SkyrimVR the only game I play now.

Sounds good, and I understand where you're coming from.
Whilst I'm not a Skyrim player, I do the equivalent whilst flying, using DCS.
Now have 19 aircraft (including the FC3 ones). I have a "daily" set of missions to practice (e.g. carrier landing in the F18), then whatever takes my fancy.
Had some time yesterday, so that was:
- Fly all of my fully modelled aircraft, just to ensure that I've not forgotten motor skills on say how to juggle the rudder and control torque on takeoff for say the Spitfire and other warbirds
- Re-visit the Ka50 attack helicopter and go practice some practical application against a target group
- Fly a couple of more difficult search and rescue missions in my Huey. One was a 45 mile flight in the dark, to a ship in the middle of nowhere and collect crew in poor weather conditions

I just find DCS so engrossing that I haven't really fired up anything else in months.
What flight stick have you? I'm thinking of getting a thrustmaster warthog for microsoft flight simulator.

I use a Virpil HOTAS. Not cheap, but very good. From people that I've flown with who've owned both the Warthog and Virpil, Virpil is usually considered the better of the two.
 
Download Wabbajack (make a folder called C:\WABBAJACK in the root directory and put Wabbajack exe in there). Run wabbajack, select Skyrim VR from the drop down, choose and install the Tahrovin modlist, following the instructions on the readme https://github.com/iAmMe27/Tahrovin#installation

Enter a new world of OMG.

There's also a lot of tweaking you can do to your Quest 2, there's a guide on Reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/skyrimvr/comments/va3n64/skyrimvr_with_new_quest_2_has_just_gone_from_meh/

Take your time, read.
Hi there i tried this and unless I pay for a Nexus premium sub I'll have to click the mod installer 100s of times, nah.

Edit: I was being a tight barsteward :D I've paid 1 months Nexus premium (£5.99) so now the mods are auto downloading, chose the UVRE mod.

ah, yes, without the premium it's a real PITA!! :D It really is worth paying for though to give a little back to the people who develop these mods. I subscribe to Nexus ever so often just to support them.

I got a lifetime subscription a few years ago before they stopped it (it was really cheap) and I am sooo glad I did. :D
 
my wabbajack install for UVRE failed on 1 archive, restarted the download a few times, didn't solve it. so manually downloaded the file (it was ENB related) and placed it in the download folder, restarted wabbajack download and it started to download *all* files from the beginning! 5 hours downloading wasted so gave up on UVRE and im downloading another VR wabbajack i found somewhere. hope it works.

Sorry but that sounds like user error as Wabbajack does not do that unless you tell it to "overwrite files". Otherwise It will simply check for what is in your downloads folder and only download what it needs.

:confused: as per the instructions i created the "installation location" folder and folder for the wabbajack exe on the root of a drive on the same hd as my skyrimvr installation. i then just let the wabbajack install run through, it ran ok for hours, then the wabbajack install said "installation failed", retried the installation several times but kept failing. i googled "wabbajack installation failed" and was directed (by reddit) to looking in the wabbajack log, seen at the end of the log it said "unable" to download an ENB archive, as per the reddit page it said manually add the missing file to the download folder, i did this and retried the wabbajack installation and it started at archive 1 of about 700 lol. maybe i had overwrite files checked!
 
i must have checked overwrite then!
well using wabbajack its loading the game with

VR Edition - The 11 Years Of Skyrim Ultimate Graphics Mod Pack​

installed.
no failed downloads. but my B and Y buttons aren't scrolling through the menu. i think i need to select controller bindings for oculus touch/VRIK? i'll figure it out tomorrow.
looks good though i like the graphics upgrade and the body and grabbing things with your hands etc.

Edit: got the buttons working now in menu by installing an older SkyUI, but ive noticed now a minority of npcs have glowing blue heads :D
The graphics are really nice im very impressed. May attempt UVRE again tomorrow.

Oh man my Skyrim VR is looking flippin sweeeeetttt! Tahrovin really is an awesome wabbajack modpack to use as a base, with very good performance and visuals out of the box. I added a few texture packs and tweaks to the load order and am now finally going to start a stable full playthrough without breaking anything (famous last words). :D

You seem to be making life a bit difficult for yourself, just get Tahrovin installed and call it a day. ;)

i probably will do yeah, the mod i'm using now uses a lot of 4k textures and my 3080ti is struggling to maintain smoothness. i have plenty of time left with my nexus sub to try Tahrovin.

I use a similar spec (3090) and can help you tweak it by sharing my mod list and load order with you. I am very happy with how it runs now and the balance of visuals and performance is great. :)

thats kind of u, thx. i'll play through the modded version i have now for a bit and if i decide to try Tahrovin i'll take u up on it :)
 
Bought this in the Steam sale and proceeded to try Tahrovin… some of the content isn‘t exactly what I was after, is it ok to just turn some of them off or do I have to be quite specific?

Other thing is when I enter buildings, there is a transparent still of me opening the door over everything. Goes away when I go back outside but it happens all the time. It’s really annoying!! Any suggestions?

You can turn off the combat NSFW stuff in mods like Yamate (or whatever its called, similar name). For the rest of the stuff I guess some can also be disabled in MCM (the mods beginning with Se*).

No idea, sorry. You can go to the Discord mentioned in the Readme to get support for the modpack. After the intial "getting used to Discord" period I use it a lot now and the modlist author is super responsible and helpful.
