unfortunately, Bethesda is not offering official mod support on Skyrim VR or Fallout 4 VR, but that isn’t stopping fans from tinkering anyway. As expected, it didn’t take long for the internet to figure out how to mod Skyrim VR, so we’re going to break it down for everyone that wants to do something magical like enhance the dragons in their Skyrim VR playthrough.

Unfortunately, this means there is still no mod support for Skyrim VR on PSVR at all. Also, you should focus on using Skyrim Special Edition mods, not mods for the old, original Skyrim. And finally, any mods that require the Skyrim Script Extender (SKSE) mod as a prerequisite are not going to work since the SKSE isn’t compatible at all. So yeah, that means no SkyUI. Sad day.
