VR Are mods for the regular version of the game usable in the VR version?

[Melodik]

I just discovered that there is nexus support for the fallout4 VR version, and was left wondering if the mods for the original version work in VR

I don't know the exact process but no, you can't just add a mod to the VR version. I think it requires special encoding. An example would be for totally different controllers. You can't use an xbox controller in VR, you need the special paddles, and you can't use the VR paddles in the standard version of the game. Do a YouTube search for FO4 VR. There are several videos that explain how it works.

Some do, some don't. Trial & error is the only way of telling.

 

I'm running 134 mods, most of which are apparently not for VR ;).

 

Let me know if you want the complete list.

Go to Fallout 4 Nexus page. On the top header click on Mods, on the drop down click on categories, then scroll to the bottom. once there you will find " VR " there are currently. about 108 VR mods.

Most work fine. Depends though. If they require F4SE and don't have a VR version you're usually out of luck. Also Bleachers quest mod crashes. I copied all the DLC over from my Flatout4 game to VR FO4.
You certainly want to use the Version Checker mod which fixes compatibility issues with version #'s for mods in VR:

Here's a compatibility mod list for VR even though I don't use it much:

Hi, are you able to get MCM to work in VR?

I find very, very few mods actually do anything in VR for Fallout.

Am I missing something?

I have about 150 mods on Skyrim VR and it is just about perfect, but FOVR is barely playable.

 

Any advice you could give on some good mods or about MCM would be greatly appreciated.

FYI, I asked a question on this page and someone provided a link for MCM in FOVR which seems to work.

The VR version of MCM isn't quite ready. I comes up, but there was no way of actually making choices (like using a slider bar for example.) I talked to the developer today and they are still working on it. It will eventually be put up on Nexus when they get the inputs worked out.
